  4. "The simplier the system - the better it is."

    Out of that entire thread...that sentence struck out to me the most. While everything else in there was noise, content and filler

    Complexity...is just ... complexity. Simpleness is rather incredibly profound in life.

    All systems like to view things in hindsight while making random coincidences out of sheer circumstance while there is necessarily no correlation

    For longest time tried understanding the jargon of options, never understood it where I could find an edge better than 50/50. Probably why it took so long for understanding hedging.

    I have built option system that did ok till couple years ago lost considerable amount of profits. Have corrected problems. But I trade stock options based on underlying chart patterns. Have a target based on deviations of the stock and those are put credit spreads sold and debit spreads bought at that amount, cause trying to get out of options ten bucks away get sqeezed on low volume. Exits are not previous S&R. Most trades completed in 4 days or less..

    Am a pattern chartist which only makes sense to me.

    @schizo. Thanks for the read

    On a side note, don't know how long I be bothering all, doctors say I have early stages of dementia. I am aware each day of being forgetful or can't pronounce words I can see. So if something looks odd, let me know, I try rereading but...

  10. Still playing your little fantasy game after all these years? Even at your age? What's the point - just can't face reality?
