Why don't you show us instead the high-school math needed to solve this "making-money-with-options" issue. Far as I understand it, an option is a future, but becomes 5D chess. I buy a call option with a strike price of 50 on Jan 1st when the stock price is 50, expiring on June 1st. So I think the stock price will be higher than 50 by June 1st. Where does the high-school math come in? Please, remember, you are going to explain that trade with high-school math. Golden retriever shit.
Uh huh. So high school math is your edge against the billions of dollars of options trades that happen every day just at the CBOE. You have no edge. High-school math is not an edge.
By the example you gave, you are not even high school level. First go and graduate hs. All you can think of is buying an option and selling an option like stocks. You need to evolve above that to learn options which is impossible for your brain.
I certainly am. But at least I have some work to show for it. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/and-they-have-a-plan-live.306838/ Where is your journal? You sit there and claim that options trading is just high-school math. Meanwhile there a people who are paying 4 figures to attend Dest's seminars to get better at their craft. So obviously, you have neither... A) Read my journal nor... B) Applied more than high-school math to your options trading. YOU are the one who said everyone is over-complicating it. So why don't you simplify it for us? I'd like to understand how high-school math is your edge?
