MTT Paper Trade Study: Entries purely base on personal chart reads at points where a move might be likely. Buy both calls and puts to avoid making call on getting it right, just a call that a move is likely. Some personal favs:

- Inflection pattern
- Narrowing range, 7 or 8 bars
- Tail outside of bollie
- kissing at MA

Trades: Cumulative performance based on $1 total trade with 10% net commission (on 3 trades to open and close position, 2 to open and 1 to close), and starting portfolio of $10 (e.g., commit 10% of initial balance per trade.)
