do you trade the options the same way u trade futures or is there a different trading style of trading options?
do holding the options give more returns than in intraday(in the duration u traded them)

Excellent question. :clapping: As you trade options by your self, how would you consider your way of option trading compare to future trading? Where do you see the different in your way of live option trading compare to live future trading? (Charts?, Time frames of your trades?, Time to expiration from the underlying future?, Volatility?, just to mention some points which are interesting to hear about from your side, as you seem to have experience in option trading)

Same here

in futures there is much of liquidity and fast movements compared to options.currently comfortable with options only ... As there is low liquidity in options(stock options) the trade has to be spot on to be profitable or you should be able to get out in time if it goes wrong.
(Charts?, Time frames of your trades?, Time to expiration from the underlying future?, Volatility?, just to mention some points which are interesting to hear about from your side, as you seem to have experience in option trading)
i always use futures chart for trading options. Tf in which i trade is 5min but also keep check on 30mins, 1hr, 4hr and 1 day. i always trade the near month options generally trade the stocks which are highly volatile(midcaps) as returns are great in them.

about interesting points i have noticed 1 thing about the stock options is that the market makers are really keen to be in the right positions and generally get rid of the bad or the options which are against trend you just have to look close to see the action it tells all the things which are going to happen :lol:

Interesting point. I always thought that option market makers are hedged and do not care about any trend.
