How I Spend My 30-45 Minutes a Day Trading Options

Everyone asks me the same thing: How do you spend your time every day? What are you actually doing in that 30-45 minutes?

 

So I decided to show you.

 

Every stock I trade has a chart. Every chart has resistance lines, support lines, and the 200 moving average. That is the foundation. My favorite chart to track is the IADSS 4-hour extended trading hours chart — it gives powerful signals, and honestly, I do not feel like you need much more than this. Couple it with a 12-hour chart when you are really trying to hone in on a perfect entry, and you have everything you need.

 

Let me walk you through what I look at.

 

 

Astera Labs had major support at $140. It tested that level again and again until it finally broke down into the prior trading range between $80 and $105. What does that tell me?

 

I know that if I am going to sell a put, I sell it at a support level. When the stock gets back to resistance, I sell a call to bring in income. And since that old $140 support did not hold, it now acts as new resistance.

 

 

This is not theory. The other day I sent out an alert that I sold calls on ALAB. We were right near the old support area — new resistance. We got up there, rolled right over, and sold off. Exactly what I expected.

 

Does it always work perfectly? No. But I always have a plan. If we break back above and I get called away, I start the wheel — selling puts or strangles/straddles with a call. I always have a next move.
