    Hi,

    I have one question. Can we make money if we sell 1 month Straddle after a Crash (lets say 10% crash) ?

    It sounds pretty safe strategy... Since we dont expect another crash during the time being (except Volsvagen...)

  5. That's all well and good if it was accurate. Unfortunately, whenever you use the term probabilities it means something that can be quantified exactly-- like the house does when gambling---TA can't be quantified therefore there are no "probabilities" involved. These terms are used in error by vendors who want to make TA appear t be something it is not.

  6. You made the money despite TA, not because of it. Fooled by randomness.

  8. Real men do not use technical analysis.

    And also, WTF is this "TA" that everybody keeps referring to?
