Monday, October 15, 2007 -- Today, the market continued with the weakness that started last Thursday. Naturally, the bounce on Friday was simply a reflex move. We've yet to see the market put together back-to-back selling in several weeks. Therefore, today's move lower was of no surprise to us. In fact, approximately 1 hour into the morning we entered the October 725 Puts. As the chart illustrates, we scaled out at levels 723 and 721.50. We decided to completely move to the sidelines once 721.50 was reached. The reason for this was the perceived support from last Thursday's intraday low (721.16). As you can see, the OEX fell to this area and proceeded to trade sideways for the next hour. True, we did not ride the position to the actual lows of the session. But then again, a profit of +35% is something you don't gamble on. The first exit came within 14-minutes of entry and the second exit came just 15-minutes later. Not a bad way to start the week. For illustrative purposes, here is the progression of today's trade:

While there is great potential for reward trading stocks, futures and options, there is also substantial risk of loss and you must decide your own suitability to trade. Future trading results can never be guaranteed. This is not an offer to buy or sell stock, futures, options or commodity interests. Most trading systems are based on historical formulas which have worked in the past. However, what has happened before may or may not happen again. You can lose all your money trading stocks, futures, and options and you must decide your own suitability as to whether or not to trade. Only trade with true risk capital you can afford to lose. Only trade markets you can properly afford to trade. Properly funded trading accounts typically perform better than those that are not. Never risk more than 2-3% of your account on any one trade. Always define your risk before entering a trade and place a stop to limit your risk. There are no guarantees or certainties in trading. Trading involves hard work, risk, discipline and the ability to follow rules and trade through any tough periods during a system’s draw downs. If you are looking for a guarantee, trading is probably not for you. Most people lose money trading. One of the reasons is that they lack discipline and are unable to be consistent. A system can help you become consistent. Ironically, worrying about the monetary aspect of trading can contribute to and cause a trader to make trading errors. Therefore, it is important to only trade with true risk capital.
