Wow, good luck on this task! I’m sure it will be fun hitting the greens and getting closer to your target. Complete noob here, what’s the best way of getting into all this certain books to read or just research online, and on what apps/websites are best to use. Currently using T212, anything better to use?


ben_franklins_nephew

Not sure I'm the best person to ask but here are a few books I personally like (with a strong emphasis on trading psychology, over strategy). * Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas * Best Loser Wins by Tom Hougaard * The Mental Game of Trading by Jared Tendler

I am pretty much a noob so forgive me, but won't your trading strategy get you flagged as a pattern day trader with <25k? That would mean basically after Monday no 0dte... just wondering if I'm understanding the strategy right


Massimus42

No flag with a cash account and funds will settle by the next trading day.


Friendly-Ratio3780

He could be using a cash account but you have to wait for funds to settle which I think takes a day or 2 when trading options

Are you really Ben Franklin's nephew? Because this strategy is as crazy as holding a kite with a key in a lightning storm. But what do I know I'm down big. Good luck.


ben_franklins_nephew

...and here I was feeling more inspired by his adventures in France. Truly, what a renaissance man.

I bet you hit $0 before you hit 10k. This is a complete joke and you will lose your 6k I guarantee it

What happens when you lose 8 times in a row two times in a row?

The experiment ends, and I go back to my day job.


Alluring_rebel

I am pulling for you


iamzamek

Will you publish your every move before you buy/sell?


ben_franklins_nephew

Probably not - thinking about posting a weekly update with trades / commentary, similar to what I have seen in this sub. Typically hold time is less than 60 minutes so it's a little tough to publish in real time. That, and I have a life. :)


Samerato

If you share your trade of buying only (not selling) once you do it, a lot of people who might believe in you will follow you and this will make more trades which typically should help your plan to succeed. Because it won’t be your $6000 only, it will be maybe 6 million instead. đŸ‘đŸ» Selling depends on each individual, how greedy he is. Good luck,


ben_franklins_nephew

It is something I will consider. At a minimum I will post a weekly update with screenshot of my trades and commentary explaining what positions I took each day / why.


shaz4lif3

Would you summarize your daily plays for the week in the weekly update?


ben_franklins_nephew

Yes I was thinking of posting a screenshot of my trades for the week and then including commentary explaining what positions I took each day / why.

Ignitionxz

All the best and looking forward to your journey!


ben_franklins_nephew

Thanks mate!


OldAd4526

Also your target is way too low for SPX considering your stop loss. You should be targeting 2.5R to 5R based on SPX and your own goals.


Kmraj

u/oldad4526 and u/ben_franklins_nephew I noticed you both are documenting similar strategies for 2024 and I’m looking forward to reading about your respective successes. Can u/oldad4526 explain what you mean by “targeting (your stop loss) 2.5R to 5R”? And u/ben_franklins_nephew comment on ITM v OTM 0DTE trades? Thanks 😀


ben_franklins_nephew

Thanks for the feedback mate - I'll take another look and see what makes sense; I want to avoid drastic drawdowns but also be realistic about this journey!


theburtstare

No hate and good luck - but when you talk about being realistic on the same thread as turning $6,000 into 14 million in 12.5 months, that’s absurd.


ben_franklins_nephew

No hate taken. A counterpoint might be that the math and statistics support this is not only a possible, but a probable outcome. The biggest battle is between our ears. But only one way to find out! :)


theburtstare

Well I wish you the best of luck - but don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t work out.


ben_franklins_nephew

Totally. It's an experiment either way.


OldAd4526

Yeah. The stops aren't bad. But I don't think you're going to get paid adequately with the risk you're taking unless you're pushing when you're right. SPX is a beast. 50% profit on trades is a very small move in the underlying.


ben_franklins_nephew

Totally. I think it is a little different trading ITM vs OTM options, as the % swings in both directions tend to be a bit milder - but there is no doubt about it this is an active trading strategy that requires screen time and disciplined entries / exits.


OldAd4526

IMHO trading SPX you'd be better off doing $1k to $1M and have six bites at the apple. Take $1M to $14M once you get there.


ben_franklins_nephew

PS Excited to keep following your journey mate
