📈 Maximizing Profits: Direct Options vs. Combo Strategies?

2024-06-06

Hi tigers, let's dive into the world of options trading! 🤑

With the recent bullish market, have you leveraged options to supercharge your profits?

When you're bullish on a stock's future, what's your move? Do you go for a direct 📈 Call purchase or sell a 📉 Put? Or do you opt for a more crafted option strategy?

Direct Options:

Direct one-way options can offer unlimited profit potential and capped losses, making them an attractive choice for those who see significant upside.

Combo Strategies:

On the other hand, combination strategies can provide a more balanced approach, allowing you to lock in risk or even amplify gains in a calculated manner."

The Discussion:

What's your preferred strategy? Which Is Your Play🎢

Ae you a fan of the straightforward route, or do you prefer the finesse of a well-thought-out strategy? Share your experiences and let's elevate our trading game together. 🤝

vertical spread can be used for lower margin... but I prefer directly sell puts. if option is ITM, can choose to get assigned or roll it out to get more premiums. if you sell the puts on good stocks and at support level, hard to lose.

Direct approach is the best. Some traders like to do straddle trades to limit losses. However, l only hedge individual stocks with indexs options. For example, if you buy call options for Nvidia and buy put options for SPY, you would make very good money even though u lose a bit on the SPY puts.
