If I had to start all over tomorrow with just $10,000 in my trading account, I wouldn’t park it in sleepy stocks and hope for the best.
I’d build the entire plan around controlled risk, fast-moving opportunities and enough upside to actually change the account. That means knowing when to sell premium, when to buy options and when to take a calculated swing for the fences.
Here’s what I’ll cover in today’s video:
🛡️ The maximum I’d risk on any one position
🌪️ The VIX level that changes my entire approach
🚀 The breakout setup I’d hunt in high-momentum names
💰 How I’d scale out while keeping a piece alive for a bigger move
🎲 Why earnings can be worth the gamble — even with a low win rate
⏳ The options I’d avoid because they tie up too much capital
A small account leaves no room for dead money, baby. Watch the video below to see all three setups and exactly how I’d manage the risk.
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.

I’m leaving this here because I’m shifting gears soon, and I may not have the time to bring it up for a while…
If you haven’t checked out my AI trading engine K.I.R.A. yet, it’s been my most useful tool for the past three months.
It’s a first-of-its-kind scanner that uses AI to flag the stocks that are seeing the bulk of institutional inflows… and hands you all the details you need to target months worth of ROI in 48 hours or less.
Naturally, we won’t be making reckless promises when it comes to trading, but….
I really want you to see what it can do, so I set it up so you can get 30 days completely free.
Zero catch, no upfront cost… just a full month to test-drive it and see the results for yourself. That’s how confident I am in it!

Since I’m moving on to focus on a few other things after the week ends, this may not be available again anytime soon.
If you’ve been curious, today’s definitely the day to snag it!
