thanks for the input do you have a link to the work using the "scalping the noise using options in high volatile stocks such as AAPL, TSLA, GOOG" or have the "someones" name? and you did say occasional big drawdown...so what type of exit strategy would you implement to avoid or minimize this?

Daily target goals are more of a structured way of saying im getting out. I am aware that you should let profits run etc but that to me is alot of guess work. If i let this call option run I would have seen an estimated 5 point move in my favor. or roughly 20-25% ROI give or take obviously. now...

you could lose money if the stocks turns against you at any point in time if i'm not mistaken? so with that logic any amount used is at risk.

I didn't trade yesterday because I had business meetings in the AM 10-9-15 trade got in at 218.96 at 9:39:14 (all 3 TI appeared) for 5.65 (call) set this one at a 4% ROI and was out at 9:42:31, 219.89- sold at 5.9. only a .93 movement.

im no wordsmith thats for sure. yes consistency is key and i agree 3% is conservative. but I know the strategy is risky and that's why I would rather get what I can get and be out. what I will try to do is sell lots of options at certain % breaks 2-3-4-5 etc. this way I can take some profit if...

To be perfectly fair, there are both random and non-random aspects in the financial markets. Stocks sometimes trend and react well to patterns or indicators. Stocks sometimes trade choppy and ignore pattern setups or indicator signals. It is the job of the trader to differentiate, traders must...

A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street, presents a number of tests and studies that reportedly support the view that there are trends in the stock market and that the stock market is somewhat predictable.

are you referring to Random Walk Theory?

so if not patterns + indicators then what else is there? patterns are based on people and people make up the market.

50% of total capital and 25% of that 50% per trade. so if your account is 10k your only going to trade $1250 and only at max 3 trades at one time. so really its risking 12.5% to make 3-6% because 100k is good number for me at the current moment I can live off of that by trading 10 times per...

I have been doing and in the example above it was successful i have done it 20 times now and as of right now winning. I cwanted to see if anyone had any input to make it better or learn something new or to test it with software in simulations.

I would never go above 100k in my options trading account and even then I follow a rule of 50% of trading account at risk and no more than 25% of that at risk in any given trade. so the risk of blowing up a position is not a concern. Im not looking to make 1-5 trades a day. Im looking for a 3-6%...
