  1. rhogaine,
    I tried several searches for monitor of auto-trade advisories, but couldn't find it. Any chance the address is stored in your browser URL list?
    Thanks

  2. Here's the link you're looking for. Shyam is a good guy, very helpful and knowledgable as well. A good friend signed up for a month and got lots of good info from doing so. The thing I can't understand is why anyone would want to continue to subscribe after finding out what you need.

    Keep in mind that not all of the sites he has listed are auto-traded.

    Another succesful trade by Crowder today. This guy seems to have a good thing going.

  4. OptionSmart allocation for straight puts and calls increased. Balance is the goal.

  5. sooo.... this is what Electric is up to! Now I know why he had me change my log in info at TOS!!!

    well its ok...interesting allocations he is choosing. I want to add Peak Investing too...Its just that we have so much on the table just now that we must wait.

  6. A new spread from OS put on...The max of 2 spreads have been opened so the allocation is zero for spreads...

  8. Ok we lost on the Crowder Gap trade today. But thats trading. He tried to get a fill at a profit, but he missed and had to escape after the move disappeared, and went against him..The strategy actually is sound and this is the first loss in the Gap strategy, taking out the 100% winrate.

    This is an example of why allocation and mutiple strategies are important to your survivial in the options game.

    (I saw that fast, big down bar and said to myself this is all it takes and as good as it gets...get out and forget the 50% retrace...! but no cigar)

    Another losing trade in the Gap today. The second in a row. The win ratio is still there and I am still very happy with the strategy. I think his commentary the other day in the blog on position sizing should help a few people out there, especially on days like today. It seems his strategy works best when traded like his sample portfolio. Currently 10 contracts per trade.

    S Electric, this is where you come in. How do you prefer to have your account traded. What method do you think is the best. %, # of contracts, etc. Looking forward to your reply.

  10. I have published my spreadsheet here? or perhaps you do not have excel? I really look at the whole year for the IRA, and I allocate on a trade by trade basis.

    The only changes that I might make next year is to add Peak Investing. It's just that I do not want to spread the trades too thin and across too many advisories.

    The portfolio of long term strategies really does not change that much...the allocations do. These Money Managment methods have been good to Wifey and I, and perhaps I should manage the choices of the advisories more actively than I do. It's just that I get into a different trading mode when it comes to our retirement account.
