Many options traders fall into the pitfall of finding an options strategy that works well for them one year but end up moving to a new strategy when they see other traders doing even better in a different strategy. In this video, Seth discusses why that might not be a good idea. smbu.com/seth

Love this Seth! As a trader for 42 years I have made all of these mistakes I wish I had videos like this back when I was first learning ;)

Good info. You see the same thing in fitness. A lot people keep changing their routine in the gym because they aren't reaching their goals, and all it does it keep them at square one. There are actually a lot of parallels between finance and fitness. Discipline and knowing what you're doing (or listening to someone who does) will take you far in both endeavors.

This is some great stuff Seth!! In your opinion, what direction neutral strategies would do well in today's market conditions (with the high volatility and such)?

Thank you for uploading! Your contribution to the trading community is really helpful to us retail traders. Would love to see and hear from Shark or Swang or any other top traders at your firm. I really wish I could hear those clips when a group of traders is around one desk. Shark's previous videos were great, would love to hear more from a more technical stand point or even better live trading.

Thank you for the great video. I would love to know if you do any directional options, simply buying and selling naked options. Last month I have been able to grow my account over 500% simply buying trading naked options. Is there a strategy to this kind of trading or it’s nothing but gambling? Thank you

buying options usually is an speculation strategy. its not necessary a bad strategy, but it loses most of the times, and if you don't make a good 1000% or more on the winning bet. you probably gonna lose money. (statistics show that 85% of options expires worthless) what I mean is make that 15% win count.

Why not devote 50% of your capital into each of the two strategies? Won't that most likely give more consistent returns and better portfolio metrics? (Sharpe ratio, drawdowns, etc)
