As in the title, when I first came into contact with options, I was thinking: is there any universal, one-size-fits-all option selection method?
After nearly a year of learning+practice, I can responsibly tell you that this is a false proposition。
The options market is like a martial arts novel by Mr. Jin Yong. There are 65 martial arts factions in the entire martial arts, involving 481 types of martial arts. It is obviously whimsical to compete for supremacy in martial arts with one move.
But in this martial arts game, everyone can find a faction that suits them and find a routine that suits them。
Some people like to use options to profit and lose a lot; others like to use options to hedge and use the low cost losses of options to guarantee portfolio profits; others like to use options to earn pocket money, have a high win rate and low profit, and rely on time to accumulate profits...
Therefore, no matter which method of selecting options, it is impossible to be completely universal.Before choosing an option, it's more important to determine your investment style.
Here's what I didbuyerWhen choosing the four dimensions of options, for everyone's reference and entertainment only. If you have any objections, please have a friendly discussion in the comments section。
Catalogue:
1. Select the lower level target
II. In Price & Out of Price
3. Call & put
4. How to consider the Greek alphabet
1. Lower-level targets
As a buyer, I prefer to chooseA target with a large number of traders, strong liquidity, and high volatility。
With a large number of traders and strong liquidity, it is relatively easy to open and close options positions. It can effectively prevent options from being profitable but not being hit by the transaction.
And being a buyer is most afraid of the target capital...
