<< These computerized crystal balls should not influence us too much - except hold us back in our irrationality. >>

The more u use instruments & rules the less is your chance to win - you can only win when you did something "wrong" and get finally right.

"It's not important if you win or lose, what matters is how much you win and how much you lose." (Sorros)

related to the question "how far from the money" (say a long call):

When you're right, you have a better leverage if you bought far from the money. (you have always less money playing)

When you're wrong, you will lose all - but all means less when you've bought cheap.

I'm in CPQ with 240 00 $40 leaps, and in every possible case this will be better than holding $20 leaps - in my humble opinion. :)

It's irrelevant to gain 20%. I want to win at least 100%, if possible in more than 50% of trades. (Actually I won 700% over all since 1/96.)

PS: like Janko, I'm more than 75% in cash since Apr., 6th.
