>>>Im sure that what ive said contradicts every known trading rule but there you go....<<< I almost posted the same thought when I described my 'rules'!
>>>$1,000 profit is $1,000 in any language, and I try and remind myself constantly what $1,000 means in the real world. <<< My recent 'trading flaw' is the fact that I want 4-figure profits, but the first number needs to be 4 as well, if you get my drift. That's why I watched a $2,000 profit disappear from the puts I shorted on ASND. I didn't think it was worth closing the position until the profit was twice that. Matter of fact, I did the same thing with USRX & ASND last month 9before expiration). Didn't think my profits were big enough so I waited.
Oh well...I need reality checks every now and then to keep me on my toes :)
>>>not sarcasm at all just friendly banter. I appreciate all your comments and opinions. <<< Excluding my abuse of Judy, I'd say this thread has really changed for the better. There's actually ideas being exchanged, and tactics & trades being discussed, like the good ol' days. |
