I had a troll once. Lovely critter. Lived down the back garden under the bridge with all my TTY shares.

Eh? the red highlights aren't helping. I assume you mean sum total in dollar terms which is not what you said....

Why am i deemed to be trolling if i haven't traded recently?.....

Because if you haven't been trading recently, you have no basis to make the comments you made in the opening post, ergo, a troll post.

I assume you never backtest or paper trade a new system. You only validate a new system until you start to lose real money..... right?

If you cant profit in anything you do Trading/Property/Art/Coins/Business/Love/Weight loss/Smoking/
you have 3 choices.
(1) Do nothing
(2) Keep doing the same thing until someone else does something.
(3) Do something about it!

Yep I agree ( 3 ) , make an effort in any area , you will then succeed or succumb .
Those who follow ( 1 ) become center-links best customers

If you believe you can backtest an options trading strategy, you're barking up the wrong tree. A backtest cannot consider all the parameters needed in deciding to enter a particular strategy. A backtest cannot metamorphose strategies as market conditions develop. It cannot make a subjective judgement on option valuation.

If backtesting is an important validation for you, I strongly suggest to stick to stocks or futures.

Just my opinion based on making my living from trading options.

I think it's impossible to make money from windows and doors.

Sash, sliding, French doors... it's all ****e over the long run.

No comments on this Mr Orix?

Everyone has jumped to the conclusion that i have recently lost money (i haven't traded in two years) or been duped by some bonehead seminar (now thats funny).

May I ask what prompted the original outburst about options?

Agreed.... With the downturn in construction its really tough out there (and french doors aren't as popular nowadays)......

HAHA well I can't argue with that!

I like French doors FWIW, but don't currently live where there are flies and mozzies.

it seems you are simply trolling.

What is trolling? Dont worry... got it from another post.

I am curious about backtesting oppies strats. Lots of oppies are illiquid, and may not trade during the day, so you can't simply use last price.
And I do not know of a provider that supplies historical intraday bid/ask data for oppies, further making backtest difficult.
Anyone care to enlighten me on that?

For the retail trader, there is OptionVue's backtrader module.
Historical spot and option prices can be simulated in 15 minute intervals
