Banking with Planning

My original thesis of 403.70 would hold for more consolidation was wrong, so when that level broke on volume, I started Planning.

List of Steps to Plan the 1000% gain trade

Step 1

Identify where might it go.... Using the levels from Daily Market Edge (our watchlist), we target $398.50 (the lower blue line)

Step 2

Select a contract.  We chose 401 since if it gets to $398.50, the contracts will be worth $2.50

Step 3

Where do I enter?   I planned that $403.70 level will be retested before going lower and if it gets there the option price would hit $0.20. (from experience and charting the option contract)

Ask yourself, are you willing to risk 0.20 or 100% for $2.00+ gain if right?


If YES: then place the order to fill at 0.20,  If $1000 bet. buy 50 contracts.

Exit Strategies:

Ok so now that we are in, there are many exit strategies one can take.  I'll share two.

Strategy :  All or Nothing

Place sell orders at $2.20-$2.50.  The contracts will either hit target price or you lose the $1000.  At 2.20-2.50, the profit will be $10,000-$11,000 using $1000 in capital.

Strategy :  Risk Free and then Ride to Target

Place sell orders at $0.80 and $2.20-$2.50.  

Sell 20 contracts at 0.80 to lock in $1200 profit, and make the trade risk free( even if goes to 0, walk away with $600 profit).  Place  order to sell at 2.20-2.50 on the remaining contracts -- the profit will be $7200+ using $1000 in capital.
(I prefer this strategy because the trade is stress free and you can let it work.

SPECTRE

I suck at looking at candles and profit and loss and often end up exiting too soon.  So depending on the idea, the best thing I can do is place stop and profit orders and then walk away.  LITERALLY WALK AWAY.  Go watch a movie, do anything but screw up my trade plan.
