Thank you guys for your help! Especially to those encouraging and providing advice for executing my idea. But I also appreciate those shooting down my plan, I understand where you're coming from too.

Hunt for Black Swan events. If you owned DXCM options yesterday, you could be looking at a huge gain today. If you have a method, the odds are much better than playing roulette. :D
 
Any call has a MAX risk/reward = premium paid/infinity.

With that said, can't think of many, if any, options trades I've ever seen that didn't have a TRUE risk/reward ratio of 1:1.

Otherwise, why the fuck would anyone take the other side.

MMs don't care about a side or direction. Their position is fully hedged.

Do some google-fu and you can find the appropriate thinkscript code.Create a column on your watch list and use that code, and you should end up with something like this.

The key to big trades. High RVOL + High TrueRange

TBH, if your plan is to throw 10k into a single trade, you will most likely lose. I would at least split that into 4ths.

Can't find it, maybe you gotta buy it?

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!

Sadly, if we know the answer to that we wouldn't be hanging out here reading this...
