Say you want to buy up to 400 shares of BABA in the current $130 range to $100. How do you implement an option wheel strategy in the meantime to make some extra cash while waiting for a $10 stock gain? Buy 100 shares@$130, sell 1 monthly call contract@$140 & sell 1 monthly put contract @$120...

Practice this test first. If you can't pass it with a 10% edge, do not start trading. https://gamesfortraders.com/coin-challenge/

Agreed. Even a ponzi-like scheme does not do this. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/22/ethereum-price-crash-10-cents-gdax-exchange-after-multimillion-dollar-trade.html

Wise choice. But the temptation to be like this trader is always there.

No.

Noobs tend to confuse trading with investing. For investors, they believe in "staying" in the market and holding their positions. For short term traders, volatility risk/timing are most important.

Yes, if VIX stays > 25. My trades are mostly on the long side. Remember Buffet's rule #1 "Losing money is more detrimental than not making a profit."

Just enjoy trading like gaming entertainment. Nobody cares about your trading skills/strategies even it can perform as well as mine. (I only trade stocks.No margin leverage/derivatives/fx/crypto). Avoid trading in Feb,Mar,Aug,Sep,Oct.

Great imagination but real traders usually only have time to backtest whole systems just to filter out what does not work. Backtesting may not really tell what actually will work. You need some time to forward test it as well. To breakdown so many components to backtest is a fantasy.

Say you enter a long position at some arbitrary level. Then you set a trailing stop to be triggered after +100 points and a stop loss at -100 points from entry level. However, the price went up to +80 points and then decline back to near breakeven level. What would you do now?

Sounds like a variable change-Monty Hall question on the part of the player/trader in which case reactionary would be better. But the real question is does the market maker know ahead what is his next move in making the price up or down? If he does not know, then it becomes a Monty Fall scenario...
