New guy from last thread:
Buying calls or puts is a fixed cost with the best upside. Your success %is not as great as selling but your upside is theoretically infinite
Selling calls or puts is "safer" in that your success % is greater but your upside is only the cost of the option. Your downside is theoretically infinite.
If you buy a call and it doesn't do well, you're only out the initial cost of the option. Live to fight another day. If you SELL a call and the ticket moons, you could lose your balls forever.
Tl;Dr - to start, just learn to buy options 60 DTE or so ITM or just OTM. Once comfortable, you can extend or contract your DTE and/or get further OTM.
