Think in probability and with accuracy

Think in probability and with accuracy

It is essential for you as an options trader to think in probability and
with accuracy. Most of you started with just limited resources and
begin to grow along with time learning from your mistakes.

It is common to see traders lose their minds taking extreme high risk
and often chasing after the markets not knowing that the high slippage
and commission can drain their trading account.

It is sad to say that many options traders have lost their primary

It is sad to say that many options traders have lost their primary
objective and become big time gamblers. They have fallen into the
“Big Headed Syndrome”. To make big profit, you obsessed into look
for the highest possible winnings and forget about the risk involved.
Most of you will start betting and eventually got into addiction and
blow up your account because of the excitements.

Please do not believe that you can make the same kind of a killing with
consistency. It will eventually kill you, it is a delusion, it only happens
at random and rarely. It is just like striking a first prized lottery ticket.
Use your common sense. Don’t believe everything you see.

“There are more fools in the world than there are people”
-Heinrich Heine

The Big Headed Syndrome

The Big Headed Syndrome

Many options trader have been misled into believing that they are able
to achieve big winnings by the flexibility to leverage with options.

Most of these trading seminars are selling you a ticket in becoming a
millionaire just by trading options. The highly motivated feeling gives
you the false impression that you have finally found the easy way out.
You just can’t wait to fund your account and make your first trade. It
can be done but it takes patient and it takes time.

Scores under 600 will typically “red flag” a lender or other reviewer. A poor credit score.
implies that you have a history of repeatedly paying bills late (or not paying at all). It.
could also mean that you repeatedly misuse your credit (by overextending credit limits,.
for example). A poor score may not completely shut you out of obtaining credit, but it.
means that you will have to pay much more for the credit that you do get. .
Here is an example that illustrates how important it is to escape a poor credit score:.

TO POACH EGGS

TO POACH EGGS
Use a shallow frying pan partly filled with boiling water. The eggs
must be perfectly fresh. The white of an egg is held in a membrane
which seems to lose its tenacity after the egg is three days old. Such
an egg, when dropped into boiling water, spreads out; that is, it does
not retain its shape. When ready to poach eggs, take the required
number to the stove. The water must be boiling hot, but not actually
bubbling. Break an egg into a saucer, slide it quickly into the water,
and then another and another. Pull the pan to the side of the stove,
where the water cannot possibly boil. With a tablespoon, baste the
water over the yolks of the eggs, if they happen to be exposed. They
must be entirely covered with a thin veil of the white. Have ready the
desired quantity of toast on a heated platter, lift each egg with a
slice or skimmer, trim off the ragged edges and slide them at once on
the toast. Dust with salt and pepper, baste with melted butter, and
send to the table.
