Stock price of 1,000 directly affects my ability to execute my options strategy. Options are sold in lots of 100 shares, therefore I cannot buy just 1 share. Also, the option price is correlated to the stock price. Therefore a high stock price means I cannot sell a put without taking excessive risk. If I can only afford say 50 shares (due to the high stock price) then my liquidation risk increases.
Got a legendary trader badge... probably means I trade too much, but it has kept my portfolio growing relatively well and consistently. Happy to get this recognition.
