  1. Add diagonals and calendars to it. They too are 2-legs of Call or Put, but where DTE of 2nd leg (long) is greater...

    You seriously can not figure out his return??

    Its basic math,as in multiplication,addition and subtraction..

    YIKES,good luck with that 30 percent + per month return you think is a walk in the park

  3. BS. I said just "Something isn't that optimal, I would say", ie. meaning there is room for improvement, IMO.

    If he has exactly such profits like 30+% (cf. his latest results), then why do you question when I say 30%?

  8. Response to E-I's comment in #248 "but it seems you didn't like my reply and have blocked me"


    If you look back through my thread you will see that I welcome comments and/or reasoned challenge from people with experience, insight, knowledge, and/or intellectual curiousity.

    I looked at your other posts at that time and added you to the ignore list.

    In this recent exchange you have given me no reason to revise that.

  9. Fine, man! I don't care if you block me.
    If you don't answer a posting of mine, which was very well on-topic and also polite,
    then it's now my turn: I'm now blocking you. Bye, bye, dumb snobby lying idiot! :)
    Lying, b/c you previously gave a different reason, you claimed I had not recognized your shaet or something that. Everybody can cf. above.

  10. How sweet! ^^^^

    Now that everybody has everybody else on ignore, we'll have to cope without E-I's valued contributions and get back to the grown-up stuff; making money and reporting how.
