### Comment:
Sorry there, ms hoover.  Still learning. Figured that my post in and of itself would have indicated that I'm new to the daily trading game.  Wasn't asking about calls AND puts, merely mentioning them together.  Maybe I should have been more specific - what I'm trying to understand is if a common strategy is to monitor what's happening pre-market and buy calls or puts accordingly, watch closely and sell during the same trading period if you hit a certain % or gain or loss.

### REPLY:
Kind of.. generally speaking I suppose so. But that 'strategy' won't give you an edge, everything you described doing is already priced into the market (i.e. mimicking the pre-market + or - direction). Per your final statement, yes you should set certain % gain loss targets and stick to those.
