Recently, I keep spinning in the "waiting" phase: waiting for confirmation, waiting for callbacks, waiting to figure things out myself. But in the end, time figured me out first... Options are like buying a breath of air for the buyer; even if the market doesn't move, it can suffocate you. Sellers are more like selling patience, collecting time value, but they're always afraid that a sudden needle will pierce through. To put it simply, who is time value eating away at? Most of the time, it's eating away at buyers like me with procrastination tendencies; hesitation shortens the window. On the macro side, there's still chatter about rate cut expectations, and how the dollar and risk assets are bouncing and falling together. I’m too lazy to pretend to understand, only knowing that the longer the uncertainty lasts, the more expensive time becomes. First, reduce your position size a bit, and stop paying the "time fee" with emotions.
