I'm thinking I may do vertical option spreads on the S&P. I'm 2019, the S&P went up 33 weeks and down 19 weeks. That's a 63% win percentage.
Exactly! That's why you automate. Unless you're a 40 year vet and you have some serious skin in the game, you're not going to respect the discipline it takes to make it. I have that problem too. I can't manually trade so i let a machine do it for me.
Well I'm trying to back test the first indicator combo I was thinking of. I realized it wasn't possible unless I'm actively watching charts regularly. I can't do that. I have other priorities. But that doesn't stop me from back testing, I suppose.
You need to stop being so focused on making quick money and take the time to learn. No one here is going to spoon feed you for free. We will point you in the right direction and I'll even help build you a bot if you can achieve a profitable paper trading strategy.
You never answered my question about starting with $300k in an account. What would you have 12 months later.
That's hard to answer. I trade Forex not options so i have huge leverage 50/1 but I'd only use about 20/1 of it. Starting out small with 0.06 lots, 40/60 pips per trade and around 350 trades a year per fx pair. It depends on the market really. I'd also compound future orders.
