Yeah, but first step correspond to market makers. For instance, I'm trading with ES options instead of EW. You know the reason, spreads in EW are wider. But I'd like to trade with EOM options. The european style exercise ease the option valuation and the trading planning. You aren't...

Me too. Why is not more popular this options expiration? European options with clear settlement fixing price. I guess it depens of the market maker liveliness. Regards

It works if you guess that IV is lesser than Future Volatility and hit it. Then, the motion of the market cause your delta edging (with positive gamma it means profit for you) and compensate the time decay (and the broker and spread spending). Think that long straddle/strangle works like that...

Me too, like water in the teapot:D

Be careful, options stop orders are very dangerous. You won't be able take control of your execution price or if they'll be filled (limit orders) Sugar

Threre isn't difference in delta but you'll be more exposed to others options sensitivities. Your leverage (if you're tranding volatility or time decay) will be bigger trading with OTM options. But be careful, the biggest gamma will come you to most frequent adjustment and then, the price...

Mark Douglas too?

If you should recommend an only one book trading, which would it be? I’d choose an old one: The disciplined trader, by Mark Douglas It’s a nice reading book that, some time ago, helped me to incorporate a few important concepts and now, that I’ve return to active trading, I often...

Options is like another financial tool. You must try buy cheap and sell expensive. But remember, options value don't depends, in a exclusive manner, of underlaying evolution. Time and volatility affect the options value too. I'm sure you know it. But remember, everybody knows it too. This...
