    makes sense. that's why I see lot of mustang, camarro in ghetto neighborhoods of Anchorage, Alaska. Why the hell in the world you wanna buy RWD sport car in a climate where it snows 6 months of the year.

    Is There A "Do and Don't" List For Option Trading?

    Trading options is a pipedream. 70% of the time market will chop so directional trades will expire worthless. Once in a while you will be right with direction then you will get out your position way too soon enough to go crazy. Then you will start trading weeklies to make more money which will...

    Is it even worth the effort to learn how to trade?

    No. I wish I would reverse the time and know absolutely anything about daytrading like any average American. Seriously.. I have not met one succesfull trader yet. Once you get into trading, you will make money first then give everything back.. Soon enough you will discover options and futures...

    Long on options vs day trading?

    depends on which time zone you live. Here in Alaska markets open at 5:30 am. I go to work at 9 am so I have plenty of time to daytrade in the morning. Usually I have more returns at first hour versus rest of the day and plus you don't want to sit in front of screen all day, you will get trapped...

    What's the current view of Tasty Trade after Karen-the-Faker?

    TT is a great, teaches a lot especially shadowtrader show. Best free show actually you can listen in TOS entire day version. Too much crap in TT as well stupd blondes, tim knight etc. Karen is one of them. If something is too good to be true... I'm sceptical actually anyone watched her TT...

    Independent Option trader

    IMO the key is not to think about how much you making a month. I know a guy made %300 last month trading only weeklies. He's a full time UBER driver, whenever he gets call ( except first hour) he leaves & goes work few hours and come back to see if any extreme limit order got filled.. that way...

    Weird option strategies

    That's it. It's all about underlying. I have heard people on TastyTrade bragging those complex strategies, but seriously it takes one bad earning move or extreme news.

    Independent Option trader

    DON'T! You need to trade times where VIX is above 25 and see if you last. Trading options is not a joke matter. You will lose your shirt faster than you think

    Best directional SPY options trading strategy

    I only trade the SPY, which I have monitored for so long that my gut often predicts how it will move. No joke. When you’re hyperfocused, investing with your gut can be effective. I use weekly options to add leverage and reduce the capital required. I always trade at the money call or put...
