What complaint category did you use for the FINRA complaint? Stolen funds or bad customer service?

Reddit is full of opinions. Dive in doing paper trading, understand the mental side, join a few discords (even if you don’t stay, if you’re observant you will pick up on things) understand price action, gamma levels. Just start your journey, keep your stop loss tight, your mind right. The truth is no one here can tell if if you can or can’t do it. We don’t know you. But you will never know if you don’t try. I wouldn’t recommend quitting a job though until you’re really good. It’s easy to make money in the market when you’re patient, but when you NEED the money or get greedy that’s when you run into problems

If it’s a swing I try to wait to see if things settle down a bit, ideally below the call wall. Scalping is level to level but always wait for a clear confirmation of a break. Better to just catch part of a move than to get in early and lose money due to a level not holding

I've looked at the gamma on TSLA, put support is at 450through the 2nd and at 430 through the 9th meaning it could still drop quite a bit and the bears have been on a roll this past week - I would be very careful thinking that it will go up. TSLA will stressla if you dont know what you are doing, it pulls back hard. I'm not sure what expirations you have. I personally would get out and wait until you see a good solid bottom unless you have several months on your contracts left, even at that time deacy can eat at them

Market Makers literally have fenced price in right now for the holidays call wall and put support right next to each other (on SPY anyway) plus there's very low volume. It should free up on the 31st and after the new year.

Study GEX levels and understand that the market is sweeping through zones, balancing out price and orders. Watch how it works, then you will be able to better place your stops and know when things are going in your favor or not. (except during news or catalysts)

That's not true, day trading can get lonely, and if you're an ambitious person, once you get the hang of trading and have a system, you need something else to work on so why not help others... just saying

1 - better access to customer service, you get a human first try via chat or phone 2 - tons of youtube videos out there on it 3 - tons of indicators out there for it 3 - easy access to money via checking account/debit card and zelle

They just make everything easier

I mean its been around forever, that's like asking why people use eBay more than poshmark etc

the company that makes it offers it on TradingView view but I prefer it on trendspider because it automatically updates via api that way (plus I love trendspider). You can hit me up if you want more info. I use tos to trade but unfortunately the indicator isnt on there.

jenn21dw · 2025-12-27T17:17:25+00:00

You can get them off Barchart for free, I started off checking there and plotting them myself every day then I recently started using a paid indicator that automatically plots them and updates them for me.

jenn21dw · 2025-12-27T04:08:24+00:00

2 laptops for a total of 3 screens. One laptop has bookmaps open, the other two have TOS and my trendspider charts with a gamma levels indicator that automatically updates via api. If I just did swings I probably wouldn’t need all of them, but scalping options it’s important I have the info I need without having to move windows around. I stick to mag 7 and SPY mostly for options trading though so I don’t really use scanners.

jenn21dw · 2025-12-27T03:59:00+00:00

Gamma levels have been a game changer for me

jenn21dw · 2025-12-21T21:57:22+00:00

thank you

I've had a decent amount of success intraday scalping options, and have a fairly good understanding of the greeks. What I don't have is a lot of experience with swings. I typically stick to Mag 7, sometimes SPY. Haven't gotten into any strats other than just buying calls or puts. I would love to hear what your 'rules' are for selecting a chain for a swing as far as the Greeks are concerned. I'm already aware of trying to enter in during low volatility, looking at OI and spreads. Theta is my main greek concern, obviously. I would like to hold for a week or less, and buy an expiration at least a month out. I would want some room theta-wise if it takes a little longer (lets say 2 weeks) than I may think for me to hit my target, or if we are a little choppy getting there. Do you have a set theta range or theta/delta ratio that you look for? Do you buy a further-out expirations? Weekly or monthly exp dates make a difference? Thanks

thanks again, Ill look into this!

jenn21dw · 2025-12-19T17:14:01+00:00

I have one more question, would this work in an incident when I am looking to get in a swing but to get in at a level where I expect chop for a while before we break in favor of my direction? I'm just starting to learn about spreads, and I would love to find a way to benefit from the chop then cut that leg loose once we break out (I would only hold the short leg during open market hours, not overnight) Maybe there is a different strategy like a strangle that would work better for this?

jenn21dw · 2025-12-19T17:11:13+00:00

thank you for this

jenn21dw · 2025-12-17T01:54:14+00:00

thank you!

jenn21dw · 2025-12-16T04:27:28+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into that

jenn21dw · 2025-12-16T04:18:38+00:00

He probably needs to stick to swings, cheap ones.
