roy i hear you yes i do your "would you buy the opposite way " idea
sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
i know my trading works best in a range bound market that goes back and forth i can kill on puts and calls
days like today are bad for me ...where there is a huge trend ... and stocks go one way i had problems this spring when market was grinding up and had it today when it was going down
i feel like i am getting better as a trader i am able to keep my losses low and pick a high amount of winners and the interesting and exciting part to me is recently each winning trade has been a higher percentage in other words .. earlier this year each winning trade percentage averaged about 23% -- now it is moving up this past month it is has been north of 70%!
my new goal is 80% winning trades with an average win percentage of 45% if i can do this on consistent basis i can make serious money .
so i won't beat myself up too much it is amazing my 2.4 X amzn put was failure because it could have been 6X !!!
Roy I'll keep that in mind about looking at calls when holding winning puts. I get so set on one track I miss opportunities to maximize a trade. Also miss chances to get out of a loser, and into a winner.
Link was very useful. A tool I did not know of. There are so many different techniques and indicators people use. It's all about finding YOUR way of trading. Your info is not unheard. Thanks.
