@Rong Zhou thanks for sharing

Another earnings session kicking off

@Lifang Deng indeed

@Sam Sam I think I will have to at some point.

I think in an AI age, large tech stocks will always be dominant.

@Sharon Yuen I agree with the principle of risk management; limiting risk to 1-2% of the account per trade is solid advice for most trading styles. However, with options (especially defined-risk strategies like credit spreads, iron condors, or debit spreads), you typically don’t use a traditional hard stop-loss the same way stock or futures traders do. Instead, you implement a predefined exit strategy based on: - Percentage of max profit (e.g. close at 50% of max profit) - Percentage of max loss (e.g. close if the position reaches 1.5x–2x the credit received) - Technical levels or time-based exits (e.g. close before expiration or when price hits a key level) - Adjustments rather than outright stops As the maximum loss is already defined when you enter the trade (especially with defined-risk options strategies), the 1–2% rule is applied at the position-sizing stage rather than through a traditional stop-loss order. So while the risk-management mindset is the same, the execution is different with options.

@Sam Sam rms? rules management etc? Every option strategy requires its own discipline and rules. You might consider macro, market trend, earnings, dividend due, delta, IV, performance of a particular stock, technical picture, strike, duration of contract (weekly or monthly; slightly longer for spreads, exit strategy, etc...eg if a stock is moving up rapidly, a covered call might be dangerous unless you purely seek income and you are happy to have the shares sold. Not sure if that helps
