A Thread on How to NOT do blunders while selling Options. 🧵🪡

1. Never be Greedy in a High Vix Environment.

Sellers selling OTM get lured by higher premiums and sell near ATM or more than they usually do, this will burn your hand as High premiums also mean that you will end up giving higher premium back than usual as soom as it spikes.


2. Hope

Hope drives a man crazy and this is true for trading the most, hoping for a reversal to cut the pain. Humans have a tendency to avoid the pain and one does not accept the pain by not booking a loss

Tom Hougaard explains this well below.

3. Not having a setup in non directional Selling

You cannot make money long term if you don’t have a set of rules or adjustments in place already if you are trading long term. Make a plan or a system so that you always know how to survive. Your Position is non D not the market.


4. Getting Egoistic

Many people think they are supreme because they are selling options much likely because of the Trend on Twitter in the community,
You are a trader think like one and remain one trading a certain way does not make you better.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
