Real Option Trading

[rot]

Hi guys,

the safest way to make Money in the markets is to sell books and online course how to make Money in the markets or becoming a successful Trader.

People are greedy and like to dream but they do not want to face the reality. Of course there are some Traders who made a fortune with small amounts of Money (they were lucky) but that is not the way trading works.

First of all you Need Money to make Money in the markets. That is the most important part of trading you Need Money to do it. of course no Broker would tell you that because they Need the Clients who think they can make millions with a 1000 USD account Balance.

The next couple of days I will post a real track record of a real account. This thread is for People who own an account of 100,000 USD at least and want to see the good and bad times of trading Options and what is possible without doing crazy things.

My Motivation is to Show new Traders that they should make decent Money somewhere else and after that you should learn how to trade Options with an edge.

Hi

I attached a track record for the last 7 years like you can see it is posible to make money but if you dream of getting rich quick buy a lottery ticket.

What we are doing is trading for big accounts, this account was too small initially so in Euro terms it is not a l ot of money this account earned.

Imagine you do it with a 500,000 EUR account that is where it make sense and you can make a living out of it.

By the way ever wondered why all the coaches out there never show there track record?

There are 3 reasons

1.) They do not make any money, but you would be an idiot to show that to people who you want to sell your coaching
2.) They make money but what they do is gambling not trading but they do not want to show that
3.) They make money but the track record would show that the dream of starting trading with 1000 Euro and make out of it one million is just a dream

How does a good options trader make money where a good trader can't?

With Options you can profit from sideway down and up markets.

The biggest advantage of options are that the odds are on your side and that you do not have to predict the future in a perfect way

For example if you trade a Corn future long and corn does not move you will make no money, if you are writing (selling) put options on the corn future and it does not not move you will make money

I will try to post some trades in the future real time trades not past trades so that people can have a look.

I understand the various strategies that option trading offers, but they're generally an expensive way to take part in the markets. If corn is ranging, a trader could just switch to another commodity that is not and take a long or short position in that: or just stay in cash and wait. But even if you use an option strategy that depends on the corn price not moving, you could still be wrong.

Of course there is no iron clad way.

Trading options allows you much more room for error and most traders lose money. Option trading is just my way of trading and I am profitable with it.

There are a lot of ways trading the markets and everyone has to find its own way, but most trader lose trading directional and I would not recommend it to anyone
