Thanks robwin: I post my trades because there's a lot of smart people out there and I do value constructive criticism. For example, I've been trading options since October and due to my day trading habits I was flipping options daily or every couple of days to make 1/4's and 1/2's doing buy/writes in 1000 share lots. Dan and the others offered various reasons why that wasn't a smart thing to do. So I checked it out and found that as long as the trade wasn't going to result in a loss, I could hang on to the trade until expiration and get the other half anyway. My trading time frames are changing from minute trades to at least 30 days. I find this kind of patience to be very difficult. Best regards, Dominick
