Hi,
What is the best expiry date to choose when swing trading options. (at the money)
weekly is too volatile and dangerous, if you're wrong you're wiped out.
a few months out, can be too far that the option premium doesn't move.
What is considered as a good medium term expiry date for swing trading options?
(I get direction right most of the time, only timing is a bit of a problem, I'm sometimes 1 or 2 days too early before the option starts moving in the direction I predicted, and with options that's already risky as the premium can lose a lot of value in 1-2 days).
The option has to move but not too much.
What do you guys think? 2 months, 3 months? When is decay the worst?
