“Unlocking the Secrets: IV vs. Theta”
For years, I believed theta held the key to success in options trading. Its allure was undeniable, with its promise of steady decay enhancing account value.
Yet, through rigorous testing, even simulated trading, the truth about theta emerges. It’s not the omnipotent force it’s often made out to be; rather, it’s akin to a mirage.
Many traders ponder the superiority of credit spread versus debit spread trading. The answer lies in experimentation. Try your hand at paper trading, exploring both in-the-money and out-of-the-money scenarios, and carefully document the outcomes.
Alternatively, delve into the realm of single strike transactions. Purchase a 20 delta and sell one, observing their reactions. Couple this with technical analysis to gain deeper insights.
Embark on this journey with curiosity and enthusiasm. Who knows where these discoveries will lead you?
