Is trading easier with a large account?

You need at least $25,000 to day trade.

Small-account traders often dream of bigger balances, convinced more capital holds the key to success.

Yet size rarely solves underlying issues.

Skilled traders thrive with any amount, while poor strategies fail regardless of funds.

True progress comes from honing skills, managing risk, and developing discipline — not chasing account size.

This is why I created the $2,000 Small Account Journey.

The goal is to become consistently profitable with a starting stake of $2,000.

The discipline required to successfully grow $2,000 should translate to growing any size account i.e. $20,000, $200,000 or even $2,000,000.

Step 1:

First I had to choose if I’d focus on stocks, options, crypto etc.

I went with options because of the leverage they provide on mega-cap stocks like META, NVDA, and TSLA etc.

Each option contract represents 100 shares of the underlying stock. This leverage is useful when trying to grow a starting stake of $2,000.

Step 2:

Second I had to choose a strategy. There are a lot of good strategies to consider. However, only a few are well suited for accounts under $25,000.

I went with selling option spreads because of the defined risk and high probability of winning trades.

Similar to the slot machine owner, a short premium trader must reduce the impact of outlier losses to reach a large number of occurrences (trades) and realize the positive longer-term averages.

Step 3:

Third I had to define my edge.

I went with swing trading mega-caps options on earnings winners like META, NVDA, and TSLA using the 10-day EMA for signal generation.

The 10-day EMA is significant for trend identification, support and resistance levels and signal generation.

From mean reversion techniques to trend-following strategies, and moving average crossovers I place nearly all of my trades using the 10-day EMA.

Let’s apply this to the real world.

How about a quick look at my current $2,000 balance.

Friday it closed at $30,610. It’s up 1,431%.

I’ve made 316 trades of which 279 were wins and 37 were losses.

That’s an 88% win rate.

As you can see, this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. And since I’m an experienced trader, my results may not be typical.

That said, I’m a fantastic teacher and can show you how and why it works so well.

See how NVDA tested the 10-day EMA Thursday and bounced off of it Friday?

All I do is sell out-of-the-money put spreads to option buyers at or below that green line. If you don’t know what that trade is, don’t get hung up on that now, it’s not complicated — I can teach you.

I call that green line the “Trampoline Trap” but why does it work?

NVDA is an earnings winner so big money algorithms often start buying when Nvidia retraces to the 10-day EMA or green line i.e. mean reversion.

Long premium strategies have high profit potential but cannot be consistently timed to ensure profit in the long term.

A better way of saying that is buying options is likely to produce losses in the long term.

Trampoline trap. The option buyer buys out of the money puts as NVDA dips Thursday.

And I’m there to sell them to him or her.

This is what the out-of-the-money put options buyer sees on Thursday when I sold them the $123 puts. Sure looks like it’ll fall Friday and those out of the money $123 puts would work.

But I see something different. I see the trampoline i.e. 10-day EMA. I know NVDA is likely to find support at that green line due to algorithmic trading.

And that buying pressure will slingshot the price back up — like a trampoline shoots you into the air.

And that trampoline, all else being equal, will work more than you think. Just like it did Friday.

How well does that trampoline trap work for selling out-of-the-money put spreads? Here’s NVDA 2024.

Think it’s only NVDA? You’d be wrong. How about META?

Think it’s only tech stocks like NVDA and META? Wrong again. Any earnings winner is likely to be bought up at the 10-day EMA via algorithmic trading.

A large account will not make you a better trader. It just means you’re going to lose more money.

When you join the $2,000 Small Account Journey you’re not just trying to grow that balance to $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000.

When you join you are committing to:

1. A superior strategy and edge in the market that can be done with as little as $2,000

2. A disciplined approach to trading across 100, 200, or 300+ trades to develop the right habits

3. If you grow $2,000, you’ll be better able to manage your new, large account

This is what I’m teaching in the $2,000 Small Account Journey.

There is no hype. It’s real.

And if you’re serious about becoming a better trader, you’ll join during my BACK TO SCHOOL SALE.

Eat, sleep, and trade.
