Thank you so much on publishing “understanding options”， I really need it and will read it after market close. thx, Sam
Agreed! I am keen to better understand it!
I’ve decided to write a chapter on it. It’ll be posted after Chapter 3 is fully completed. Chapter 4 will cover an introduction to options.
$5,000 to $1 Million Challenge:
I have never traded options, nor have I ever bought options, puts, or calls. Does this mean I will be at a disadvantage in following this challenge? Will you be providing detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to participate? If I’m eager to learn like outline above and willing to follow along, will there be any resources or support offered to help subscribers like myself who are new to options trading to not be behind?
Hi Yaovi — so the $5k to $1M challenge would be nearly impossible to accomplish without the use of options. The trade we make in the challenge could be theoretically followed through tracking the underlying stock. For example, if we make trades in Nvidia options, then it relates directly to Nvidia and Nvidia leveraged ETFs.
In terms of resources in learning options trading, there are countless resources and tutorials online. A few google searches or discussions with ChatGBT can get you acquainted.
It is relatively advanced stuff but isn’t terrible difficult to learn. I’d start by checking out some YouTube tutorials and/or google searches.
Look up “introduction to call options” through Google and YouTube. They’ll have a lot of tutorials covering the topic.
Hey, thanks for that introduction to options!
So for the challenge: do you aim for about 100% return for each of the trades? And is it a kind of do or die deal where if a trade starts to go sideways you will just hold to see if it recovers? Or do you take context into account? Feels like a bit of stupid question:)
