What to trade in this style

Stocks: Big, heavily traded stocks that move every day. Review the current price, entry conditions and risk before considering a same-day trade.
ETFs and index funds: SPY and QQQ for moves in the whole market. Leveraged ETFs move two or three times as fast, so the stop matters most there.
Options: Same-day calls and puts on SPX, the S&P 500 index, in and out the same session. Small size: an option can lose everything you paid for it.

Options, the way we use them

For day trades we use same-day SPX calls or puts, closed by 4:00 PM ET. You can lose all you pay.
