    Probability of Success in Spreads

    The same 'efficient market' theory would say that because the option market makers price options at max efficiency, over the long run you can't make any money on options. So from this I assume that Tastytrade is of the opinion that you can only make money by selling options, not by buying...

    My 2013 Option Trades.... part 3
