Longer duration option contracts almost always win.
Here's the proof:
What moves the price of stocks in the long term?
Not Fibonacci.
Not Bollinger bands.
Not VWAP
IT'S THE EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
As EPS (profits) go up, the company will usually follow that in a 1 to 2 year time frame.
So as long as you buy a great company at a good price & give it a year ish, it's VERY likely the share price will snap back to intrinsic value & it's very likely EPS will be growing.
So you have this double bullish tailwind behind longer contracts.
This is why they are much more reproducible, easier, & safer.
Short duration is gambling and nobody knows what a stock is going to do in a week...
Anyone that tells you they do either has insider info (doubt it) or they are lying...
Don't fall into this trap...
I scaled to a few million and generate tens of thousands per month doing this stuff in a low risk way that works in bull markets & bear markets.
The short term "traders" will prob do ok in raging bull markets, but in the downswings, they will likely be reset at zero.
Don't make this mistake with your hard earned money.
