Kevin and Judy and other BB experimenters:

from Kevin, via Judy_ "I do know what contributes to my failures this year....not knowing when to take profit."

That's the hardest part. I think we are all able to enter a winning trade for a period of time. Is there a technical, not seat of the pants flying, method of pegging a stay in or exit point?

Do you remember when we got into a discussion of BB's? I've played around with a theory that's full of holes but almost works. If you set the # of days to the # of days left to expiration you almost consistently get the number of points needed to make par with your strike price + the premium... therefore the BB sets the mark you need to exceed (or can't linger on) if momentum turns. Make sense?
