Disliked{quote} I agree. I switched my short-term plays to scalping indices outright, with futures or CFDs. Majority of option plays will be selling stuff, usually spreads, and occasionally naked selling.Ignored
I am sick of the "excitement" of fundies, too. I hate hearing about the Central Banks of the world and the never-ending Greek drama. I hate having to mind all that noise to plan my trades. Maybe I don't have to? Maybe that's just a habit, too? - one I could get rid of? How often do you hear the tt gurus talking about fundies? Perhaps "mechanical" traders learn that they don't even need to pay attention to fundies, by and large...?
Anyway, I have gotten to the point with options trading where I can see what works and what does not and I need to streamline what I do, forge myself into an efficient trading machine. Cut out what does not work, make better what does work.
