Quote from RichardRimes:
wow..NO idea of the greeks and don't use them? You won't survive..so don't worry about where to put that $500K you won't be making! Seriously trading options without understanding and being aware of what those greeks are doing to you is like taking a black diamond run on a ski slope on your first day of skiing...some of them start out very smooth and mild......:eek:
Well, I am aware of what they are at a high level, but my understanding is not nearly as rigorous as some on this board.
I just have never used them. Have been selling options since 2007...I don't use the greeks, but I do react and adjust positions as needed. So, maybe I am 'acting' in a way that takes the greeks into account without explicitly using the greeks...or maybe my party will end at some point. I suppose only time will tell.
