$TSLA 20241220 160.0 PUT$ So in my journey to understand options, I'm doing well on buying calls, betting on Winners. This is just a demo trade so please don't be alarmed, no real money lost. But I think I have learned a valuable lesson here. 

Don't bet on something that even while you believe the stock is going to drop like a stone, other factors come into play. namely, too many big investors are in on it, and while they might be less bullish, there is no way they are getting out cause there's too much skin in the game. For now, I'll stick to buying call options, and will continue to hone my skills at betting on losers on the demo platform. This is truly a great part of the tiger trading platform. You really can test your strategy and refine it, before committing real coin.

Just do dumb stuff, or really good stuff with no consequences. I'm very experienced with investing in stocks, but I'm a true novice when it comes to options trades, I am learning so much using the demo account on tiger. I'm also starting to take technical trading seriously, I had discounted it for decades. But an old dog can learn new tricks. so now I can also use the demo account to test my understanding of technical trading

    如果您是看涨期权买家,您应该学习如何卖出垂直看跌期权,以获得看涨情绪的回报。

      谢谢你,迪迪博士,我现在已经明白了。不幸的是,我无法测试我的理论,因为模拟账户不支持我出售看跌期权。但非常感谢你让我注意到这一点。只要有机会,我就会小打小闹

      只有itm put可以行使

      我看到很多人如果看涨就会卖出看跌期权。但是否存在看跌期权买家突然决定行使的危险?有希腊指标可以检查这些情况吗?

      不幸的是,模拟账户不允许出售看跌期权,所以我不能练习。但谢谢你的建议,我会调查的

    Agreed with Drdeedee. You should to a sell put instead of buy call. Better to have smaller profit than big loss.
