Thoughts Through the Middle of May

From my losses I learn not to rush into the buy.  Beyond the research lies the calculations and the knowledge gained by the "Profit/Loss Calculator" and the "Probability Calculator."  These were two big finds that led to the months winners.  Finally!  After 4 straight loosers to kick off my options trading career I was begining to get concerned.  Of course this experience at failing led to nervous excitement when I started posting 100% gains with KOL EN.  I sold after 5 days, more than doubling my initial investment, only to find it rise another 200% by expiration.

I can't say I fully understand them, but it is nice to see that there is a place to get some statistical data before entering or exiting the trade.  This is my first month of active trading so I know I have a lot to learn.  Good Luck and Fortune!
