$SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$
Hey folks. Here I am again, a few beers down. My daughter is sleeping soundly, so is my wife. So I'll spend some time with you all.
Let's talk strangles.
Confidence and Uncertainty - say whaaaa!?!?
Yep, you heard it here. These two seemingly opposing factors can actually be a strategy.
Here's an example:

A Simple Options Strategy
My options trading strategy is simple, but it requires a bit of research. There are a few factors that I consider in my decision making process when deciding on what options contracts to buy.

I search for news catalysts or economic data releases that can move price.
I pay attention to options order flow.

You make it simple but it is not, you have to be very skilled and get prudently through the NECESSARY learning curve, not to end among the 90%+ retail traders who lose money.
since it looks quite more simple than considering all the possible variations in the options field.

Watch for unusual options being used to cover other unusual options as a hedge also. ...
