>> My earlier mistake was not in buying naked calls in the first place, but in failing to sell them at the right time and take profits when I had them.

But how will you know when "the right time" is this time around?

The lesson is that you will never know.

The solution is to set a target at the time of entry, and have the discipline to sell when you hit it. No resetting the target allowable.

Until you understand that at a visceral level, you're the putz at the poker table wondering who the sucker is.
