Hi, I am wanting to trade options and I am going to paper trade for awhile. Can anyone suggest what strategy I should be learning in these markets. I have read a few books and are familiar with straddles & credit spreads, but there are so many and I actually don't know where to start, hopefully someone can help me. thanks

Hands up all those SPI traders who didn't fall asleep this afternoon.

zzz

It turns out that it is possible for SPI to be even more boring today... a 6 pt range for the last hour.

Which way will it break?

Lol. I suppose most girls need their beauty sleep so don't want to stay up and trade the European markets...

Well make sure you don't trade the Taiwan market where green = fall/loss.

Had a few days off so a bit cautious today.
But if the low holds then ill be looking for a rally up to 4230-4240.
Until then I will just watch.

hi y'all
I'm new to forums but chose this thread cos' I'm a futures trader as well (commodities mainly). Recently started daytrading FTSE. Can't say that any of the markets are worth getting involved in right now. They're all stuck in a range and definitely like watching paint dry. I've got position trades in Gold and EUR/USD but throwing my hands up in frustration.
Times like these I try to work on myself (practising patience/discipline), which includes reading some good books on trading. Anyone read any good ones lately?

Is this trade based on the breakout above weekly high? Or funnymentals?
