Work a Full Time Job?

Trade from your phone?

Can't sit in front of the screens all day?\

I have a solution for you.

The 30m chart 🧵 1. Why the 30m Chart?

The 30m chart is better than the hourly chart because the stock market is open 9:30am-4pm. Therefore the hourly chart will give you goofy candles. However, the 30m chart will give you 13 clean candles and the hourly 6.5 candles (math.)

Print this out, hang it on your screens, or write it on your hands, before you enter the world of options

A 🧵on Rules I live by Rule 1: Don't get bagged 👜

How to trade $SPY like the spizzy gods
Indicators: VWAP 8ema
Time frame: 10min

10min closes above 8ema I will only buy calls.

10min closes below 8ema I will only buy puts.

We only enter on 8 taps aka when the break action touches the 8ema. We don’t trade the open. We never once closed over the 8ema white line. So we rode puts in the am. Bearish trend ONLY PUTS. Don’t fight trend
