Thanks these are great tips. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind: 4. Always keep TIGHT STOPS How do you manage to keep stops tight but avoid getting stopped out to often? 11. Trade wide range clean charts vs choppy fuzzy low odds charts What do you mean by wide range clean...

"Use a weekly or daily chart. then buy the puts with delta and some time value. " Thanks for this. I sort of understand what you are saying but could you please expand on this? Are you using a weekly chart to see if a top retest fails and retraces back down? After that you buy a long dated put...

Ok thanks. If the underlying didn't get to your strike price then you can still profit using vertical spreads? By the way, been following your site for a while, great educational content there!

Why a call vertical rather than a straight call?

One minute time frame! Many people say that is just noise but really interested to know how you trade it. Do you trade the 1 minute on the direction of the daily or weekly trend? Thanks.

So if the daily and weekly trend was up you would trade down if the 1 hour chart was down?

Great post. Closing above the 20 day SMA is a good indicator.

The chart examples show poor sell points. I think the trick is to only buy the dip when the instrument is in a clear uptrend and to avoid selling?

Do you just buy call and put options for your directional bets?

Good points. For a newbie starting out in options would you say that spreads are the best way to go rather than just being long?

I think the trick might be in assessing what fair value is...

Thanks. The thing is, with $50k, using a modest 5x leverage you could trade 2 emini contracts. From what I understand it's very possible to make a living day trading 2 contracts. Or am I missing something here?

Good points but l think that most of us won't have $1 million in stocks..

That's interesting, what moving averages do you use? Thanks.

Thanks, I thought that $50k was more than adequate to trade ES. And you are right, there are more than enough people here telling all and sundry about what they can't do.

Do you mind sharing the bare bones of your strategy? Thanks.

Why do your say that it's easier than you think? Most people say it's very hard, harder than swing trading?

You can't trade the ES with a $50,000 account??
