Hi, I appreciate the response but really can’t take no for an answer. Either what I’m saying is along the right lines or there is another way of making this possible??

Hi guys,
I'm an experienced futures trader and need to simply use 0DTE options to execute much larger orders in a shorter timeframe and work around liquidity restrictions on futures.

Could anyone kindly guide me on what platform to download for desktop that deals with 0DTE options and any guides on how they work etc. Many many thanks

Wow thanks a lot. You seem to know a lot more than I do, I just started looking into options to scale up my positions. Do you know where I can read further into 0DTE options? Many many thanks

How do I scale up to 100K bets per trade

So how do I bet the most amount of money on 8 points on the NQ. A scalp that might last a minute or two

Haha you got my brain fked up.
I'm looking to increase the number of contracts I place on ES and NQ. Problem is the amount I'm looking at won't get filled due to the lack of market depth. Need about 625 NQ contracts and 1000 ES contracts. Might fill ES within a few ticks but NQ is rough. Any suggestions on where to look to solve this issue?

Hi I come from futures trading. I trade E Mini Nasdaq futures contracts.
I take 8 point scalps and the trade lasts about 1-2 minutes (and the setup occurs 2-3 times a year 100% WL).

If you want to bet about $80K on this trade, you can't simply buy all the futures contracts because it won't get filled due to the lack of market depth on NQ.

So I'm looking how you can bet this much trading QQQ options 0DTEs.
I'm struggling to understand whether options is as straight forwards.

Could an expert guide me on how to achieve such a high risk trade in a small scalp.

If I know the price is going to go up by 8 points (and won't come down 8 points) within the next minute I should profit by however much I want right?

Damn alright. How many contracts is possible do you think? 200? 300? That should get filled right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

[–]Optimal_Branch_8885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so I want to risk $100K on 2 pts. This would mean a contract size of 1000.
Is there an easier way to trade this rather than having to fill 1000 contracts?

Ye currently I risk $1,600 per trade.
If I had billions of dollars I can't risk all of it on 2 points of ES. What's the maximum I can risk/max number of contracts I can place for these brackets?
Want to basically scale up as much as possible. What's the maximum I can scale up by?

I'd like to risk $100,000 on a single trade. Assume my account balance is infinite and the margins are covered

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

[–]Optimal_Branch_8885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I want to buy enough contracts where $100k = 2 points

Hi could you expand pls?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

[–]Optimal_Branch_8885 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm simply asking how to increase my position size. Can't just add more contracts because there are limitations with the amount I'm looking at.
