Techniques you are using for Trading Options

[Apened]

I don't tried and trade options but for techniqyes it is the same as normal trading, you have to rely on fundamentals and technical analysis more often. Always do check the charts and learn to have some skills in TA for you to analyze and have an idea what position you may be able to open that will help you earn.

Trading BTC is easy.
Trading BTC in a profitable manner is very difficult.
Trading options is difficult.
Trading options in a profitable manner is extremely difficult.
Trading BTC options in a profitable manner requires black belt in trading.

Good luck with that.
~snip~

Which is exactly the reason why Im looking for strategies to make trading options much more profitable. Trading Options isnt hard but trading options for maximizing profitability can be hard. You could use options trading as an insurance to make sure your BTC price is safeguarded when shorted. I was looking for more than that.

I wouldn't say trading options is more difficult than trading BTC with futures or margin trading. It's just a little bit more complicated. The big advantage of options is you don't need to borrow funds to get a leverage, so you don't spend expensive fees for that. The other advantage is you know the exact day you'll be liquidated.  

Singapore.

So I don't think it's required by law overthere. COSS exchange is also based in Singapore and KYC is not mandatory on this platform.

Well I think leverage is something very easy to understand and manage, while exposure to time to maturity, exposure to volatility in the underlying and non linearity in the payout (options characteristics not present in futures) are fare more challenging from a trading point of view.

I only use technical analysis, but I don't fully understand it. only taking part of the core. look at chart patterns, make lines, RSI, look for the highest and lowest points. Bolinger, before buying I always draw first, to determine the purchase price, and the selling price. besides trading does not use emotions, because it can make me lose.

People are also exposed to volatility when they trade with leverage. Everyday people are liquidated because of volatility.

Besides technical analysis we have to up to date with the news because in cryptocurrency news can really affected the price and also controlling emotions is hard due to many whales are playing with the market price that can make us panic with the market price

What I meant option prices are dependent on volatility, while futures prices are not.
If Bitcoin is trading at 10,000 a future price is the same when volatility is at 20% or when it is at 80%.
The same is not true for options.
If Bitcoin is trading at 10,000 option prices (all of them) will be lower when volatility is at 20% compared to prices if volatility were at 80%.
Volatility is adding another risk factor to options trading.

Same for all the others factors I mentioned (time etc...)

I personally only use techniques with take profit 2-3% target for each transaction, Of course it can only be done by daily traders because you have to really focus on market price movements. Besides that you also need to learn 2 other techniques, technical and fundamental analysis.

I never follow your technique because we never expect 2 to 3 percentage of daily target. Normally market will move forward or backward at anytime so really traders are change it will start backward. Because they know how we maintain the each transaction so secret techniques are never explain anyone.

You're free to take into account the IV and Theta, or not. It's only the extrinsic value, but at the end of the day your option will only worth its intrinsic price. So if you think an option is overvalued compared to its final value, you're free to not buy it and if you think it's undervalued you're free to buy a good opportunity. Trading options can be as simple as that.

[Innocant]

I would really love to share every details to you.
But this thread lacks the opportunity to tell it all.
What I mean is, we lack the time and also it will be better to be told in person.

It was hard to tell that in person need more time for that, If we tell it in person maybe we should pay us for our time to teach them.
And Must better to read and search in here if we want more to learn about in trading, Actually there are lots of information in here that we want know about trading.

I do it manually, that means I am monitoring the crypto trade industry from time to time, which not all do. Some have their bots which will just automatically do things for them.

That's normal for us if we do trading doing it manually and monitor if our coins we want to trade are in a high price or not.

I think no one will have a techniques that produced 2-3% each trade. It's not impossible to do but it's very rare maybe you will lose more than 2-3% each trade also, but you have to be great to maintain your losses and make sure your profits is more than your loss. Even if you focused on the market movement it's impossible for you to make sure profits 2-3% from you trades because you could not predict the price movement will go where.

Hey guys, I would like to know what strategies/ techniques you are using for trading options. Especially in the Crypto market. I'm looking to experiment with trading options but Im just a vanilla trader. Would like to learn more from our fellow traders on what their practices is, when it comes to trading Options. TIA.

There are lots of strategies but what most see as best is HODLing for this is the most famous startegy, this is an abbreviation that means 'holding on for dear life' initially started during 2013. This strategy is about holding on to your coins for a long period of time hoping that in the long run the price would kick-off up to the price it reached during 2018. Every strategies has a downside, so as HODLing, so the success of you trade still relies on you. It still essential if you understand bitcoin market, choose wisely how you would trade, make a trading plan and manage your risks.

Trading options as expiry trades, neglecting Time Value and considering only Intrinsic Value I would say it's a suboptimal strategy.
You are completely neglecting part of the value (Time value) you paid for in the option.

The fundamental and technical analysis will help but it will not give accurate results. So, never rely on this technique because it might lead you from losing your fund. How did you know to gain profit between 2-3% a day which is you don't know the movement in crypto of the market. The fact that no one technique gives a long term profit in trading, that is still predicting the market. My technique is using trading bot and tools for my technical analysis.

[TinaK]

When there is the investment at the same time you need to plan where you need to invest and which coins will be the best investment for you.
Then you may for long term trading and day trading based on the amount have plan on them.
Please look the other trading how they doing with using the telegram community.

Even if you focused on the market movement it's impossible for you to make sure profits 2-3% from you trades because you could not predict the price movement will go where.

Technical analysis is based on probabilities, so even if you have all the luck in the world to score a sick winning streak, that luck will run out at some point and you'll be starting to lose again.

I some times see people consider themselves to be a pro trader because they have had so much luck that their first 10 or so trades were profitable, but then ended up losing their initial trading balance because their luck ran out.

If you don't know why you are losing trades, you will try out some other strategy without knowing if it is any good because you're super desperate for a win, so you're essentially gambling again.... you know what happens next.
