Someone called Zed Monopoly has produced a lot of Youtube videos. He is from London and has been daytrading a couple years. He claims to have quit his day job and is now very profitable. This video explains his simple strategy of daytrading:
So he's trading earnings reports of well known Nasdaq companies. He buys the stock during pre-market that he feels will break out positively at the open. He only holds the stock for at most 5 to 10 minutes and then closes the trade out. I think he buys the stock outright in large volumes because he can afford it. Because I only have a small amount I was thinking of trying his strategy on robinhood.com with options. I know RobinHood gives you a recommendation of which option to buy for short term trading. Could anyone tell me if that would be best for me with this strategy or I should pick my own, and if so the best date to use and in the money or out of the money? Thanks.
