put/call selling seem to make sense so far as of now.

Quote from tradingjournals:

If I am not mistaken in your handle, I read that you used to sell premium on index/futures/etc using candors/straddles etc.

You seem to have changed business. What happened?

dont know if it's me, but i did do some of that. It's way too much work, you have to constantly monitor the underlying and manage the position. I work 9/5 so just not worth the trouble, this is still a hobby not a living.

Good for you! The people who were suggesting your new way of doing business back when you were doing your other things are right after all. Time shows what works and what does not.

You also do not have to deal with IB robots taking off your positions in after hours (adding this one so that you know I read what you wrote)
