Option trading may be daunting for beginning traders, but with the right
foundation and a gradual investment of funds, you can expect to see
significant returns. Here are a few tips to help you make smart investment
decisions.
Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose. Make intelligent decisions
about what you can afford to invest. Selling Options is an excellent way to
define your risk. You can determine how much risk you want per trade.
You will receive option premium for every option you sold. Do not trade too
big, that is do not sell many contracts. Start slowly, trade option spreads to
reduce your risk. Once you have realized gains from trades, you can begin
to reinvest those gains which have now become your principal.
Do not trade if you don't have time to research. Options trading should be
approached as a part-time job. If you like to succeed you need to invest time
to learn how to trade options and what strategies to apply. Otherwise let
your capital be handled by a fund manager.
No quick get rich scheme. Imagine we are playing at a basketball court. Ill
give you $100 only when you score 10 times at a row. Or you can choose to
throw the ball 10 times and Ill give you $10 for each time you score. If you
are decent in scoring than you choose to make the 10 smaller shots that
reduces the effect of an unlucky bounce can have on the unlucky outcome.
So, we choose to enter option strategies with high probability of success
and enough option premium.
Trading in small positions has the same benefit on your portfolio. The ideas
behind this approach is that if each of your trade uses the same strategic
logic you create the same probability of success. It makes sense that you
allocate for each trade the same amount of money. Read more -- The
importance of capital allocation
Diversify your investments. While stocks offer the attraction of seemingly
easy money, they are unreliable sources of income. You only have 50%
chance of making money. With trading options you can sell options for
option premium and choose several strategies with a high probability of
profit. If you choose different high POP trades you will consistently make
money.
Companies who needs money to expand their business can go to the bank
for a loan or issue Stock Options.
Options have two similar buy slightly distinct meanings in everyday use.
The first use is in the sense of employee stock options. And the second use
is that stock options are traded on an exchange.
An employee stock option usually grants the employee the right to buy
shares of the company at a discounted price. Companies frequently issue
Stock Options to employees for a variety of reasons.
as an incentive for the employee to help improve the company's
profitability
to encourage them to stay with that company
to help improve the employee's loyalty and commitment, and
to give them a sense (however small it might really be) of ownership.
Stock options became popular as incentives to employees of publicly traded
companies. If you worked at IBM and IBM stock was at $90 a share, you
might have been given stock options to buy 100 shares of the IBM stock at
$95 a share by December. Since the stock was currently at $90 and you had
an right to buy the stock at $95, the option is worthless.
The idea with employee stock options is that owning them does provide an
incentive for you to help get the stock up to $100. If in December the stock
is less than $95 you would never exercise your call and buy the stock--it
would just expire worthless; but if the stock was at $95.01 or higher then
you would exercise it and buy the stock at $95. Now you see why it is an
"option". For call options, if the stock price is below the "exercise" price then
you don't have to, nor should you, exercise it.
Likewise, when you own a put option you can sell the stock at the strike
price until option expiration. If the current market price of the stock is
higher than the strike price of the put option, then you would not exercise
the put option. If you choose to buy the stock, it is called "exercising" the
stock options. If you choose not to buy the stock, the stock options are said
to have "expired."
We like to sell options in order to receive option premium. It give you better
odds to close options for profits.

Purpose
Obviously, the main purpose of any sort of trading is to make money!
However, as any trader knows, as soon as there is money at stake, emotions
have a nasty habit of clouding the trader's judgement and causing him or
her not to act in his best interest. By knowing which stock options to select,
the entry and exit points, a mechanical trading system (MTS) is supposed to
help the trader overcome this perennial blight of emotion. With emotions
eliminated from individual trades the trader may be in a stronger position
than one who does not have fixed rules to blindly follow and is this said to
be at the mercy of caprice, fear and greed.
Advantages
A MTSs is used to ensure returns and remain consistent over several
market conditions.
Provide objective rules to follow. Traders who are apt to trade on a whim,
or out of boredom, or because they think they know where the market is
going can use an MTS to avoid making costly errors. We typically close
positions when we make 25-50% profit.
Disadvantages
Back testing does not mean that a MTS will have no loses.
The market has a habit of ironing out the anomalies that may allow MTSs
temporarily to work.
Very dull to trade, no intellectual stimulation. Trader becomes
superfluous once the data mining, research and testing is completed.
Low win rate, inefficiency, failure to respond to market paradigm shifts

The next key is to learn, practice and master your trading edge so the
probability grows higher and higher and with it the profits as well!
Theta Decay
Theta measures how much value an option will lose each day due to the
passage of time as the option gets closer to expiration. This is known as
theta decay or time decay. Each day that passes a small amount of time
value ticks away. Theta is the measurement that quantifies that. And you
can literally see how much it'll lose each day even if the underlying stock is
unchanged. These options has a high possibility of profit.
Being long options, whether that's buying a call or a put, means the Theta is
working against you. However, there are many different strategies where
theta can work for you. Those strategies entail selling options aka writing
options, i.e., being short options, either calls or puts, in combination with
your longs.
Most used strategy is to Sell out of the money options so that you receive
option premium. Out of the money options will expire worthless if the
underlying does not reach the strike price.
Mean Reversion
Entering options when they are at an price extreme is another way to create
an traders edge. When the prices of stocks are dropping it causes extra fear
with investors. Therefore the price of the option prices are most of the
times overstated. Mean reversion is simply the fact that investments can
trade far above or far below their long-term average returns for periods of
time, but in the end they eventually tend to move back towards their
average. The phrase reversion to the mean refers to a statistical concept
that high and low prices are temporary and a price will tend to go back to its
average over time. We seek out options that are at an price extreme. We are
selling options who moved much or at an all time high or low. Most of the
time these options has a high IV.
Conclusion
Traders want to have an edge in trading. We discussed how you can create
an edge in three ways. You Sell options to receive Option Premium. Making
use of theta decay. Of course you choose options with enough premium.
When sold at a price extreme you know that they will revert to the mean.
And you seek out options that far enough out of the money so that they
expire worthless.
