Stacking Indicators

Good CALL entry?

The more the merrier ☺

What about a 30-50 delta?!?Lower delta’s are not meant to be permanent

Where do you set stops?THE REASON FOR YOUR ENTRY IS THE REASON FOR YOUR EXIT!

Stack indicators for stronger support/resistance

The closer our entry is to our exit, the smaller the cost

That’s why Tweezers get so much love from me

I like to be first to the party!!!!
