Hi there, I take a lot into account, as a good trader should: Macro view, fundamentals, expiry coordination, cyclical/defensive nature, characteristic and history of stock, statistics on stock {short interest, etc.}, catalysts and news articles and sentiment, options optimization {IV, strike selection, math on payouts and cost, etc.} and more {a little bit of technicals to time entry and hold levels}. I hold for usually one to two weeks, I also plan on some long term positions with LEAPS, I'm definitely going long term on LEAPS with Gold, but I usually trade equity options, right now I'm long TDOC, short BA, long YETI, among others. Join up let's share ideas!!What are you trading options on? What is your average holding period? What type of analysis do you do?
