      It all comes down to relative risk. I understand the comment, but truthfully, if you don't sell too many contracts, the damage can only be so bad. Also, I seem to be better at seeing where price isn't going than where it is. So it kinda makes sense ...

      Actually, yes. I take those trades at times. I have a method I call "Box Trading", that I haven't really mentioned here. It's for range-bound markets. (Which most are, most of the time....) A little different approach than we have been talking ...

      1% is 1%....doesn't matter the size of your account. I know a lot of the members have been remarking about this one, and it seems to be gaining traction. Once you think in percentage terms, it changes everything. I went from a small account to about ...
