Crushin it! https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-if-you-want-to-be-a-day-trader.382924/page-5 ...round 2? 2k lol
I've been trading my personal account. That last 30 minutes was something else. And I didn't swing it either. Just a bunch of 1 lot trades. Took 6 to 8 points profit, waited for a four or five point bounce and sent it again lol.
Fck I lost on my 572, 573 puts bought 1h15 into the session when we traded at 576. SPY went back to 572 again then went up. Missed the TPs by a few cents. Bought a 584 call on the (nasty) EOD dip that expires tomorrow. Let’s see. We touched the 10 months sma today Trump better pump the market at congress. BREAKING: US Commerce Secretary Lutnick says Trump may roll back Canada and Mexico tariffs tomorrow
in futures % is irrelevant in risk management, 5% from 6.2k risks 1.5k more than 5% from 5.2k level per contract.
Good luck! Man, I did nothing but lose when I was trading options. Literally years of savings flushed down that $hitter. They inflate so quickly and then just as quickly the ballon pops. I never figured out how to make them work for me. I think that to really make money with them on a day to day basis you have to be a seller and not a buyer. But I don't really know. I just figured all that money I lost was made by the guy who sold them to me lol. Have you tried trading futures?
