Yup, another day, another 100% in options day trading…(9/6/2023)
THE SIMPLE STRATEGY
They say buying options is a “fool’s game” and day trading options is impossible. So let’s say right off — they are wrong about that.
TRADES are based on this simple day-trading strategy to be on the long side of the calls and puts for day trades; and referenced in this story — I told a guy how to make 100% day trading options and I doubt he believes me.
The open signal is clear and truly simple.
If the call options are above their open, buy those; if the put options are above their open, buy those.
That’s it, but use a stop-loss to control risk.
After an initial loss, today’s SPY 450PUT cleared the loss and locked the 100% gain with a 120% gain. when I posted this on X(Twitter):
It peaked at up 150% but faded into close for only a 42% gain.
