RE: plus it gets overly complicated and you dont want to be confused in options trading.. trust me..

thank you for the warning.
I still have few minor questions.
1)don't you need to know the target in order to build your process (or pricing) and not other way around *-))
2)what do you mean by "complex math"?
3)And about "If it works dont mess with it.." - I assume since you are planning to charge for your service then it did not work well enough *-))
4)"that formula is also a custom thing, not black schoals, better" - that is no big deal to improve on Black-Scholes (helps to know how to spell if you want to give an advice on option trading) yet there are not many who did.
5)" i dont care if time+volit premium " - you are the 1st option trader who is not concerned with volatility. I would love to learn about your concepts more *-))
6)"A profit of 100-200% is not bad per trade," - would not it depend on risk. You know if you win 200% once and loose 100% 10 times that would not be that good :-))
TIA
-Albert

What do you think of the analysis that Ben Antanaitis
posts on the News and Information thread? (Do option
writers manipulate the stock price to ensure a
minimum payout on expiration?) I've recently started
buying options, with mixed results. I bought AMD April
25 Calls for 0.75, sold at 4.25, and rolled most of
the money into April 30 Calls at 1.00 last Thursday. I'm
still holding them, and they ain't worth much today. :-(
