What are you talking about? I didn't make any comment before that post. I just asked whether you don't follow your own rules.
How did these trades (CML's....not just this thread) work out? He posted a couple... _______________ EDIT: ouch. $55 to $45 on BZUN. Hmmm. He must have hired Desterio.
Oh, perhaps I got comment confused with a different person, sorry about that. I use the back-tester to find trades and optimize them, but I do follow my own rules from time-to-time, as I know most of our members do. I do follow the rules compulsively in other areas, but not with technicals.
Hey. I meant no disrespect btw... I was actually genuinely interested in how things worked out. The Desterio thing was a slam on another member here, not you. The reason I asked was because of all the sponsors here.... you've captured my attention as a possible worthwhile spend. I meant to write a post prior to LULU's ER to see how it worked out in your system but I didn't. $89/month puts you in a league of about 3 dozen premium services.... Still watching.
vanzandt, you would love CML. Ophir is 0/4 and he still beats your win rate. Just sell your shopping cart.
Ophir this is not the point - you had better timing than me perhaps. However whichever way you look at it this does not qualify as a "Mammoth Bull Run" unless your Mammoths are truly puny: Mammoth: huge. "a mammoth corporation" synonyms: huge, enormous, gigantic, giant, colossal, massive, vast, immense, mighty, stupendous, monumental, Herculean, epic, prodigious, mountainous, monstrous, titanic, towering, elephantine, king-sized, king-size, gargantuan, Brobdingnagian; You cannot seriously claim that this was more than a random rise that quickly reversed. I am subscribed to CML and have done great with the earnings related research. Here however the risk is considerably higher as with the earnings trades the rising volatility will help a 40 delta call In this trade the fall of the stock would have set you back thousands of bucks with your advice to hold to expiration. BTW you misread what I said, I took the trade but as a ratio so there was no money in it - in fact credit and the position will likely expire with all options worthless for a fair gain. My suggestion to you is to look at strategies where in cases like this you do not bet the farm on timing.
