Can I trade the 1-2-3 without options?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every call is a stock trade too: buy the stock, put the stop 10% under the entry and the target 5% over it, and sell at the close on day 30 if neither is hit. The options trade is one way to take each call; the stock trade underneath it is the one our record counts (the record). Buy the stock when the alert lands, at 3:45 PM Eastern, before the close (the entry). Set a stop order 10% under the alert's entry and a sell limit 5% over it. The alert gives both prices. If neither fills, sell at the close on day 30. The alert gives the date. The stock trade needs no options approval, so it works in an IRA or a cash account.
