Wouldn’t you want to know how much money you are bound to make when the stock in your Option Strategy reach a certain price by a given date ?

Well, Power eTrade TradeLAb can easily tell you that by just sliding your mouse vertically for the price of the stock and horizontally for the time in the future.

Before you take a trade, you can go to the TradeLab by selecting Build Strategy in the Picture above and a window Called Strategy Builder will Pop Up.

Then you can enter your Strategy ( it is possible to mix Stocks and Options). Just select Add Option or Add Stock.

After you save your strategy, a graphic window will come with your Risk Profile.

The TradeLAb simulator is showing on your profit curve that should AMD stock reach $57.84, that strategy stands to generate $487.22 of profit.

The Maximum Loss on the position is the amount of Money we would be spending to buy those 10 contracts.

The break even point is for expiration Day and that price is at $59.22.

How to Get a Chart of an Option Contract Inside Power eTrade ?

My favorite feature on Power eTrade Trading Platform is by far the ability to track the price of the Options I am trading.

Why ?

From the entry to the trade, it enables you to see if you pay too much for that contract.

We mainly trade weekly Options through our Subscription Trade Alerts.

So during the week, it is very important to get a good entry price.

Once in a trade, the chart of the Options helps you determine support and resistance for that option.

Yeah, just like you would do on the chart of the stock.

We teach our traders how to set up the same technical indicators we have on the stocks charts on the option charts as well.

Here is a recent video we made specifically for this purpose.

Power eTrade vs. Pro eTrade

Is Pro E*TRADE worth It ?

E*Trade offer and advanced trading Platform on top of Power e*Trade called Pro e*Trade.

This is their legacy platform before they bought Option House in 2017.

You will access and sign on to ETRADE Pro by using User’s existing ETRADE User ID and sign-on password.

The main features are not so different between the two so I am yet to utilize the Etrade Pro version.

I will be bringing you the nuances in the near future.

Power eTrade vs. ThinkOrSwim

We have some of our Traders in our Discord Room who use ThinkOrSwim trading platforms for Option trading.

I have always known that this platform was not intuitive for its users.

Though powerful, a trading platform ought to make it easy for beginners (especially) to quickly familiarize themselves with the basic features.

Also, its users have complained of many issues that have prevented them from trading for a full trading session.

This type of feedback make it weary recommend it as strongly as I would for Power e*Trade.
