ARE THERE ANY OPPORTUNITIES TO BE HAD IN DAY TRADING OPTIONS?
Day Trading Options
- Thread starter uniquetrades
- Start date
Yes, see my reply on Earnings Play earlier today. You are looking for a strong move on a specific equity - big up, or big down - you don't really care. If there is an inconsequential move you lose Theta and so you would want to close off the position before too long.
To summarise you are selling reverse Call ratio spreads just before some major announcement or some major anticipated event.
Generally, you don't stand to gain much in this game, given the risk and given the market maker's spreads, and given the difficulty in predicting the underlying direction.
Best wishes

A better investment for OP would be a CapsLock key that works.
If you expect a big move everybody expects one, so the i.v. is high (expensive options). Then, the big move comes, if it ever materialize, with a big drop in i.v. (cheap options).
There was an old thread showing same trades taken with naked options and stocks, on 30 minute charts.
No ....... But there is lots of money in buying just before close and selling the next day.
Wow, you managed to completely leave out IV. Theta? That's it? Tell you what. Before posting "plays" I think you need to learn a little about what you're talking about first.
If what you say is true, you could just "straddle" (or in your case strangle.....pun intended ) your way to financial freedom and in OUR case a better society
.there are lots of opportunities to lose money if you dont know what you are doing.
