You got me thinking with this post and I went ahead and got me one of Apex's $150K options. Doing as you suggest, stop loss/take profit scalping of the NQ. Are you trading multiple accounts, or are you working just one, i.e. Apex?
Op also got me thinking of how much I hate trading and don't want to do it any more, but I can't help myself. It's too fun when it all works out, and I begin to forget all those humiliating events in the past. And then another one happens and I'm back to reloading my account, like the small trader I am. "Time to reload your account, small trader?" -emg, an old member on here that had some very discouraging words of wisdom, that I ignored!
