Someone who follows ICT, explain this trade to me.
What are you going to do if you get a 40, 60, or 140 pip downward spike? Blow up?

At least this time he's using a demo account.

All that he has to do is:
1) limit risk
2) scale into good trades
3) scale out when in profit
More risk is more risk, more profit is more profit.
Re: Three Charts
MightyOne,
I hope it is OK to ask an option related question related to accumulation.
Not formulated well, in part because I trade only the basic option strategies, but hope it is clear enough.
Some of the benefit of buying vanilla options is the possibility of leverage with limited risk, without the need for a stop loss.
(If trading stocks this is beneficial, because they could have significant changes in value due to e.g. overnight news.
This allows leveraged positions to be held overnight without excessive risk)
A benefit of trading FX is that I can use tight stops with small spreads - I could effectively double my space in 10 pips or less.
Do you find the accumulation process to be different when trading vanilla options rather than e.g. spot FX?
The things I have been learning in your thread -
can I do the same with vanilla options (including accumulation on small charts / tight stops) ?

Just as I had feared, he'll let his account go to zero before he takes a loss.
I hope that this account is not meant to be an example for others to follow...

I have never traded options on stocks.
I stick to commodity options (Gold, Rice, Coffee, Cattle, etc) for the most part.
When trading vanilla options your focus in on getting a good price with at least 3-4 months until expiry.
What is a good price? You have to look at what it was trading for over the life of the option.
1) You will purchase calls when price is falling or no one is watching (OTM options).
2) Depending on how many options you have purchased, you will sell the options and buy the outright;
using the profit as your "space".
& there are a lot of things that I will not say because I don't want you to harm yourself

Well, thank you for thinking of me
Re: Three Charts
I wanted to post the first option accumulation trade made - my old ways.
It was on the stock MU and the reason for the trade was the general bearishness
of the chart and also because the S&P500 index was at resistance level.
Exited for about 1% profit of the account.
The option appreciated 25%.

Don't be fooled by the apparent concerns on twitter, they are mocking him.
