What are your holding periods generally? Do you hold positions overnight? What do markets do you trade?
Welcome JEL! We're happy to see you here.

My favorite types of positions are longer term spread positions or selling naked options. I like these because it is a more conservative approach to the markets(aiming for 20-30% returns) and your able to manage risk and use statistics to your advantage. These are generally held 6-8 weeks, in some cases even longer.
Thank you for welcoming me. I look forward to getting to know you.:)Quote:
