When setting up a trade look for quality TRADES, not quantity of TRADES. Most of time, look for trades which will return you for each $1.00- $3.00 back. The chart, show a possible $6.00 profit on trade 75% ($600.00 reward) Have a stop loss of which is under entry price action or as chart $2.00 under ($200.00 RISK). This is an idea set up, WHY? Because If you win one trade, if will cover three losses. Some trades, you will make 2:1 or up to 6:1 or more depending entry.
I strongly believe that starting 45 day to 65 day out trades at stock earnings, can lead to high profit, as long as you understand the big picture- not just the immediate price action.
*If you made $600 profit on noted trade with one contract three months, you can do this with many companies. Stick with blue chip companies that have dividends and high open interest (on contracts) and have a major TREND on daily, weekly and/or monthly charts. You can trade other companies, buy would entry most call TRADES when stock earnings are in a bollinger band "SQUEEZE" oversold and exit when bollinger band is wide and price action is overbought.
That is why, I use daily charts for stock trades around earnings, with bollinger band and RSI, with 50 ma too. Keep your charts simple, they are always RIGHT.
