How Pro Traders REALLY Day Trade — You’re Doing It Backward

🚨 I’ll be live at 7 p.m. ET 🚨

Thanks to one of the most reliable signals I’ve come across in almost two decades of trading, I’ve been able to target big returns almost every weekend so far in 2026 — I’ll share that and more [tap to join us]!

 

Everyone sees a stock rip through the day’s high and thinks it’s finally safe to buy.

Then boom — it fades, and the donkeys who chased it are already underwater.

We watched it happen right in front of us…

In this video, I’m breaking down the buy-the-dip, sell-the-rip approach we’ve been using in the Option Pit. I’ll show you whose orders can fuel that breakout, why the excitement can disappear fast and how I think about the other side of the trade.

Order Flow: 

This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.

When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.

You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.

With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.

Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!

If a stock is really expensive, consider a spread to lower the cost.

And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!

If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.

There is inherent risk in trading. Trade at your own risk.

Note: If no date is listed after the month, it’s the monthly expiration (third Friday).
