Options should be used as a way of reducing your cost basis on shares of stock.
Stop buying calls and puts so aggressively that’s how most traders lose in the long run. If you do buy options use $SPY and have a 6-18 month time frame and trade what you don’t care about losing.
Options are designed either as a hedge or for premium selling around your stock position.
Once you accumulate 100 shares of stock you can start selling premium against them to increase your ROI.
You should use strategies like covered calls, ratio spreads, the wheel, covered strangles and collars.
I’ll have a post coming later on covered call basics.

@spluscollective Do you have a stat for only going into oneils rare high tight flags? Say you put the same money into these when they appear over 30 years?
