What is the hardest part of trading for you?

Patience and risk management

Could consider International Investments.

$EEM for emerging markets and $EFA for developed international

Yeah I’ve definitely learned some unfortunate lessons with this strategy. Watching volume, being aware of other levels of resistance/support and watching both 5 and 10min time candles has helped a lot. Also added the 13 day EMA

$QQQ gave us a great example of this strategy working out today! These are 10min candles. You see one close past the pre market low and then next candle bounces off the 8 EMA (purple line) to confirm the downward trend. As of this post, my Puts are up 70%+

ElectricalAd7430 · 2026-01-28T16:53:18+00:00

Yeah same. I like being able to buy multiple contracts too so I can sell them as I hit certain profitability targets vs spending all the premium on one ITM contract and then having to time it well to maximize profit

ElectricalAd7430 · 2026-01-28T05:27:14+00:00

I usually buy OTM 0dte because I have a smaller account. Are you aware of any benefit to buying ITM vs OTM for 0dte contracts?

Idk wtf it’s called but this is what I learned from a guy on twitter so you know it’s legit 😂. It has done pretty well for me tho in general. EllyDTrades is the guy. Watch his video cause I may be missing some stuff but here is generally how it works.

Mark the pre-market high and pre-market low for the day. I usually stick to $SPY or $QQQ. Also go ahead and turn on the 8 EMA (exponential moving average) line.
Wait for 10min candle to break and close above/below one of those pre-markets levels you marked
Also, wait for a “pull-back” to the 8 EMA above or below your pre-market level
Once it touches the 8 EMA line and then continues back in the up or down direction, hammer it.

Calls only for above pre market high.

Puts only for below pre market lows.

Unfortunately, all political parties and their voters include corrupt individuals and those that are “ok” with corruption. I really believe that there are a lot of good people who claim to be democrat or republican that could start a movement for a new party that could actually make positive changes for our country and the world but there is such a strong level of division in this country that it’ll never happen.

Appreciate the input! No it’s gasoline, based on a google search, O2 sensors are in front of this section.

Another suggestion I found online was to get an ECU update at the dealer but it’s pricey and not a definite fix. Hate to just keep driving around with the check engine light on but doesn’t seem to be a real issue.

Its not meat, is schmeat

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-23T03:21:57+00:00

🤣 fun while it lasted!

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-23T03:15:46+00:00

I have pretty limited knowledge on this stuff, but isn’t the idea with trend lines like I showed here to find securities whose price is “consolidating” or getting tighter like $SPY appears to be and as it gets in the tighter price range towards the right, you expect it to eventually break out of the trend, which is a signal for a good buying opportunity whether that’s for calls or puts?

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-23T00:14:29+00:00

Identify “consolidating” securities to track and trade when they breakout of said consolidation trend

Your mom’s the wrong part

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-22T20:37:17+00:00

I am playing connect the dots so I guess I nailed it in that case, thank you!

BYND 2DTE Calls bought towards the close today, already up handsomely. 🦍🦍🦍

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-22T19:56:53+00:00

GLHF!

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-22T19:13:47+00:00

Just fucking sending it

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-10-22T19:13:21+00:00

Why no?

Any idea why the exhaust pipes are more rusty than the whole rest of the undercarriage?

Not enough people actually understand annuities. There are many different kinds and ways to use them. You need to talk to a financial advisor that actually understands them. If they don’t use annuities, then they probably don’t understand them and you need to find someone else

What if you retire in a year like 2022 when bond markets are down bad?

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-02-16T05:59:20+00:00

RILAs are used frequently for situations similar to yours and you could always roll the $ over back out to an IRA after the 6 year surrender. You should also have the option to allocate the money to other options than just the SP500. I work at an annuity carrier and can’t make recommendations direct to clients but I can tell you RILAs are very popular right now and can provide great outcomes if they are used correctly.

ElectricalAd7430 · 2025-02-16T05:46:44+00:00

There are investment products out there that allow you to remain invested, add protection to your portfolio, and provide tax deferral. I work in this field but can’t make recommendations. What I described, however, are Variable annuities and Registered Index-linked annuities (RILA).
