옵션 거래가 왜 이렇게 부정적으로 볼까요? 🤔

As with anything else in life, depends what you're actually doing. If you're buying 0DTE's, probably not a great idea. If you're selling covered calls, that's often times a decent idea.

Every options trader starts with ‘defined risk’ and ends with ‘how did I lose 80% in 3 days?

You can be down 100% and in a day or two that same -100% position could go to +300% if you watch the tape alot of the times MM manipulate the options pretty bad. Updating or not updating based on stock price then once they scoop up all your cheap calls.. update it you can also be wise that options will tell you where the price will eventually go.. will wall street allow 400k calls itm when it's 102 and the calls strike is 101? Absolutely not.. lol don't bet against wall streets greed. And to all the fools that say it's a free market next time mark stock prices where OI is through the roof and come back to tell me what YOU see.. bookmark this post for when you finally see it.

Good luck out there the only other thing I'll mention is this... your a human trading against a bunch of machines... the only way to beat them day to day is swing trading and cut losses early unless they pulverize it in the middle of the night like they did Thursday night into Friday morning... wall street has had AI for 20 years and we're just now getting it . So you can imagine how smart those algos are.. ALSO PFOF they can literally SEE in REAL TIME all retails orders are... that is an edge that I can't even explain to people enough how they can physically lose with that edge it's almost an impossibility

Its frowned on because the culture surrounding them is bad.

Option trading is generally frowned on, because most option traders don’t understand why prices move, how much they move, what to trade and why would you risk money when you are trading with people a lot smarter than you.

Well if you are buying options with cash than yes you can’t lose more than what you put in, if you are selling them or using margin then you can lose much more than what you put in.

Most people don't understand what they're really for, and the consequences.

Derivatives aren’t meant for the brand new retail trader, let’s just be honest.

Because most people are in fact brand new retail traders, wealth advisors and the banking industry in general is going to frown upon them *so their clients don’t burn 80% of their AUM* on 0dte puts.

Banks and Advisors get paid off that AUM.

Size for zero if buying and learn to sell 4 income

>Why are options so frowned upon ?

Because it is brought to you by the same people, who say day trading is gambling.

Usually the warning is simply, that options are more 'risky' so you need to size your position not according to size but the actual risk you take. Since this is usually how you should /must size your positions anyway, that warning is usually simplified and directed to only beginners.

If beginners trade options, chances are higher that they blow their accounts quicker than trading stocks due to the different risk profile but if you size according to risk, there of course is barely a difference to make.

So in a general sense.

Buying options are frowned upon because it complicates what should be a simple directional trade.

Because you have to be right on direction and in enough time before the theta decay eats you. Also there is the ever present volatility crush.

Basically trending markets are popular with calls and puts and the the option that goes in the trend direction is usually inflated in price compared to its counterpart.

You end up paying for hype value which can deflate your value later when you try to sell.


A stop loss also limits your risk.


A good alternative is to do what I do.
I use a protective put.
Or sometimes called synthetic call.

Where I pair a future with a long put to imitate a call.

In doing it this way I get the limited risk but the money making leg of the trade doesnt suffer from Greeks.

I’ll put it a different way than others here. Options add an additional “price” on top of a stocks actual trading value along with more complexity on how and when a contract is settled. They can also obscure the actual amounts of money you are risking if you are on the sell side. I don’t frown on options as I make a good amount of money from them but you really need to understand all the concepts before putting real money into it.

If you frame options as a hedging tool (which they are) it’s perfectly legitimate.

if you trade them as a tool to leverage your returns well that requires you to be sophisticated enough to hedge against them but people often trade them similarly to a stock and they wonder why an option contracts could directionally go in their favor and they still lose money

As with anything else if you do not know what you are doing you can lose it all. Amy trading requires proper risk management and selection. I have done all of them and prefer futures but it depends on your edge and your emotions. And in last six months this is the easiest market ever so don’t think you are smart or you too will lose money. No technique is 100 percent and overnight news can kill you.

Depends on what you’re doing with them. Full port into a 0DTE is not your play.

Build your account until you can make a living selling CSPs and then wheeling to ccs

Options get a bad rap because newbies often chase high-risk, high-reward strategies without understanding the underlying mechanics. 0DTE options are inherently volatile and can lead to quick losses. With proper risk management and strategy, they can be lucrative, but most traders lack the discipline or knowledge.

I have most of my money in shares and trade options with a portion of my money. I’d say the most important factor is to think about how much it will hurt to lose a trade, and adjust your sizing accordingly.

With securities you can liquidate a bad trade and get some money back.

With options that go the wrong way sometimes you cant liquidate and take 100% loss. 

Option losses hurt way more than security losses IMO.

Because you can lose more than your initial investment.
