Need help finding a way to trade with a 1/100 (risk/reward)

You missed the opportunities earlier this year. It was in futures on trade tweets. Instant millionaire shit.

May 5th, and Aug 1st. With 10K and a discount broker? Short the shit on max leverage with 20 contracts. Close before end of day. Next day repeat at max leverage. It would have taken just a few days to get to 1,000,000.

The problem is, by going max leverage, you never knew when it would have reversed and wiped out all your gains.

But if you REALLY want a million? Do this...

Put $100K in an account. Next time there is a breakdown in the trade talks, and Trump says "we're going tariff-crazy, hear me roar"? Short it on 200 contracts that day. There's your million bux. Mostly.

Use caution, but the volume will be there to give your fills.

Aside from that, why don't you come down to reality and understand that you will NEVER do this, SHOULD NEVER attempt this, and should just play it safe with REASONABLE targets?

I don't know how you call it in america, but in europe we have no 'subsequent payment obligation' on CFD trading (negative balancy protection).
That means, if I perform a trade on highest leverage, and the trade goes against me, I can only lose the money that I paid to the brokers account.
He cannot sue me for a more negative performance on my account (for ex. after a huge gap).

This way, it is looks very pleasant to try max. trades with 100-1k on the account.

I can send you a few signals and if you like them you can place a trade in the FX market. You can fully levelage that trade at 100/1 and pay me $50k at the end of the trading week. I'm serious, I have an edge that I'll let you exploit for one week.

Could someone please point me to a relatively safe trade with a 1/100 Risk Reward.
For example, I'm willing to risk all of $10k (and lose it all) in order to potentially make 100 times of it which is $1 million.

I'm not looking for a trade, but a way to best make the trade. That is, using which instrument: options, futures, stocks, pairs, forex, options on futures, etc.

I'm guessing options would be the way to do this, but which option strategy is most likely to potentially provide what I'm looking for? E.g., spreads, iron condors, butterflys, etc. I really don't know much about options, except straight calls and puts.

Some parameters on the trade I want to make, which might help you in answering my question:
I plan to make a short trade, in a fast downward movement environment with increasing volatility.
I will be looking to stay in the trade for about 250 days (I will exit the trade after ~250 days).

Well, actually, while you're at it, if you could tell me what exactly would potentially have the best chance to provide a 1/100 risk/reward in the scenario outlined above: /ES, TVIX, /GC, etc.

Thank you!

you made 2 blunders

1 mistake - how did such an idea come to your mind?
2 mistake - the place of implementation of this idea

It is here that in just 250 hours and not days, you are guaranteed to lose all your money
 
Buy OTM weekly SPY options. Lose it all and join WSB to talk about your loss, or win a lot and rinse and repeat until you lose it all and then join WSB. Stay there until you have no capital left and learn phrases like "paper or plastic".

Yeah, but Tesla. How is that working out for Californians, who keep having their power cut off from the forest fires? Tough to charge your car to flee the encroaching fires when PSEG doesn't provide you with the power you need to charge your vehicle to flee the fires their high-tension lines caused in the first place.

Go go fossil fuels!

Down here in Florida we (the state), years back, mandated backup diesel generators to keep gas station pumps working when the next hurricane hits. So unless Cali did the same power off means no fossil fuels either. "Feets don't fail me now".

If you understand option pricing its pretty simple to find. Just find options with a delta of .01 and a trade idea/anticipation that sends it to a delta of 1~, and if successful you give or take just did around a 100x return.

I would rather all the gamblers come to the Options market to place their bets than visiting the Casino.

1. They add liquidity even if for a short while
2. The counter party gets to benefit rather than the casino keeping the profit. It could be us traders on the other end
3. They have more control over their winning chances (even if slight) for a potentially higher leverage than the Casino
