I will avoid trading now, or at least not risk as much when it gets close to the end of the expiration week. I was unable to get into any real profitable trades these past few days, and now it has occured to me why that might be :) Adel, check Nasd’s site for an overview on options: http://www.nasdaq.com/options/education_area.stm

I'd also read advice in books to not trade on the last 2 days of an expiration week. Much of what goes on is people pinning stocks to strike prices. I know absolutlely nothing about options so I can't answer your other question... Adel,

Blog:I'm leaning in the direction of going with another platform, then I can have pages of just Trade Journals,Trades,Market Commentary, etc... Thanks for the advice,much appreciated. Thanks Mike,

As for the blog, I think there are ways to add categories to Blogspot sites but they're probably pretty involved. For searching you could get Google's tool which will allow people to just search your site. The better option would be to go with a different blog platform that has all that stuff built in! :-) Oh yeah, I knew I saw NEW somewhere recently!
