re: Day trading the same ticker

What I do technically isn’t considered day trading since I get into options positions about 30 minutes before market close and out 30 minutes when the market opens the following day but it’s as close as it gets I guess. I typically will get into a reverse iron condor about $20 to $40 outside the money on highly volatile stocks such as lrcx and will usually hit a 12% profit pretty quickly.

There is certainly opportunities during those times and I did a bit of it as well over the years. I found that if money wasn’t made quick it was best to get out. I may have lost out on some upside money, but holding calls never went well if they didn’t go north right away.
