|
|
Golden Rule of Option Trading:
"If your option portfolio loses over 10% of its value within a week, then move your portfolio 100% into cash, and don't trade for a week."
This is to avoid losing most of your gains in "irrational" markets, which can wipe out months or even years of work within a few weeks. Markets seem to become unpredictable once a year.
If the rule isn't followed, then the next best alternative is to trade options with "several extra months of time value." |
