If asked where to start with options, I'd start explaining:
Trading stocks is trading straight lines. Trading options is trading curves.
A stock's P&L is a 45-degree line. An option bends, and the bend shifts as time and vol move.
Most of the rest follows from getting that.
@tradinghustlr the within 20% of highs filter is underrated, keeps you out of falling knives. you sending the break or waiting for the base to tighten first?
@options_insight curves not lines is the cleanest framing i've heard. what wrecks most beginners is the bend shifting overnight from theta. that the trap you see most?
