I am seeing both sides of this (private-for-compensation; public-with-'debate'-lens), and so, will stand on the fence ("Ow!") on that one.
But the statement that "I know about 40% of how to trade options..." cues up for me, a need to respond that, there is an entire *industry* out there -- "Infomercials", Youtube, websites galore -- geared up to tell you how "to trade" options.
But it ain't IN the trading. It's in position management. And better, it's in *capital* management. It is NOT in the trade.
Think of it as real estate: certainly, the buying or selling -- the *transaction* of real estate -- can make you money or lose it. But MUCH more important, is what you DO with the real estate while you have title. Fix it up? Let it degrade? Did you buy in the right neighborhood? Is the property well- or ill-suited to your imagined "highest and best use"? The transaction ain't shit.
Maybe it was just the OP's word choice, but I would highly encourage ... anyone[!] to take the perspective of a capital owner looking to deploy their capital in a way that balances exposed risk with sought reward, and measures that, each and every day. Trades/trading are but the signing of papers or the clicking of a mouse. The important stuff is the management of the capital.
