Do you buy options or sell options? Question and Answer – Forum › Category: strategy › Do you buy options or sell options? 0 Vote Up Vote Down user1 asked 6 years ago 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Raghu Staff answered 6 years ago Since time (theta decay) is in favour of option sellers, I always prefer to sell options. If volatility is very high (directional movement), I buy options. Else I will not trade; sometime NO TRADE is a GOOD TRADE
