Don, I do not trade options at all. I have four main "segments", a core, which is rarely traded, swing trades that are entered when a stock reaches the bottom of its box an example is TTIL today, where I waited patiently for weeks for it to come back under $28, my usual "buying range") or breaks the top of a box (an example would be the reentry into SKX above $17.75 few days back), day trading mostly in the like of the Q, CCMP, MU, and few others, and "special situations". Each segment is played by its own "rules". Zeev

I'm a novice to much of this, especially all of the "alphabet soup" stuff, i.e., VIX, COMP, EMA's, $BPOFX, etc. I do try to follow your posts and hope you are correct on the rally. I do options, mostly all calls(ouch). <<< Here's the best advice you'll ever get from your above described paragraph, STOP NOW. Novices should avoid options like the plague, you should only trade options after you have had 5 years of successful stock or index trading, and then option trading should be only 5% of your trading volume. option trading is akin to putting your dollars into those giant slots on the trading floors in las vegas.
