1. Introduction To The 30/50 Trade
On January 2018 I started a trading portfolio using a consistent per trade amount aka Position Sizing of approximately $ ($ ) to be exact.
I named the account The #1500 Model and opened a private Twitter on March 1st 2018 for $ month. The fee allowed follows to view my personal trades in real time (Twitter Feed Latency Aside) and offered in depth market data provided by myself from MarketGauge.com.
Since January 2018 The #1500 Model has;
Gained $138, % on the initial $35,000 cash acct
Open & Closed 842 trades, 5630 contracts
Gained 16% ROI against $876, in opening costs
Netted $17, per month / $ per day
Since March 1st went Live The #1500 Has;
Gained $40, % on the same $35,000
Open and Closed 554 trades 3,517 contracts
Gained 7% ROI against $569, in Opening costs
Netted $6, per month / per day
To some those numbers are life changing, to others it’s a walk in the park and to some it may even seem meager based on your own real life trades or the “Twitter Traders” who post endless wins occasional losses and make millionaires with their GURU tactics I’ll let you be the judge of that one.
What I have learned running this #1500 model over the last 9 months.
There is no doubt that you can, as I have in the past, trade much larger dollar amounts and adjust this trade to your Trading profile / styles.
However, using less of an amount tends to become consumed in commissions doesn’t allow the ability to scale out positions since smaller trade amounts buy lesser contracts than this model type requires and can be hindered by PDT (pattern day trade rules).
On the other hand more isn’t always better and some of the trades have liquidity and volume patterns that wont accommodate the scope of what I trade.

2. Introduction To The 30/50 Trade
Introducing “The 30/50 Trade” Model. Since the kickoff of the #1500 model I have taken multiple data sets and broken them down in everyway from, ROI’s, WIN LOSS’s, Avg trade dollar amounts, time in trades, lengthier expirations, entry times & exit times, etc.. No matter how I cut the data, it comes down to this. Todays trade environment requires an even more aggressive approach and a hard set of trade based rules with little room for forgiveness, I will take initial trade gains off by scaling out of trades at Targets 1 & 2 and placing tight stops & trailing stops on all trades.
Why is this different than the #1500 Model and how I am adjusting it ?
This Model takes into account all of the #1500 model rules but, adds in a HARD 30/50% scaleout rule which based on my past 9 months of work typically happens at the T1 30% and T2 50% targets.
Once the initial scales are off, the trade relaxes, while all along a Stop and a Trailing Stop to protect the downside and profits is in place ( In the past I have scaled but let the stops stay too far out killing the profits. STOPS and Trailing Stops will be based on a newly added “Opening Range Method and proprietary AMT #MATH.
All Stops will be put in place and posted on all live trades immediately, most of which will be based off the 30 min Opening Range lows or a #DOUGH Point Of Control !
I will be posting all related 30/50 Model Info on the Pro site and start running the 30/50 trades live Tuesday for @NYDOUGH_PRO. Tomorrow I will post a revised set of 30/50 rules and all related info. Some Links are attached pn last page of this presentation and there will be a New Tab on the Site Named 30/50
Please don’t let this confuse anyone! 80% of what you already know from me is in tact this is simply an enhanced step up to close a gap on some trade areas that need adjusting, scale the fast trades, scalps and WIN BIGGER !
Note: Over the next 30 days, in an effort to accommodate the curious build my subscriber base and manage some new relations, I will be posting “some” trade info on my handles as well.
