I must keep perspective. I'm young and have not been putting more money in my trading account. Just keeping what I have and trying to grow with that.

My trading/investor mentor right now is a senior retired neurologist who later went and got an MBA about the 30 yrs ago. He's in his mid 70s now. This guy is a whale. He swings trades like 5,000 shares of SQQQ/SPXS. He also has traded NVDA by 1,000 share lots.

I simply don't have that kind of money. So when he tells me he makes $10-15K or more in some days, I have to be mindful that I'm a minnow and he's a blue whale. He has multiple times made over $100K in a day in the past year. He rarely has a red day.

He's got 40 yrs experience. I've got one. That matters. I'm a better surgeon than an intern. Someone ten years senior to me is likely better than I am right now. Experience matters. Thanks for reminding me of this.

If you guys want, I have an idea for how to trade indexes exclusively with the triple leveraged ETS. I've been thinking about this strategy for a while, but I haven't applied it. I think it will work, though.

Are you familiar with the Brian Jones system? If not, it works. I think there is a day trade scalp method that will work and that everyone can follow along with me.

High level, you buy UPRO or SPY when RSI is oversold and/or 1) 1) when there is a 10 SMA cross on the 30 minute time frame or 2) a cross is highly likely by tracking RSI. Stop is the close of the prior bar. Stop moves up progressively to the close of the prior bar. You won't catch all the moves but I think this will work well.

I'm planning to try this with a couple hundred shares to get experience with it.

I'd appreciate it if this stayed here. It's not revolutionary but I don't want to get gamed at something I think can make us money.

So in for this!

Does this also work on TQQQ? I'm setting this up on a tradingview layout right now and plan to back test it a little bit on TQQQ, but was curious what you're thoughts were.

Also, it's the 10 crossing the 20 right?

I'm watching you guys blow up your accounts and that's bothering me. It will work with options but what I like about this is that you don't have to worry about the other variables: delta, theta, IV, expiration, premiums

Lemme ask you this…..with this market seemingly stuck between 4080-4180, pinned around 4115 or so, trading up and down daily can be taxing and wear out investors?

Do you think selling credit spreads is a good way to trade this range? Selling bear call spreads at the top and bull put spreads at the bottom?

What is gonna cause a break from this range? June FOMC? VIXperation?

The B Jones way is to buy on the 10/50 cross and then hold until it's overbought /at resistance, etc. I'm modifying for scalping.

July FOMC is probably what breaks it either way.

I think debit and credit spreads would have worked and can work. In normal times those are my bread and butter. But the price is so unpredictable right now.

Why July FOMC and not something sooner? Uncertain Fed reaction at that time? Current news all baked in?

Congressman Adam Schiff proposes new bill designed to lower gas prices and tax oil profits - ABC7 Los Angeles



Federal Gas Tax Suspension and Windfall Profits Tax Act (house.gov)

Keep your eye on this if you're in O&G stocks and industry. Schiff wants to tax O&G companies 50% of their profits.

Wow what a coincidence, they're going to have a huge increase in costs and have no profits next year
Time to spend for O&G!


Great way to further derail oil and gas investments and reduce supply. Thanks Congress

But the recovery was because we got over it and moved forward with real economic growth, right?



Nope. They started buying again

Adding on,...

XOM used a 40% tax rate for Q1 reporting versus the Q4 28% tax rate. Maybe they know/knew something everyone else did/does not. I wouldn't think a Windfall Tax on O&G would be possible. Moving forward,...if XOM continues with a 40% or 50% tax rate, earnings might signal $8/share. Couple that to a 12 PE, that would generally not allow for a $120 per share EOY number. Like ProgN states...keep an eye on your O&G stocks.

That's what i think. Chop at least. I just don't know how to tell when they start buying again. I'm buying as much stock as i can from here on out. I adjusted my 401k witholding to 80% so i can max it over the next few paychecks

Make sure you're not going to miss out on any company match by doing this. If your company does a match true-up, then there's nothing to worry about, but make sure you're not missing out.
