Hey fellow traders! 🎯
We all remember the thrill (and maybe a bit of fear) when we first dove into the world of options trading. The ups, the downs, the “ah-ha!” moments, and the “what just happened?” times. 🤯
So, here’s the deal: If you could give just ONE piece of advice to someone who’s just getting started with options trading, what would it be? Whether it’s a strategy that’s saved you, a lesson learned the hard way, or just some ...

TLDR: People who say options are all highly leveraged and super risky, are like people who say that investing is super risky. They don't understand the tool fully, and have a selection bias based on stories of people losing it all in the market. Investing can be super risky (by picking leveraged ETF like $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$ or $ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF (SQQQ.US)$), but it can be super safe too (by pickin...

If you are buying option contracts, do give yourself more time. Holding on to option contracts is like holding on to ice cubes - they will melt as time goes by. You will lose out to Theta (time decay).
To add on, learn to take profits off the table when you can because nobody will go poor by taking profits, even if the profits ain’t a lot. Don’t be too greedy.

TLDR: Knowing how time decay works, the rule of thumb that I used for choosing an option's expiration date is: 1. If I'm selling an option, I choose an expiration date that is around 30 days. 2. If I'm a buyer of an option, I choose an expiration date that is more than 1 year.

squirrel in my pants : Take good control of your positions is very important, and never all in![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
Edwar Dli : Protecting your position with options instead of making money with it
Mandarine : I am a new joiner here, I do have my personal experience to share: for options players, I personally think the selling point is more important. Options are different from stocks. Options trading can lose a lot of money in a short period of time![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
, so it is important to stop losses in time.
Dot Len : Don't dive in headfirst. Begin with small positions to understand how options work and always make sure you grasp the fundamental concepts before making larger trades![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
Ousit : Always have a risk management strategy in place. Only risk what you can afford to lose and consider setting stop-loss orders to protect your investments![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
