Any suggestions on how to properly learn how to do this?

The easiest way to do it is follow my plans. The harder way to do it is watch the stock market and look into technical analysis. It takes a while but if you start with a small account you can look for an edge and utilize it. It takes a while and you have many losses early on and then over time you narrow it down to what works. I'm not sure if anyone can do it the same way I do but I don't know of a better way to answer your question.

Main items we focus on are price-action and price-volume. In essence, for every minute the price goes up, what's the volume? For every penny the stock goes up, what's the volume? For every 100,000 shares what's the change in price?200k? 300k? 1m? and so on. Also, weighted factors for all the different indicators, MA/SMA/CCI/RSI/VWAP being of most pertinence. Pitch fork trends weighted at a lower level. Also several other proprietary indicators based on stock correlation (i.e. BABA vs AMZN, if AMZN is moving down, BABA should as well because of what it relies on). Sentiment Analysis to look for bad news.

OP - tread carefully, this "advice" is from an individual afflicted with a case of Dunning-Kruger.

[BB] The PLAN is to enter the Jun 21 $10.00 Calls if BB crosses above 10.50 if you like

[HD] The PLAN is to enter the Apr 18 $190.00 Calls if HD crosses above 193.00 if you like

[AAPL] The PLAN is to enter the Apr 18 $192.50 Calls if AAPL crosses above 193.00 if you like

For anyone looking at the statistics here.

BB never met the entry point.

HD did 150%.

AAPL is up 60%.
