All option player. Question on profits. I've been dabbling in options as my sole investment (besides 401K) for the last 7 yrs or so and have done terrible due to greed, poor timing, greed, buying WAY OTM strikes and greed. Did I say greed ? Anyway, since 10-1-97 I've made 12 trades and have averaged 10 % profit/trade. I had 6 losers and 6 winners (some 4:1 plays). I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of taking profits when thier there (NO GREED) and cutting my losses quicker. My queation is what do the people on this trend expect to make on a per trade basis ?? Wandering minds want to know. DJF
