Thanks for the link. I wonder if these guys would use a sensible option strategy (no YOLO) wouldn't that work better for them? Like selling verticals, the stock doesn't have to move, or CCs, etc.etc. They could be slightly wrong and still make money.
But I guess whatever works for them....
AFAIK, CamTheMan trades only stocks and needs to get in/out within seconds, which could be difficult using options, especially spreads or other combos. Even when he may hold overnight, he still makes quick decisions when he needs to close a trade.
I also think he uses Level 2 where he may see some pending stock orders, while option traders more often look at recent large option trades.
Also, he simply didn’t have time to learn options, while options could limit him.
Also, initially he started with penny stocks that didn’t have options, and still trades them when he spots opportunities, though moved mostly to large cap.
But if I had access to his live trades then of course I’d try to see how they might’ve worked with options. Unfortunately and suspiciously he doesn’t show his trades live, but does go over them on YouTube after market closes.
And I wouldn’t fully trust him, but he should be on the list of top traders making claims.
Finally, Chris Camillo / Dumb Money (
