This is the gains I made this week from my degenerate gambling options. However, last week I actually made about twice this so this would be a moderate week.
From 9:40 - 10:10AM EST. This is from scalping the intraday / morning moves. I use aggregate data from the market to gauge volatility, check for pending market reports and watch the charts for the first 10 minutes and using standard pattern will enter a trade.
This morning I went in 35 contracts right at 1.74 and started exiting around 2.13 and completed last exit at 2.60.
Another successful day. I spent a few years chasing tickers for intraday massive gains and then I stumbled on spy late last year and spent the first couple months getting a feel for the general movement and of course observing the catalyst throughout the day such as jobs, reports, fomc, Trump things like that. And now I basically spend the first 90 minutes of the day trading on momentum and news. It can be stressful. There are drawdowns but if I treat it like a job that requires absolute attention to detail and I monitoring my trades and not let them go. This is the result.
