Rules for Success in Option Trading

By Lawrence McMillan

Rule 1:


Trade In Accordance With Your Comfort Level And Psychological Identity


If you are not comfortable selling naked options, don't worry - even if though such strategies are nicely profitable for some traders, they should not be used if they cause you sleepless nights. If hedged positions drive you crazy because you know you'll have a losing side as well as a winning side, perhaps you should trade options more as a speculator, forming opinions and acting accordingly.


The important thing to realize is that it is much easier to make money if you are "in tune" with your strategies, whatever they might be. No one strategy is right for all traders, due to their individual risk and reward characteristics and accompanying psychological demands.

Dow Jones is Down

by Norman Hallett

This week Norman warns us to not follow the media hype! Negative descriptions of what's going on with the market, words like "crash", can really influence a trader if they're not disciplined to follow their trading plan. He tells us what we should be concentrating on instead of all the "hyperbole thrown at us"...

PLEASE READ. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. There is a substantial risk of loss trading commodities, stocks, bonds and options with or without this or any other advertised product, service or system. Also hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
