When to Cut Losses Trading Options

Here is the link.

"Cut your losses small and let your winners run"... If only it really were that easy. Trust me, it isn't. Check out this video if you ever struggle about where to cut losses. What you learn is probably different than what you've ever seen online but that's a good thing, as 90% of traders actually lose money because they listen to bad (usually free) advice...

Market order - BID -> ASK, bad idea using a market order

Limit order

Mental stop - Exit position and take a loss

Probability of touch
Probability ITM

How do we manage risk?
Small uncorrelated risk

Key takeaways

  1. Be patient with your losing trades;
  2. Be aggressive with taking profits
  3. Trade small enough to have the flexibility to let your positions play out. 
  4. Stay active by putting on more uncorrelated positions.
