Lately, I've been looking at options charts, and the more I look, the more I feel that time value is pretty "biased":


As a buyer, time is constantly leaking away every day, and even if you're right about the direction, a slow move can easily crush your confidence.
As a seller, basically relying on "most of the market isn't that dramatic" to collect premiums, but once a real pull occurs, that last little push can wipe out all the gains accumulated before and even result in a loss.

These days, I keep seeing a bunch of memes and screenshots of celebrities giving trading signals.
Attention shifts so quickly that it's ridiculous.
Veterans advise newcomers not to take the last step—I genuinely believe that...
In such times, buyers are most likely to be pressured by "hurry up, hurry up" to raise prices, which results in losing even more time value.

My mom asked me a couple of days ago:
"Is it true that once you buy, you can just wait for the price to go up?"
I said you can wait, but with options, you're fighting against time—waiting and waiting, your money can run out first...
Anyway, I personally focus more on risk boundaries, preferring to earn less rather than entrusting myself to luck.
