Hi BigRed7. Thanks for your question. Three of us are or have mostly been trading on this board for a few years. Beerworld, smartone and me, Roy
Each of us employ some combination of technical analysis and news. I am 99% technical. Each of us is pretty well acquainted with the general trading notions of the others, sometimes getting useful clues so we watch each others' trading, if we have time. Many other maybe wannabe traders happen by from time to time, and we are interested and attempt to be helpful. Always courteous.
I trade most days, I'd say 18 days, at least a little, out of two weeks. Often I attempt 2 or three or up to, say half a dozen scalp attempts in each session. Captured a BIDU puts scalp earlier this morning for 2.06 x. That ratio means the sale result divided by the cost of entry. Right now I see that I stopped out of FB Dec 2, 120 FB puts (while out for medical) at 2.68 x. Unusual to get a couple of doubles and nothing else into the last hour. Thanks very much he says. Beerworld is by far the best trader here, but he has to limit his comments in the interest of his own work.
