I've lost money with the best of them. You are right. Any investor that claims a perfect record is either lying or has never made more than a couple trades. With options, losses are a very real issue. The ultimate goal is to make up for the losses with consistent, sizable gains. We've done an excellent job of that. Last week, we locked in gains of 400% and just this morning, we sold contracts for three-day gains of 60%. That's how you make money in the options market. Don’t run. I’ve lost money with the best of them.

I have been told to run from him as fast as I can, if someone claims that he has no losing trades. What do you have to say, Andrew? Ian Hi Andrew,

You don’t show or mention any losing trades. I have been told to run from him as fast as I can, if someone claims that he has no losing trades. What do you have to say, Andrew?

Natural gas futures trade in units of 10,000, not 100 as per equity options. Add a few more zeroes to the equation and everything adds up just fine. No error in your math or our article.

Is my calculator off base? Please do the math for me. $.056 x 100 x 10,000 = $56,000 not $5,600,000.
Is my calculator off base?
