Tackle Today: Delta or Theta?

Which strategies do you use most often?

Traders,

When choosing which product and strategy to trade, how do you determine if you are going to use options, stock, futures or forex? 

Delta trading allows you to trade directional setups based on technical analysis, trends, and price action.  You can use Stock, Options, Futures or Forex to play Delta trades.

Theta trading, on the other hand, allows you to build trades that benefit (positive theta) from time passing. Positive theta trading strategies include Covered Calls, Naked Puts, Credit Spreads (Bull Put or Bear Call) as well as Iron Condors. 

There are more theta strategies though, and you can review all of the theta strategies (as well as delta and/or vega strategies) in our playbook: https://tackletrading.com/store/tackle-trading-playbook/

Learning to trade different trading strategies so that you can take advantage of different market conditions is a valuable skill to have. In your own education, have you spent more time studying Delta, Theta or Vega strategies?  Whatever your focus has been, consider spending some time learning another style so that you have a well-rounded approach to the markets.
