Will you do it on an intraday chart for the last 80 days?

I already posted a technique using RSI https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/rsi-system.324081/

Now, does the trick lay in factoring how options traders calculate volatility? Might this be used to determine stock market volatility and know whether to trend trade or short range limits?

Your other posts aren't written like that.

Like why would you do this instead of just buying the stock?

Can you describe it in such a way that someone who doesn't know a lot about options would learn from you? To my knowledge, options are like stocks except you are able to do two things: Use tons of leverage. Make money by betting on volatility. However I feel like this iron condor is the...

Then I see this picture: That looks like a terrible risk reward. Barely any potential profit, and if price moves anywhere at all you lose money. How does this fit into a trading plan? You are certain the stock isn't going to change? Makes no sense.

Hedging concept: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/martingale-system-in-trading.146187/page-2#post-2196097

So when price is above all 3 you have 3 open, if price drops below the 50 you sell one and proceed with 2 open.

Create a chart with 200, 100, and 50 moving averages. If price is above the 200, buy one contract. If price is above the 100 and the 200, buy 2 contracts. If price is above the 50, 100 and 200, buy 3 contracts.

The type of trading described here!https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/martingale-system-in-trading.146187/page-2#post-2196097 We trade ES futures using a 5 step hybrid martigale system hedged with options. In essence its a 54 contract trade that scales in and out averaging down costs to...

Will it count as a pullback if it goes against you before that makes a profit? So if you add, price goes against you, and you add more, does that look like a pullback?

What about using a hard stop and averaging down? Imagine you have a hard stop of 20 points and you add more every 5. So if price goes against you the full way, you'll have a $400 loss instead of $100. But, if price goes against you 5 and then goes in your direction 20 above original entry...

With which of those 5 do you make money?

You are thinking the numbers are going from 1 to 5000. If you knew that, then yes, you would turn the next card. But you don't.

How does standard deviation of random walk really make a difference?

Now, I think you are getting into the area that a lot of traders get into as they say that if price goes up a certain amount it's going to keep going up. Yes, RSI can give high levels when price is rallying. Although it can nevertheless give high levels when price is going to reverse, most...

Yes, for situations where the 5000 numbers have no limit. You don't know what the highest and lowest numbers are. You are assuming the numbers start at 1 and are all positive integers.

I think scaling in would be better because if price goes in your favor eventually you'd have a better average. THIS IS PROBABLY WRONG (just kidding). It would have a $640 loss every time your way. Need sort of a huge account. Scaling in could reduce the loss. BUT, it reduces winners if...

It does.
