As an amateur still learning, I'm not really very comfortable
buying options, as I can't tell like you can when they are
cheap/expensive, good bets/lousy bets. Next time when you
post (and thank you for doing so), I will try to investigate it and
maybe also p.m. you about it.
totally agree . was not my plan to use options as still learning
as well but have to adjust. other option is to buy vix
protection ( vxx or tvix)in opposite direction of trade. sure wish
I did that in summer. live and learn.
Could also keep it simpler and reduce total $$ at risk (but not
%) by using call/put options for the trade from the start -- what
happened to our friend that was tracking that?
