I only started 1st week of Jan. 2018 and SO is allowing me to bring my trading to the next level.
After becoming extremely annoyed that I was hardly getting filled with any of the official trades with the exception of the losing trades like UAL and a couple of the SVXY trades (down $1600 at one point) I took matters into my own hands and thanks to @Kim documenting all his trades and @Christof+ with AOT I was able to reverse engineer a basic set of rules for the straddles and calendars.
And thanks to @Yowster, @RapperT, @Djtuxand @Maji I've been able to continuously fine tuning my rules. I think I'm only down about $500 at this point.
A big *Thank You* to Kim, the mentors and the community making comments while I stick my neck out making my own trades.
