Stocks & Commodities V. 26:4 (67): Futures For You by Carley Garner
Product Description
Futures For You by Carley Garner
OPTIONS OR FUTURES?
Should I be trading commodity options or commodity futures?
This is a difficult question to answer because it is a decision that traders must make based on their tolerance for risk, their personality, and trading style. However, it is my opinion that in general, option trading is the optimal choice.
I am not referring to long option–only strategies, although sometimes they are appropriate. Instead, I believe that option selling or option spread trades that involve both long and short options are preferential. We all agree that the key to successful trading is putting probabilities in your favor. Going against the grain or taking long shots may pay out at times, but it isn’t likely to be a viable long-term approach.
