In order to reach my goals, it is essential to accompany that burning desire with the faith that I can accomplish them, despite any unexpected and temporary set backs. More importantly, that belief must be backed up with action, because “faith without action is dead,” as Napoleon Hill used to say. How does that faith translate into success? Faith allows us to see the final vision in detail, even before we begin. That vision will sustain us during the drawdown periods, when nothing seems to work. That is the hard part, but we have the power to control our thoughts - we can make them positive and expectant that sooner or later we will get back in due course what we seek.

A burning desire means that you put all of your faculties in the pursuit of your dream, not cautiously, but ready to take your destiny into your own hands and go for it. Now I don’t mean taking unnecessary risks, but rather put your effort into it with the passion necessary to overcome obstacles and to reach success. It is far more valuable that you spend time back testing and paper trading a strategy for months, which requires much effort on your part, than to simply enter a trade to see how it will do.

The truth is that there are 3 wave patterns that, while powerfully trending, are better classified as corrections, and these include the zigzag and double zigzag. These days, the two zigzag patterns seem to be far more common that the impulse patterns, so it is imperative that if you trade options based on Elliott Theory you become acquainted with them and learn to take advantage of them.

 In the 1930s, Ralph N. Elliott discovered that stock market prices tend to move in recurring patterns. He defined these patterns (or "waves") and explained how they combine to create larger versions of themselves. He called his discovery the Wave Principle. Read More.

Why is it that we like butterflies if they have only a limited reward? why do we avoid OTM calls? all because we want to have high probability trades? what if we combine both in a smart, high potential trade?

There are times when you do not have a directional bias, but expect that the stock in question may move strongly, or to the contrary, you believe that the stock in question is entering a dormant period. With options you can take advantage of these situations. In fact, there are options traders that have abandoned directional trading in favor of approaches that depend mostly on time decay (Theta) and/or implied volatility (IV, Vega).

Options strategies come in many forms, and you do not have to put out the amount of capital that a stock portfolio requires to accomplish the very same thing: a portfolio of limited risk, though with a limited time to accomplish it.

Most traders start their careers as self-directed investors buying a portfolio of stocks. Since any stock you buy can go to $0.0, all your capital is at risk at least in theory. If you are a wise investor, you’d probably have in mind a price at which you’d sell your stock,

professionals recommend selling options in order to assure consistent profits, but they could not possibly guarantee that a violent move in the market will not cause you to lose a great deal of your profits. Even if you increase the probability of success by moving the spreads further OTM, you may be increasing your risk/reward ratio even further. Doing so may result in too much capital chasing too limited a profit potential. This is not a recipe for becoming rich.

If you look at the outfits that sell trading “education”, you often see the claim that trading is easy, and that with their system you have a path to riches. Invariably, those that believe this pay the hefty fees for limited time seminars, learn what they have to teach you and then try it for a while. More often than not, people give up too soon, as the promises of riches quickly fade into the harsh frustration of reality.
