Trading Break on a Perfect Storm
Just a quick post here. May 24th this year mark the end of my trading the broad range market to trading just options. Since the beginning of the year, the return has been incredible and that still continues to my options trading in which at one time reach 60%+ in just under two months. [...]
Lesson Learned
My GOD! A quite hefty sum of potential profit got lost last night and that made me learn a lesson. All this long I hesitate on adjusting the trailing stop for positions that I held, mostly because most of my trading friends in options doesn’t really employ cut-loss or trailing stop because they always claim [...]
Big Day Tomorrow
The final day for me in college will be tomorrow. The gruelsome final project that has been going on for 8 full months will be put to an end (read: the final project is actually my final paper, about the usage of neural network in stock market using options data as its data feed).

Windows Crashed Again
Windows XP on my Macbook crashed again and although I can login, it refused to run any program at all (installed using Bootcamp). Now back to reinstallation (this time using Parallel), let’s hope I can sync with my P990 on Windows via Parallel (because last time I tried, it can’t).

Clarification on My Trading
Just a little clarification for those of you who already have my trading history, please do not misinterpret my trading size with my trading account. I’m a trader so it’s natural that I trade A LOT of money during that three month period. But that big numbers don’t mean that I have a big trading [...]
4 Months Using Apple: Working with IT
Well I’m officially 4 months into using Apple on daily basis now. There’s quite a funny thing here, I am using a MacBook from Apple but I often boot to Windows XP to get the job done. At first I didn’t notice this trend until a friend of mine show me that on average I [...]
