The Dark Pool Got into Position, The Direction was Made

Kody Ashmore, the Director of Weekly Options Strategies, covers the recent dark pool levels and shows where the signal print suggests price is heading. Since Kody’s main goal in trading is to be able to produce a weekly income for a source of living, short-term trading has always had his attention. Kody seeks to actively pay himself weekly while managing risk. Using 0DTE expiration options, there’s no overnight risk, and you can have as little as $1,000 in your account and still take advantage of Kody’s goal of receiving a minimum of 1% of his account value for the trade.
