IMHO people that are trading coaches / mentors are not a failed traders! There is really a point in making a comparison about coaches in some other professions that haven't had a professional career in that profession. Some people fulfill their purpose by teaching others and they draw their...

Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are lots of journals but there aren't many (almost none) which are mainly focused on options trading. Which one are you using?

@options-george I had also taken described path. Learning from books and from the internet communities / various resources until I felt comfortable enough to try and test the ideas on the demo account (something similar). This is a cycle for me actually - learning and testing. I already saw how...

Hi, I must say that I have learned a lot since I joined T2W and I greatly appreciate the community! Thanks I am currently actively looking to supplement my learning experience by enrolling in some type of options trading education. Have you used any of the online options schools, mentors, even...

Hey guys, I am hoping that some of the members might be able to help me with a bit of a research I am doing. I am working on a tool for manual backtesting that enables you to observe your trade in the past. What I would like to know is what are the biggest problems and obstacles that you face...

Can you make your question a bit more explanatory? You could actually scrape the data from that page, or try to use Yahoo YQL as API endpoint at https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console (not sure if the data is available)

I see the point in all methods, probably the best approach is to combine them. I like the @Big_P quote about really understanding your strategy! But how to see its performance so we could get a better understanding of it? I see here the space where backtesting might come. What are some of the...

What about OptionVue and Optionnet Explorer? I hear about them too, anybody used them, what are their drawbacks?

Hi everyone, I would like to resurrect one question which was asked couple of years ago, I guess this situation changed a lot till today. So, for all those which backtest their ideas before committing real money to them, can I ask what methods & software you use to perform this? I am interested...
