buying call or put options on margin?

If you know it's going to go up and keep on going up, just use a somewhat strict trailing stop.

It won't be the most optimal profit, but it will be within a couple of percent of it as long as the stock does not fluctuate too much going up.

Write [call or put] options at the current price point and use the money to buy some [put or call] options on the stock. Make sure you don't accidentally write the one you should have bought or buy the one you should have written.

if i knew 100% that the stock is going to go up or down in the next 5-15 minutes i would trade binary options. all you need to get right is the direction the price moves before expiry.

finding a binary option broker that isnt run by scam artists is the hard part.

just buy call or put with ~30 days to expiration.. if you need more time then sell and buy it again another 30 days out a week before expiration

Options aren't guaranteed to move in the same direction as the underlying security. I got burned by this once (thought AMD stock would jump on higher than expected earnings, it did, the call I had bought went *down* in value). However, the value of a futures contract will always move in the direction of the underlying security.
