Hi asx,

How many trades.? I assume you mean how many purchased and sold etc..Who cares...i LEAD, not follow.To me i never look at how many trades on a warrant or what others are doing. I do what i want and trade my style, my way and if i am the only one who buys from the market maker, well that be it.
I analyse a stock and make my own decisions....irrelevant on how many trades are on a warrant etc.. I then select the best warrant either a PUT or a CALL and trade, when i feel it is the time to enter...no matter what others are doing...etc.

Also you are mainly trading with the market maker and there spread....he always has to be a buyer but not a seller. As long as he is there to buy it from me i don't care if others have or not.
Most times i notice that traders move into a warrant AFTER the move from the bottom..like 1 or 2 days later, waiting for a clear move up and then jump on. I don't, i pick it 1 or 2 days before and anticpate the move in advance...therefore taking a bigger risk,but greater rewards.There are many times i see warrants ready to move and NOBODY is even trading it or bidding etc...yet i am the only one with a bid on.

Take care.

Cheers,

MINOTAUR.
