Is there any advantage for trading options.?
I mean how much money can i make more than as normal trading![]()
Can i trade options on all markets ?
If the option expires, do i lose all my money ?
Lets say the GBPUSD moves 200p in one week and i buy options (that are then "calls", right ?, call = long, put = short ?),
so how much more could i make, what the leverage factor ?
Why should i do that ? Only if its making me a lot, a lot more money ?
I know when markets do big moves, all kind of markets, stocks, etfs, FX, Futures.
But in FX and Futures i have huge leverage.
So Bob, tell me please, what would be my advantage, to learn that options stuff.
thanx

Option buyers are fighting an uphill battle. To win you must be correct on (1) direction, (2) size of move, and (3) time frame. To get all 3 correct consistently enough to prevail overall is a tall order. (Perhaps this is why option writers are the statistical winners.. )

More infos please.
Feed my brain, please, i need it now. i am horny to learn.
So what, if no. 2 or 3 is not correct ?
Can i go out of the options position at any time, what would be the profit/loss ?
OK: Imagine.
I bet, that some market will move minimum to a certain price in one week.
What can i gain ?
Is it so, that the more i am correct in this 3 things, the more can i make ?
What is alpa, beta, gamma ?

just look at the % change. with 90% win why waste your precious time,like i do, sitting,scrapping pennies and dimes for decades...go with options. you can be billionaire in a month or so.
those JCP calls are good example. you bought your calls couple days ago at 0.3x100=$30 per contract. your initial $1000/30=33 calls. yesterday EOD they worth 3.55 each. so your initial $1K became almost 11K in one day. now take your 11K and hit the jackpot once again and your 11K will became 11M. very simple. all it takes-2 trades
