Stockpredictor, can you detail on this? If price isn't trending are options cheaper? I hear writing options is more profitable but the win rates seem so much bigger buying?
No, I meant that if price isn't moving well enough in your favor, buying options will lose you money because movement must overcome the decay. Selling options is akin to selling lotto tickets- you can make money more often but losses can destroy you. Again, just look at how prices behave for a while and you'll get an intuitive grasp on it- it's one of those things.
