There is nothing wrong with giving up on something that doesn't work, or works but not very efficient. Sometimes, time and effort invested is just not worth carrying on. I would really appreciate if @Sweet Bobby would share as to why.
Options are only good in strong trending markets, anything slow and the time decay even when right still wastes your profits. I guess sideways markets, use the decay and switch to selling OTM options. 17years since I traded options, did GREAT then blew account over night fun mind!! ( in a staring at the floor trying not to be sick kinda way for hours and hours )
