What is the Goal of the Community

This community is a place where I share some of my many LIVE trades that I make in an attempt to generate regular income.

It is recommended that if a trader wanted to follow these trades, that they should trade them in paper for educational purposes.

What kind of returns should I expect?

While I make trades with the intent of generating regular and consistent returns and income, I am in no way guaranteeing that my trades will generate either. And in fact, if members are trading in paper for educational purposes there should be no risk involved.

The goal of this community is to help people understand the logistics of trading and how to consider risk and how to adjust positions as needed based on your risk assessment.

In many cases, I may offer up a number of different trades or adjustments based on how people might interpret the market and then I provide my insight and explain what I plan to do - but I always encourage others to take the path that best suits their opinion.

What kind of trades are made and how often?

On average I try to have 3-5 open trades on at time and at their inception each one will usually have less than $2,500 in risk associated with them (but not always). NOTE that some trades could have a higher risk level if/when they are adjusted and the trader can decide how to handle that if/when it occurs.

What Products are traded and Time In Trade?

I tend to most often trade the SPX and RUT but will toss in a stock or ETF trade from time to time.

Generally speaking the trades I enter will be 14 DTE's up to as much as 100 DTE's in rare cases and I usually like to have the trades closed well before expiration when viable.

Do I need to set at my computer all day?

No - while I may provide a new trade or adjustment at any time of the day, most trades are not overly time sensitive and should be able to be entered in the last hour of the market or in many cases even 1-2 days later.

Many times I will put out a GTC order to thin or exit a trade that could set there for days or weeks in some cases.
