Every day I run open windows on 2 screens for NUGT/DUST, LABU/LABD and TVIX.
That is all I can keep track of and sometimes those not fast enough. LOL
Yes, options has it's own strategies, premium decay, expiration shenanigans, terminology and generally requires some understanding of company fundamentals, quarterly reports etc. Understanding end of Q earnings releases. Not to mention the TA.
It is why I stick to scalping the 3X etf's. One trader I know who is beginning to trade options is about 50/50 so far on trades. He didn't think the actual trading would be as hard. He is studying all the online tutorials he can find and asking all options traders he knows what to focus his learning on.
