Writing (Shorting) ES Options

 

Unless there is a strong trend, options buy side will never win. Most of time, there is no strong trend.

 

Purpose of shorting options is to collect premium on the expiration day, or cover the options when they fall to $1.5~1.0, which comes first; patience required, most of time, options go worthless on the expiration day.

 

Our edge: Accurate direction most of time.
