IgorM:

sorry, I feel like "questioning" the options earning witness - googling, reading, and am amazed that there is so much info on the forums this year about the profitability of options trading - it just doesn't happen that easily

BLACK_BOX - yes! You wrote what I suspected.

it's just that this year it's a "trendy" topic ;) but there have always been.

And very often what they pass off as options is not... In fact, the option is a betting instrument, and what they put out under the guise of fashionable "digital" options - are their personal options contracts. And you might as well do it :)))))))))))))))))

 
yosuf:
Look above, please explain the viciousness of this approach. What is it that YOU don't like to sell all the time?
Well, speculators don't like constantly selling, for example, the dollar against the yen, the loonie or the franc. You can remain inseparable friends with that short for the next 10 years with a fairly high probability, following your "policy".

how do you know if a broker lets you trade "true options" ?

well again to your rejection: no need to predict movement, risks remain - where's the profit in options ?

Then buy them at the right time, without stopping to sell.

Options have probably increased in popularity because of the high market volatility of recent years, where their use (especially in structured products) has increased the effectiveness of strategies.

Hmmm, definitely - thanks, but only for the interest shown, sorry, but searching gets me nowhere and I thought you were one of the authorities on this forum

thanks again

If you want to make a profit no matter where the price goes, trade options.
Another illusion...

This conversation doesn't fit in this thread in any way, basically I'm flubbing :)
