Why I Focus on Options Trading
Most traders overlook options — and I think that’s a missed opportunity.
Here’s why I prefer options over spot or futures:
1. Defined Risk
I know my maximum loss before entering any trade. No surprises, no liquidation nightmares.
2. Leverage Without Liquidation
Options give you exposure to large moves with a fraction of the capital — without the risk of getting liquidated like in futures.
3. Asymmetric Returns
A small premium can turn into significant gains when the market moves in your favor. These three positions returned +55%, +44%, and +18%.
4. Strategic Flexibility
Bullish? Buy calls. Bearish? Buy puts. Expecting volatility? There’s a strategy for that too.
The question is:
With all these advantages, why do so few traders explore options?
Maybe because it requires deeper understanding. But those who take the time to learn discover a completely different trading game.
What’s holding you back from trying options?
