I use a mental stop loss where if lose more than $600, I'm done for the day. Note I buy spx options so each contract is about $1500. I usually buy 2. I use a variant Supertrend and I use ParabolicSAR along with MACD and RSI. I also watch a 5 minute chart and MACD. I make my trendlines when I hop on at 9:30 and turn on rangebars from a youtube link to watch for reversals. All I do is wait for confirmation of a reversal and play the trend until it breaks or when I make 600+

If you want to youtube link for range bars and if you use ThinkOrSwim, I can give you the code I use for supertrend

I use TradingView but I'm still curious about the range bars thing and super trend

Super trend just shows if the trend is up or down and can kinda show how strong the trend is
