Non Directional Weekly Options Trading System - ETF & Emini

Define options as contracts to buy or sell an underlying instrument, and explain how price depends on volatility, strike, and expiry, including American and European options, calls and puts.

Explore layman definitions of call and put options, rights and obligations, and how expiration, deposits, and premiums shape simple option contracts.

Under the day trading rule, four or more day trades in five days label you a day trader, with a three-trade limit; under 25,000, restrictions do not apply.

Choose the expiry and option type based on bullish outlook, comparing short-term and long-term calls, in the money versus out of the money, and cost considerations.

Compare option buyers and option sellers, focusing on debit versus credit trades and time decay. See how sellers profit from time decay even when the market moves against them.

Master short strangle on weekly options to collect premium through time decay, targeting range-bound markets by selling out-of-the-money calls and puts for 2-4% monthly returns.
