Possibly the ultimate low risk, low outlay method of playing the options market.

This methodology is based on market-maker inertia. I noticed early in the piece that market makers in general were not right on the ball and in many instances lagged behind the market. I considered this to be psychologically advantageous......if I could figure a way to use it. And eventually I did exactly this. I based my options play on "way-out-of-the-money" contracts which were dead cheap. So I had little to lose but a lot to gain...and this is exactly what happened. The system worked brilliantly and better still it seemed that nobody anywhere had picked up on it. I even incorporated a form of "insurance" so that even if the market went the wrong way (and it sometimes did) I would lose very little. I only ever invested $1000 - $2000 at any one time as I treated the whole thing as a hobby but still made a "living wage" out of it. The best result I ever had was a $12,000 return for a $1500 outlay over a 3 day period. I eventually gave up on it all when I got remarried and my new wife objected strongly to my getting out of bed at 4am each weekday to check the American markets! Also as editor of the Australian Lateral Thinking Newsletter I had an increasing workload and I needed all my mental energies for this outside-the-box thinking. I strongly suspect that in the right hands this unique methodology could produce considerable financial windfalls. When I first started playing options many years ago I puchased a batch of "hot shot" trading systems that were "guaranteed" to make me wealthy. One of them cost me $7,500. It was a disaster. Overall I spent around $13,000 on these various systems. They were all a total waste of money. This volatility method I evolved will only cost you the price of a Starbucks coffee....so what have you really got to lose?

可能是最终的低风险，低支出的方法玩期权市场。
这种方法基于做市商惯性。我在文章的早期就注意到，做市商总体上并不在行，在许多情况下都落后于市场。我认为这在心理上是有利的……如果我能想出一个方法来使用它的话。最终我做到了。我把我的选择权建立在“挣钱的方法”合同上，这些合同非常便宜。所以我没有什么损失，但有很多收获…这正是发生了什么。这个系统运行得非常出色，而且更好，似乎任何地方都没有人注意到它。我甚至还加入了一种“保险”的形式，这样即使市场走错了方向（有时也会走错），我的损失也很小。我在任何时候只投资过1000-2000美元，因为我把整件事当作一种爱好，但仍然从中赚取“生活工资”。我所得到的最好的结果是在三天的时间里用1500美元的支出换来12000美元的回报。当我再婚时，我最终放弃了这一切，我的新婚妻子强烈反对我在每个工作日凌晨4点起床查看美国市场！同时作为澳大利亚横向思维通讯的编辑，我的工作量越来越大，我需要我所有的精力来进行这种跳出框框的思维。我强烈怀疑，在正确的人手中，这种独特的方法可能会产生可观的财政意外之财。很多年前，当我第一次开始玩期权时，我已经推出了一批“热门”交易系统，它们“保证”让我变得富有。其中一个花了我7500美元。真是一场灾难。总的来说，我花了13000美元在这些不同的系统上。他们完全是在浪费钱。我发明的这种波动性方法只会让你损失星巴克咖啡的价格……那么你到底会损失什么呢？
