  10. Typically yes I use a 20pt stop. Trade 4,8,12 or 16 contracts; depending on the setup.

    BUT on a choppy day like this I use a 10 point stop and look for 5 -10 points. I know that the risk/reward isnt that attractive, but it works on days like this. Choppy expiration day with a tight range.

    Up $800; another $200 to go.
