Theta changes at
an exponential rate. In English, that means that the time value of any options
you’re holding will decay more quickly the closer those options are to
expiration. If you’re an option buyer, that means you want the move in the
underlying to happen sooner rather than later, because even if you’re right
about the direction of an underlying, those long calls you bought last month
might still be losers even if your stock makes a big move today, because once
you’re close to expiration there will be very little time premium left in those
calls....

LONG BUTTERFLY STRATEGY
Short two calls at the middle strike, and long one call each
at the lower and upper strike. The upper and lower strikes (wings) must
both be equidistant from the middle strike (body), and all the options must be
the same expiration.
Max
Loss
The maximum loss would occur should the underlying stock be
outside the wings at expiration.
Max
Gain
The maximum profit would occur should the underlying stock
be at the middle strike at expiration.
Profit/Loss
The potential profit and loss are both very limited. In
essence, a butterfly at expiration has a minimum value of zero and a maximum
value equal to the distance between either wing and the body. An investor
who buys a butterfly pays a premium somewhere between the minimum and maximum
value, and profits if the butterfly's value moves toward the maximum as
expiration approaches.....

POSITION TRADING
POSITION TRADING: that trading
method is used when the trader is going to make a decision within a given
context or certain criteria while INTRADAY TRADING is
strictly mechanical.
A Position Trader is going to
hold his position for a long time frame from months to years. It’s really a
safe way of investing with a relatively small amounts of capital.
DISADVANTAGE OF POSITION TRADING
Your trades might take months and the profits will only barely be able
to cover your cost of overhead.
Day Trader: This type of trader is more skilled and
flexible as Intraday trading requires experience – lots of it – especially
focusing on order entry techniques and a deep understanding of exit points as
he is trying to make profits from a small change in prices with rapid trades
during the trading day.
And usually he tries to close all his positions before the market closes
and doesn’t leave any open positions overnight. Intraday traders base their
trades on strategies such as Swing trading, arbitrage,
candlestick patterns and trend lines.....

CALENDAR OPTION SPREAD
The
calendar spread refers to a family of spreads involving options of the
same underlying stock, same
strike prices, but
different expiration months. They can be created
with either all calls or
all puts. Also known
as time spread or horizontal spread.
Call Calendar Spread
Using
calls, the calendar spread strategy can be setup by buying long term calls and simultaneously writing an equal number of
near-month at-the-money or
slightly out-of-the-money calls
of the same underlying security with
the same strike price.
The
idea behind the calendar spread is to sell time, which is why calendar spreads
are also known as time spreads. The options trader hopes that price of the
underlying remains unchanged at expiration of the near month options so that
they expire worthless. As the time decay of near month options is at a faster
rate than longer term options, his long term options still retain much of their
value. The options trader can then either own the longer term calls for less or
write some more calls and repeat the process....

Gold no longer a safe heaven – A major shift from precious metal to “Just a commodity”
Keep converting your useless physical Gold inventory to different asset
classes or just cash
“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make
a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.”Nature created human

to save nature , or just to spread awareness.“Mount

TIME DECAY IN OPTION
The ratio of the change in an option's price to the decrease
in time to expiration. Since options are wasting assets, their value declines
over time. As an option approaches its expiry date without being in the money,
its time value declines because the probability of that option being profitable
is reduced. Time decay is a crucial
component traders consider when deciding when/where to buy sell options.....
