When scalping i pick the same week expiry! If I take a swing trade I pick next week expiry to give myself more time!

[@ThePleiades02]

Do you select market order for your NVDA options? I tried to buy a limit order before and my order doesn’t get filled. Is it alright to rout to “intelligent”?

[@richross1]

Which expiration do you select?

[@jburrowsiv]

The example with NVDA has a pretty healthy spread for the ATM strike. Do you try to shave that spread or do you always pay up? Thanks!

[@masitrades]

I usually always try to buy at the mid or ask!

[@dwayneseegars1086]

What DTE do you use when buying options for Day trading ?

[@seanfisher9023]

The hang up for me is buying or selling calls or puts? I know calls are bullish and puts are bearish. but do you go with the buying or selling the calls or puts on scalping specifically?

Hello there. So how do you truly determine when you buy ITM or OTM? Does it depend on the market ? The individual stock?? Just thinking out loud 🤔

[@Les413]

Thanks for the video Masi. How do you determine the amount of contracts you will buy? Thanks.

[@masitrades]

It depends on how I feel about the market and how much risk im willing to put on at a time!

[@Les413]

@@masitrades Thank you Masi.

[@ntheq3982]

In this example showing NVDA price at $282.78 and trading the $285 strike (@ the money) CALL, the spread between the BID $6.10 & ASK $6.80 seems pretty big, .70c. If you are buying CALLs to scalp, what price would you use on your trade order to "hopefully" guarantee a fill when you want in right now because you may be getting out 3 minutes later like you described in one of your TSLA trades? Also, seems difficult to jump from option string to actually buying it based off what you see on your chart screen. Then how do you "know" if your trade filled, then jump back to your chart screen to see if its maybe approaching a resistance or whole number exit point and then having to jump back to sell your CALL to close. Do you use a market order to close so you're certain to get out. IF YOU COULD MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW YOU EXECUTE THE ROUND TRIP ENTRY/EXIT USING THINKORSWIM PLATFORM WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL. Probably easier done than I think b/c I have limited experience on the platform. THX

Hey, so if you’re scalping and you select an ITM strike, does that decrease risk even more?

Hi I currently trade and want to start buying call options instead of stock. Not knowing how long I will be holding the trade on, it could be a day or two days or more.

@MasiTrades how do you buy the options so quickly? i have to right click and buy a call/put then confirm, then copy call / put name into the chart field and sell through active trader. Very time consuming, you are scalping options like stocks, could you share how you quickly scalp options using ToS UI?

[@alo5703]

Very good information how you trade for scalping. Are you saying that you do not consider Probability OTM and Support and Resistance chart pattern at all? What kind of price action do you look for before you decide to take a trade?

[@masitrades]

No this video is solely speaking about strike prices and how to select them. I pay attention to other factors when I’m trading obviously such as support and resistance, level II, price action etc. this is just explaining how I decide on strike prices

@@masitrades Thanks for your quick response. Do you have a bias about the direction of the stock before you decide which way you are going to take a trade?

Great video, do you look at the spread between BID and ASK ? I have notice to be 80 cents to 1.50 diff. - SO you trade around the ITM at the closes to the stike price ?

Hey Masi, Quick question. At around 5:09 in the video you state to select a strike price in the money would be below the current market price to purchase a call, you also said that in the money for a put the strike price would be below the market.
