best options strategies for advanced beginners

It certainly is. lol

 

Yes, in that case don't bet the farm.

There is an old saying: hungry dog hunts best and you are not hungry.

 

ONLY trade strategies on the indexes, NEVER sell naked, you'll be lucky to make 3% p.a.

 

If you are a "decent" derivatives trader/market maker,options most certainly exist in a vacum.

And if you are a decent directional trader,Im not so sure why a newbie would want to trade options (other than leverage/punting/charitable contribution)

 

Suppose you are a directional trader who wants to be longer term invested, in my view one can use the longer expiration and convert the postion somewhat when you want to 'take tempory profits', or expect slower momentum* after a relatively large move. Or use t/g for creating spreads/calenders. Do you disagree with this?(really curious)


* ofcourse the assumption one can anyhow predict this beyond random, which can be a futile attempt

 

Does T/G stand for Theta / Gamma??

 

Question was about a beginner...why are you bringing up market making? You have to read comments in context...

Also I said in analyzing stocks, not in being a stock directional trader..... you got to read a little

 

Its beyond your scope and I read too much..

 

I know both of you. You both are good guys and both have quite a bit of experience in this field.

 

Who are you and what have you done with NWD?
