Twick, Nothing to laugh at there...we've all done the same things getting better tools to aid in our decision making. We're just lucky to be experiencing the boom of technology and information all at once. It's a learning experience for everyone as the markets and trading practices evolve. You are doing great and you will soon be making enough money to trade using RT systems. Best, Jeff

Twick.. thanks, you are doing fine. by the way about options, be afraid, be very afraid... seriously, holding an option these days is dangerous. If trading in these volatile times is like walking a tightrope, then trading options is like walking a well-greased tightrope, over a gapping, active volcano. I buy them mostly intraday or sometimes about 3:30 for a possible gap up in the morning, late afternoon and sometimes 1-3 day hold. They decay quickly and are not assets.. Don't buy more than 1 once in a while. I never buy more than 10 calls unless they are particularly cheap. And the index options I buy and sell the same day or again for a possible gap in the morning of the S&P
