    I would like to know the practical aspect of trading options strategy intraday.

    If suppose I am looking for 20 tick sl for probable move of 30-40 tick dirction which is the the best option strategy to go for if margin or expenses are not the issue? (Better risk reward )

    1.Bull/Bear spread , Ratio Spread or Butterfly

    2. How does the effect of weekly options as compare to monthly expiration cycle.

    Thanks
     
  2. Definitely not a best practice, but I scalp the $VIX all the time. It moves up and down so much its cake grabbing 20-30 points in a short time frame (an hour or two).
