Ok everybody, lets just let the chart do the talking. Open SPX, or SPY, (or the VIX or VIXY I guess if you are trading volatility?) and post what...
If you go long an option, right away you are down the spread, down the premium, down the fees, and the clock has started ticking on your time...
It's more like passing a hot potato than a casino. Give me an example of a 6 month option that you think count be profitable.
Yes I have mentioned that for all the bad press 0-3 dte's get they are actually the better choice versus longer expiry longs, and don't get me...

That's the point. It IS a rabbit hole if you are not using them as intended originally to compliment a stock position. I am still waiting to be...
What are you trading? DTE? What's your trading plan for the upcoming week? Sounds like a broken wing butterfly...
