Hey Wayne,
I found that trading the weekly options on the S&P is a great way to day trade...because it is an automatic risk limiting function of course but if you guess the direction correctly in such a volatile market a small premium can triple or even much better very quickly...
You might try it once or twice...I prefer it greatly as it seems to limit risk greatly but not profits too much...a good run gets into the money on your option quickly anyways...
Just a suggestion...
