So you think that wedge is a bull flag. Why not write puts? Just asking. That's what I would do.

you can write puts and use proceeds to load up calls. I just do leap calls.

I see. I got out of options because I had too much trouble legging out of my positions. Got spoiled by FX I guess.

thanks for a heads up. I think I can manage. I trade up to 500 call option contracts every week (AAPL).

One of the worst things about mt4 is that I never did find a Point and Figure chart indie that worked correctly. Maybe I did not look hard enough, who knows, but it is good that there a couple of traders here who are real students of the market.

Now if you long calls how do you deal with time decay? That is why I started writing. I could never get that right.

That's why I play DITM leap calls only - further out in time. And you need access to institutional options order flow for timing.

Okay, my pockets are not deep enough to for that. I do know that DITM leap calls are proxy for owning the stock, but since Jobs died, I just don't know if the upcoming CEO's can make the stock move enough so that theta does not get me in the end. I was reduced to knowing that I have enough money in my accounts to never die in FX, and I just collect pennies and see what they add up to at the end of the year. I trade a don't care size, but I am not up at night worrying about hope and change. I admire any options players. While I never lost money, the stress was just too much. And this is with standard options being 45-60 days out.

If I ever go back it will be like Nassim Taleb, and just buy DOTM calls or puts and wait for the black swan. So kudos to you, bro, I am glad I subbed you.

I don't know much about options but if i want to try options, that will be due to its neutral strategies such as straddle or strangle. If i know there will be some volitility and price movement, for example using ADX, but i don't know its direction, they could be useful. More than 15 years ago, a Korean trader made over 200 million dollars trading Kospi200 options. Reportedly, he used strangle strategy based on his macro ecomonic fundemental studies....

One of my favorite options strategies. No need to pick a direction.
