Swing Options Blog plus Today's Day Trades

The new options blog starts tomorrow.  Check it out if you are interested in longer term trades between a day and a month and if you don't want to or cannot sit in front of your computer all day. There is a link to the right.


This blog will continue as usual.


Here are two DAX trades from today. One outside in, the second inside out. These are my two bread and butter trades.

    Why are you not trading the pullbacks anymore? It looks like you are taking a reversion with only one or two entries now?

      Hi Tyler, I am trading the pullbacks. The second trade is exactly that. The first trade is an outside in. The pullback trade is the first pullback after the trend change. This trade can give you the longest ride. I don't show in the blog all the trades I make. I try and pick the ones I think will be most useful so readers can use them as identification for their own trade pictures.

    Tom, appreciate the options blog. Can you also provide in that blog some direction for long term trading for students who do not trade options or who have accounts that do not allow options trading. I think it will be very valuable and for you it will not be that cumbersome.

      Anon 21:18 I use options for longer term trading because the stop loss on trading the underlying has to be too large. With options, it's all about the risk control and return on investment. You will see the direction I am hoping for in the option trade but I definitely do NOT advocate that people trade the underlying based on that because the win rate and losses will be completely different.
