That is why I always post winners and losers. What gets me is the people that post "if you bought it at the bottom at .05 and sold it at the top at $10 you turned $250 into $50,000! Woo Hoo. Yes people are going to buy at .05 at the bottom when an option looks like it's going to expire worthless, and then hold on to it all the way to the absolute top at $10. I'd rather talk about actuality not what could have been but never happens.
I think your answer to that comes with experience. When playing this game there is nothing in stone. The best traders on here lose some. The trick is to accept a loss. Make it a small loss. Know your enemy. That would be yourself 99% of the time. Study,learn and make rules you live by and you will make money. Other words they don't talk about losing here because it is just a given that if you trade you will at some point and time lose. My 2 cents worth.
