Common Stock Market Intra-Day Stock Patterns This is Eastern

Standard Time
When day trading the US stock market you may notice certain patterns,
based on the time of day, that occur more often than not. These patterns, or
tendencies, happen often enough for professional day traders to base their
trading around them.(edited)
[10:06 PM]
9:30 a.m.: The stock market opens, and there is an initial push in one
direction (it may take a couple minutes to get going). 9:45 a.m.: The initial
push often sees a significant reversal or pullback. This is often just a short-
term shift, and then the original trending direction re-asserts itself. 10:00
a.m.: If the trend that began at 9:30 a.m. is still in play, it will often be
challenged around this time. This tends to be another time where there is a
significant reversal or pullback 11:15–11:30 a.m.: The market is heading
into the lunch hour, and London is getting ready to close. This is when
volatility will typically die out for a couple hours, but often the daily high or
low will be tested around this time. European traders usually close out
positions or accumulate a position before they finish for the day. Whether
the highs or lows are tested or not, the market tends to "drift" for the next
hour or more.(edited)
[10:06 PM]
11:45 a.m.–1:30 p.m.: This is lunch time in New York, plus a bit of a time
buffer. Usually, this is the quietest time of the day, and often, day traders
like to avoid it. 1:30–2:00 p.m.: If the lunch hour was calm, then expect a
breakout of the range established during lunch hour. Often, the market will
try to move in the direction it was trading in before the lunch hour doldrums
set in. 2:00–2:45 p.m.: The close is getting closer, and many traders are
trading with the trend thinking it will continue into the close. That may
happen, but expect some sharp reversals around this time, because on the
flip side, many traders are quicker to take profits or move their trailing stops
closer to the current price. 3:00 and 3:30 p.m.: These are big "shakeout"
points, in that they will force many traders out of their positions. If a reversal
of the prior trend occurs around this time, then the price is likely to move
very strongly in the opposite direction. Even if the prior trend does sustain
itself through these periods, expect some quick and sizable counter-trend
moves.(edited)
[10:06 PM]
As a day trader, it is best to be nimble and not get tied to one position or one
direction. It can be very hard to hold a trade for very long between 3 p.m.
and the close. The last hour of trading is the second most volatile hour of the
trading day. Many day traders only trade the first hour and last hour of the
trading day. 3:58–4 p.m.: The market closes at 4 p.m. After that, liquidity
dries up in nearly all stocks and ETFs, except for the very active ones. It's
common to close all positions a minute or more before the closing bell,
unless you have orders placed to close your position on a closing auction or
"cross."
What is leverage/ margin?
Leverage / Margin simply is “loaned money” that you can’t go in debt on.
You have to put up collateral (equity or the money in your trading account)
to use this.

Is leverage the same as margin?

In this context it does not matter. They are practically the exact same thing.
But Leverage refers to taking debt, while margin is borrowed money.
However, in trading. Both leverage and margin are used interchangeably. If
you want to be technical, Margin is the correct term for using borrowed funds
to invest.(edited)
[10:15 PM]

Who is loaning us the money?

In this case Crypto Rocket. The broker loans us the funds. Example of
leverage in a normal life scenario A house cost 100,000$. You put down
20,000$ to own the home. You used 1:5 leverage with a bank to gain full
ownership of an asset you previously could not afford. You used 1:5 leverage
because you put down 20,000$ to own an asset that cost 5x that.(edited)
[10:16 PM]
Example in trading So if you have 1,000$ and you want to make bigger
positions than 1000$. You can use say 1:100 leverage. This will boost your
trading power by 100$ for every 1$ you have. So 100 times trading power In
this case that would make your 1,000$ - 100,000$.
[10:16 PM]
Now, you have all this extra cash to trade with. Nothing can go
wrong right?
No, now the broker has a responsibility to monitor your account and if you
start losing more than the 1000$ you actually own. They will liquidate your
entire account.

What does this mean?

If you end up going negative, the broker does not want to have the
responsibility for you to pay them right? So, what the broker does to reduce
risk is to close your positions when you end up losing a certain amount of
equity. Generally this is 70% equity lost, then they liquidate you.(edited)
[10:17 PM]
This is extra risky because your account is now more volatile,
because you have more equity per position.
Example using 1:100 leverage with 1000$ (leverage power is 100k) If you
use 50,000$ of your trading power and lose 2,000$ on the trade which would
only be 4% of the position value. You would lose your entire account.
Because you cannot go negative. So, high leverage is very risky if you
overextend yourself. This means that if you only have 1000$ to trade with,
then you can use 1:100 leverage. But be very careful on the amount of
equity you are using per position. You can open trades that are 3000-5000$
with confidence because each % loss will only take a fraction of your 1000$
balance. This equals less likely chance to be liquidated. But on the flip
side, if you have a large free margin (the amount of money in your balance
not being used) then you can sit in losing trades longer and wait for the
correction and come out with huge gains.
[10:17 PM]

Why should you even use leverage it sounds so risky?

This is a 100% subjective response. Everyone will have a different method of
risk management. But, leverage allows us to open more trades at once than
we previously were allowed to. As well as boost our profits significantly with
positions we could not open before. A good amount of leverage for a trader
just starting out is 1:3 or under. I suggest opening up a demo account and
experimenting with trades to get a first hand experience of using leverage.

if IV is between 70-100% you are OVER PAYING for a contract

Option prices are calculated using the current price of the stock, the strike
price of the option, the length of time until the expiry date and the expected
volatility in the stock’s price over that length of time. The greater the price of
an option relative to the difference between its strike price and the current
price of the underlying stock, the greater the premium that is being
demanded to account for the uncertainty surrounding the expected volatility
of that stock. Therefore, the premium that an option commands is a measure
of the implied volatility that investors are expecting.

What is float and why does it matter? Float is the amount of shares
available to be traded to the public (this means subtracting the insider
shares etc. from the shares outstanding. It’s important because it tells you
how liquid and easily traded the shares are. In terms of market cap, it’s the
shares outstanding multiplied by the stock price. It gives you an idea of the
size of the company and can help determine weather or not you should
invest in it. [Link]

DEFINITION of Dividend Capture Dividend capture is specifically the

practice of buying a stock just prior to the ex-dividend date in order to
capture the dividend, then selling it immediately after the dividend is paid.
The purpose of the two trades is simply to receive the dividend, as opposed
to selling at a profit. How long do you have to hold a stock to get the
dividend? In the simplest sense, you only need to own a stock for two
business days to get a dividend payout. Technically, you could even buy a
stock with one second left before the market close and still be entitled to the
dividend when the market opens two business days later.
Ahh the Ghetto Spread or Legging How to get away with "Unlimited Day
Trades" So is this how a Ghetto spread works I have a BABA 250c with profits
I am out of day trades I can sell a BABA 252.50c right above it I collect the
premium of that contract which will cover my initial from the 250c and my
profits since it is more valuable than my current option Once you do that,
you’ll receive the premium for the option you sold. To close it, you inverse.
So you sell the one you bought and buy the one you sold at the same time.
You can’t do it separately Downside - You limit your profit you can make

Why do we hedge ?
When market has potential to trend opposite of our current positions we
must protect capital. Instead of liquidating those positions and realizing the
loss, we can protect our other positions by offsetting loses! For example, if
you are holding tech call options then a good hedge could be QQQ puts since
it correlates directly with the tech sector ! Or if your holdings are primarily in
heavily weighted S&P 50 stocks then calls or puts on UVXT or VXX is your
play ! Choose expiration 1-2 weeks out and 1-2 strikes OTM for a good hedge
