Now that would be cool ... How do we get one of those going?

Not a stupid question, if you learned from it ... basic and rookie, sure .. Assuming since tastytrades popped up all over the place this is a smartass link and I shouldnt pay attention to it, based on the high praise you have given them :)

again, names and books, something I can work with. Never said I dont believe you, I just simply stated your replies shitting on Ravar dont help me in my OP questions. Sure they may point out flaws, however me being new to all this ... most of it goes over my head. Things I am surely to learn now...

see.... 7 pages in I finally get an author name lol. That is something I can work with

Would love to! That is why I am here, to get help and pointed in the right direction. However I was told to read a book .... no books mentioned. I was told to take advice from people who "actually know" options trading ... no names given because that would be rude ?? So, being new to options...

I have ... Maybe I need to reconsider them ??

Profit target 5-10 percent,which I am assuming is on the underlying. He hasn't said what percent of the move he hopes to capture.. ------- what do you mean what % of move in hoping to capture? 5-10% of overall move depending on how it's going.. NKE for instance.. I'd be looking to take about $5...

Is 5-10 percent your target and you are out? ---- yes 5-10 after covering my entering costs If its up 5 -10% are you going to trade with a trailing stop? --- no, my platform does not have an auto trailing stop function, unless I am missing it ... TOS .. Are you punting,i.e. you place the trade...

Only took 4 pages before we get down to actually working the issue, getting some spitballing going :D Better bang for the buck if I am right... Less capital up front .. If I'm buying ITM strikes, what does 6 months or 2 years for that matter help with? Outside the the fact that 2 years, I...

I'm sorry if you call what you said above advice ... We need to work on what is meaningful advice ... You said I don't know what I'm doing and I should accept advice from those who do and to ignore ravar .... All I said was he's the only one who seems to actually offer advice. The majority of...

So one thing I've noticed .. he's the only one that tried to help. Then everyone else spends the rest of the time telling me how bad he is ... Which is fine, but then they don't actually give their own thoughts sooooo ....

Crap!! Ya just noticed my title ... I was working with both in back testing and had a question on the call side ... Thread title should be Buying Naked Calls... But I can't seem to update it :(

Any recommendations?

No that comment was to destriero who commented on your stuff.... Not directed at you

@raVar ... When you say you go out a little in time... How far are you talking? Y'all can go on attacking each other later ... The above doesn't help me nor answer my questions ;)

I am curious how far ITM y'all would go? If you have a stock with a solid upward trend and news is all positive so there a solid chance it will still Gain another 5-10% for example in the next couple months. Do you go more off entry Price and what % that possible loss is to your overall...

Nope I try and stick to 1:5 ratio at most .... 1:9 was what I saw when I tried to get SPX and which is why I stayed away Like the below ... 63 DTE around the 10D range each side and it's almost 1:10 I have to move close to the 85% OTM / 13-14D range to get it down to 1:2 / 1:3 range

Yes that is what I normally end up with

Correct ... Normally 1:4 is where I end up

Below is the one I was talking about ... Yes each short was 10 Delta range ...1:9 was not on this trade ... This was 1:4 I believe maybe 1:5 ... DTE was 6 days when I got in
