bacchus ii: "Now, could you explain why paper profit is different than cash in your account. Especially if your cash is in our northern peso these day :-)" Talk to any trader who has been around for any time...The hardest thing to learn is not when to buy, but when to sell...In options, paper profits can vanish in a heartbeat...If AMD falls back to $13 next week, Elmer's paper gain on his cc contract vanishes...In options you haven't won until the option has expired, or until you've unravelled the position...
