Stock buys were mostly made using CSE Advanced Charting techniques. However, I limit chooses to known stocks that I consider high quality. To date no TSS or special management techniques have been used in this account. My goal is not as aggressive as CSE pitches. My goal is a 2-3% cash flow per month and to try and minimize risk of account value decreasing by selling ITM calls (the majority of the time). To date, I have done better than the CFA/Broker. I am not overly concerned about account 2 value since I believe the stocks will recover in time.
