Please note that Options trading is extremely risky and can be mentally, emotionally and financially draining (its a casino). Trying something like this you have to go in already accepting that you've lost the $1,000, this is my mind state. Although I'll be cautious and respect my trading rules as strictly as I can.


good luck .keep risk to % per trade.

When you have mastered all the aspects of trading , you will be qualified and ready to find the holy grail .At the moment it is all uncertain ,later it can become reality

All these subjects on psychology , stress , emotions , t/a , p/a , trends , trend failures, indicators and others are important aspects of the trading.
This is total BS... if you have no experience, then any dabble in the markets in any product is a casino... But you say you have experience, so if you think it's gambling and merely a casino you're obviously doing it wrong...

Options trading initially is a risk management tool.

Thank you for sharing

I want to learn a little for my knowledge .Yoo can give general answers

Do you use a scanner to select stocks?Is your trade selection based on technical analysis , price action or trends?Do you buy atm calls and puts?Are you using weekly options ?How much % of your account , do you risk per trade?Have you done historical studies of probabilities on the instruments ?

Are indices /futures aligned with your stock trade , at time of entry?Are sectors aligned at time of entry?
Hi,

I try to buy in the money calls/puts, but when I was starting out with the $500 I had to take a few out of the money risky plays.

Now that I have some real ammunition I will mostly stick to in the money plays. I play the SPY a lot as well as a few blue chips like AMZN, NFLX, TSLA ect...

I rely more on instinct and money flow for my entries, I look at call/put volume and wait for perfect timing.

I don't trade for the first hour.

I mostly trade momentum and reversal plays.

When I trade the SPY I look for support and resistance areas and trade strictly off of that.

With the smaller account I was going all in on any single trade now that I have more to play with Ive cut it down to around $500-1000 per trade, so anywhere from 25% to 50% of my current account value in any one single trade. But as I go up in net worth these entry amounts won't change as far as $ figures go.

I usually only trade weeklies.

The SPY rules all of my trades, I base all of my entries in any stocks based on its movement regarding a bullish or bearish stance.
 
Your time for trading is now over. Now your time for teaching seminars and publishing books begin. "How to make 400% returns in a month" Start your typewriter and get out there and teach + make tons of money. :)
 
What happened to your $1000 you started with?
Got it up to around 6k in about 2 weeks and then took some out and lost the rest. I've traded in between but starting this thread off with just 2k
