Options Trading and Time Management

Author: Gavin McMaster

Do you ever find there is not enough hours in the day? Do you find there is so much to learn about investing that you feel overwhelmed? I have a strategy to help. This is something that will be very useful for people starting out in investing who feel they are just overloaded with information. The theory goes, that you should only concentrate on learning things that will make a difference to you now, things that you can put into action now.

When I first started investing and options trading, I was so excited by everything like all the different strategies you could trade. I bought heaps book off Amazon on every topic available to do with the stock market, options trading or investing. You name it, and I probably have it! There is just so much information out there it really does take years for beginners to learn most of it.

If you’re starting out and finding it hard to find the time to learn everything, just try to focus on those things that will make a difference to your trading today. One thing I did when I was starting out was sign up for all these different newsletter, email services, and various trading tutorials. But pretty soon I was suffering from information overload and was getting disheartened. I kept thinking to myself “There’s just so much to learn and I don’t have the time”.

If you find yourself in this situation, try the time management technique of simply focusing on the things that will make a difference to you right now. Any time an email arrives in your inbox, think to yourself, does this apply to me today? Will this help improve my trading today? If it does, great, go through it in detail, but if not simply file it away to read in the future. If your trading plan is to trade covered calls, learn everything you can about this strategy before moving on. Sure, information about stochastics, moving average convergence divergence, volatility trading, delta neutral trading, iron condors etc. might be interesting, but if it’s not going to make a big difference to your trading today, file it away to read later when you have more time and when it will actually make a difference to your trading.

I hope you found this useful, I’ve been applying this to my options trading and also other walks of life over the last few weeks and I’ve found it has made a huge difference to my productivity levels.

  3. Angry American says:

    There are many different ways to trade stock options and people use different systems, but which one is really good and will bring in reliable profits? Or is this even possible?

  4. Angry American says:

    Option Vue?
    Options Xpress?
    Think or Swim?
    other?

  6. Angry American says:

    There really isn’t such thing as a “best broker”. Every broker has their pros and cons. Brokers that charge more commissions usually have better service and system while brokers with extremely low commissions usually have very user-unfriendly interface.

    Since it usually doesn’t take any cash to open a broker account these days, I would advise you do a complete research on all of them in order to see what works best for you.

    The site below contains a list of the top options brokers…

  7. RossenTrono says:

    Post what consistently works for you.
    What do you look for and how do you trade it?

  8. InspectorBudget says:

    I use Strangles, and occasionally Butterfly.

  9. Angry American says:

    I just learned about iron condors and double calendars but which one should I use since I am just starting out?

  10. TraderJoe says:

    To be successful at trading options in the stock market, you’ll need practice. The best way to get practice is through paper trading, that’s where you follow a stock and pretend you are actually putting trades in and then taking them out, hopefully for a profit.

    You can also find books on the subject, like on amazon or barnes and noble. You’ll need a good foundation on the basics. There are also different strategies when it comes to trading options so you’ll need to learn those first as well.

    For more advanced ways on how to trade options, there are sites that offer guidance. The advantage with these sites is that they will take you beyond the basics and offer you a better chance at higher returns on your trades.

    I’ve listed some sites below that you can check out, they are for information purposes only and not a recommendation. However, you will learn a little more than what you can get from reading books.

    http://www.stockoptiontradingsystems.com
    http://optionsexpress.stockoptiontradingsystems.com
    http://tradeking.stockoptiontradingsystems.com

    I think if you start your learning this way, you will be able to succeed in trading options. Others have done it so there’s no reason why you can’t learn how to do it too.

    Hope that helps and good luck!

    A scam for the untrained.

  12. iswaswill says:

    Let’s get real, it, having been used by Hedge Funds and large conglomerate CEOs and other inside officers has enticed too much corruption and is sucking the US Dollar value dry! If you think a stock is going down, sell it….simple as that and make the big boys do that too! No more of this cooperative bouncing the stock between option strike prices to suck the capital out of hard working American’s retirement savings! Lets get the common back in the stock market!

  13. Ted says:

    No. Actually the system works great. People who work hard to understand the system can make some extra money and retire early. Others, who want to jump in and expect to get rich without any effort get what they deserve, too.

  14. chrissmcguiree says:

    I have been paper trading my system for over a year and now want to use real money. Should I trade out of a 401k or a Roth Ira? I don’t want the IRS breathing down my neck so trying to get educated before I jump in. What is better?

  15. b2fnow says:

    As far as the irs is concerned, they don’t care whether you’re tading options or stocks or futures or eggs, they only care about profits.

    To trade options, you will need a margin acct.

  16. xcalibus says:

    I recommend OptionsXpress.com as they have an intuitive user interface and fast execution.

  17. hangrambang says:

    Trading binary options is a simple thing due to its binary characteristic. But making money consistently using this new kind of financial trading is another thing. That’s if you don’t want to trade like gamblers. Do you trade binary options? Do you have some kind of strategy or system that guarantee winning?

  18. cactusgene says:

    No there is no strategy or method in ANY options trading system that GUARANTEES a trading profit. You are simply subject to the way the market bounces and that’s the way it is.
