Hi Pin,

That is just one of many that may be used according to what you want to do.

If you have metastock the formula is:
pds:=21;
mult:=Input(“Width of Stop”,.1,10,4);
chandelier:=C-(mult*ATR(pds));
stop:=If(C<=PREV,chandelier,If(chandelier>PREV,chandelier,PREV));
Max(stop,Ref(stop,-1));

Many high earning Aussies have left our shores for countries with more favourable tax regimes.

Thanks for that Richard,

I’m still a little lost as to why party 2 would grant a put option.

If party two does not exersize the call, then presumably they do not want to proceed with the purchase. But alas, party one exersizes the put and party 2 ends up with property anyway.

Great post Mini!!

The difficult part of what you say is that most people don’t WANT to believe that sort of stuff….thats why they get away with it.

Very few of my friends, and none of my family (with the exception of my wife) believe it, so it is not often discussed.
