Oh snap, that sounds like a challenge. I'm with Xela in the futures corner. You wanna' take vanz in the stock corner? hehehe!
I don't think options are that difficult, it's more of a matter...of simply understanding the underlying. -- and I happen to know the SPY's/Dow/Spx daily time frame movement range well, I like to think. I don't think no other thing out there can match an Option's % movement range. Sure it's kind of high risk, high reward...but if you're game for that kind of thing...it's your paradise. I don't want to sound arrogant or cocky, but I'm fairly certain I will blow anyone else's % returns out of the water. If I'm good with the SPY's/SPX's movement on a Daily basis...How much of a killing, per se, can I make with Futures? What trading instrument out there is my Plutonium...align me with it, How much do you truly understand the market, rather than just simply tracing maybe hindsight lines Overnight Trading Academy, speedo Trading Academy, Trading is like a complex, suspense, psychological mind thriller everyday between two people. Or you vs the market. It flirts with you, and gives you subtle hints. Darkness Falls, 1999 movie
You sell yourself short here. Free...your mind. (...and you will be free, you are crazy option guy! (I am totally trying to get people into futures. I am such a futures shill. My bad.))
Basically, you are Tim the Enchanter. That is you with options. We other guys are the little knights looking for the rabbit. (This is all analogy now.) And here is what happens when we lowly people try to attack the option rabbit. We little folks have only Brother Maynard to rely upon when it comes to futures. We shall tosseth our misunderstanding upon to the Lord of trading. (and there was much Latin.)
Hey speedo, wanna' get in on the Overnight/Xela action on this challenge? We need a third teammate. I think.
