About myself as a Trader

I am a retail investor dabbling with trades while having a full time job. I initially started trading in late 1990s and lost money in the dot com crash. I will say I was a dumb investor then. In 2009, I again got interested after reading some academic articles (I have fair degree of trust on academic articles as I know the rigor that goes into it). Then read options and was absolutely fascinated by it. Currently I trade on some stocks and trade Condor Options. I have my own version of binary options that I also trade. 

In this blog, I am hoping to bring out some option ideas that I have learnt since 2009 and discuss on my trades. The stocks and options are fairly complex if one has to make consistent money. I have learnt a great deal from Option Gurus and analysts in CNBC. So discussion with like minded people will be of mutual benefit.

In addition, blog serves as a diary that I can always go back to.

As of Oct-2013 - I consider myself somewhere between novice and intermediate in trading options. I am still loosing money (though not much) in trades. I have learnt a great deal since 2009, but is it enough? Only time will say if I can make consistent money.
