Stock trading using options to leverage is still stock trading. Using strategies with the many variables is a different world. Good luck if people can pick stocks like that, they negate all the characteristics of options and use them as a voucher. I have never picked one winning stock, no idea where to start.
Scalping helps me to understand the market better. Also,Traders should consider scalping major currency pairs such as the EUR/USD. It really helps me to practice my trading skills.And I am also looking for some more good pairs.
I know a lot of people don't like Jack's arrogant attitude, but this is actually a pretty good strategy if you have some reliable losers you can track. Lately it's been hedge funds, or anyone HODLing......
They have one problem. The strat works only if YOU are not one of the morons. As you will no doubt agree, this eliminates the vast majority.
Counter trend and hedging...that sounds like a strategy that is constantly breaking even, getting nowhere. Hoping and praying and waiting for a deviation that may or may not happen on your timeframe plan. Not a very precise and maximum efficient use of time in the market. Pick a strategy, any strategy, Step right Up, Try your Luck....trading is like Carnival games....99.4% of the prospects will be failures.
