After the last post was made, many friends asked, so how exactly can one determine they are ready or capable of trading Options?
Come~ I will summarize in two parts:5 "trading mindsets" + 3 "practical skills"~ Let's do a self-test.
Part One: Do you possess the "Options Mindset"?
① You know that "Options are not Stocks."
Stocks are buying Assets, while Options are buying "possibilities."
Stocks can be held indefinitely, while Options depreciate daily.
✅ Self-assessment: Can you explain 'time value' and 'IV (implied volatility)'? (It can be observed more in the large cap end-of-date options.) $SPY 250514 586.00C$
② You accept that "even if the direction is correct, you may still incur losses."
Buying a Call, the symbol goes up, but you still incur a loss → because it didn't go up fast enough or the volatility decreased.
✅ Judging method: Can you give an example of a 'right call but losing money'? Below is the end-of-date options from my recent trades. $HUT 250516 16.00C$ Buying after high premium without a continuous increase makes it very difficult to make money, so this one needs to be sold quickly. What I want is a continuous increase, not oscillating upward 📈.
③ You start "calculate first, then place an order".
Before each purchase, first calculate: What is the maximum loss? What is the profit? Where is the break-even point?
No longer buy blindly based on feelings, but rather enter the market with a plan.
