Sujith I am new to this to
If U can predict a major turn U can buy option somewhere in direction you think
As price approaches option value increases dramatically but what to do? cash in and you cannot easily re-buy unless you get a big drop - options are cheapest where trend is against or flat. Volatility pushes up price
So you bet against option with a fraction of your position. Once in the money this fraction can be maybe 50%. Jim Sinclair says sell 1/3 into strength and maybe this is safer. To lock in profit say in overnight blowoff spike when options are not trading U can simply sell futures for 100% of options value. Now u r safe
At least that is my theory
Options = high premium but limited risk - not as liquid as futures
good trading post mentioning options Greg K
