About
Eva
Eva has been trading full time since 2003. A self taught trader with a strong
background in math, physics, and computer systems, she also has a strong passion
for psychology.
"I am a technical trader. I do not trust anybody with my money. Why would
they know better than me or care about me? It's only my responsibility to not
lose my money. I do not trust the market. I do not like to be at mercy of
others."
"My objective is not to lose money in the first place. I do not compare my
results to any benchmark. Isn't that true: "you get what you measure"? My goal
is to trade well and take real cash as I go."
"All that I use today took long time of "try and error". It is work in
progress as the market is an always changing beast. Setups that work great today
will not work that well sometime in the future. But human nature never changes!"

Buy Back or not?
Eva Zaleski - February 26, 2013
This is a discovery process. My last year option trading (selling covered calls on ETFs) was a big experiment for me. It went quite well with the market in the uptrend. . . .

Covered calls in various markets
Eva Zaleski - February 09, 2013
I use a mix of In-The-Money vs. Out-The-Money calls based on market conditions to help me with diversification. In my previous blog I used different acronyms for the call types. I need to modify them: ITM (In-The-Money), OTM (Out-The-Money), ATM (At-The-Money) to keep standard. . . .

Time is the money
Eva Zaleski - January 26, 2013
By selling options (I sell only covered calls on ETFs for now), I am selling also the "time value" component which goes down to zero at expiration. . . .

Why covered calls?
Eva Zaleski - January 13, 2013
After several years of investing and trading in stocks and ETFs the time came for me to change the way I utilize my money. The intent is still the same: make money with controlled risk. Mid last year I decided to switch from just trading ETFs to employ options. As a beginner I like to start safe: get some "how to" information and work with my money a step at a time. . . .
