Options trading from Australia self. I'm trying to find a profitable trading strategy. So far, my research has been focused on forex due to low gold and ease of access to the market. Recently I've begun delving into options but I really don't know anything beyond what an option is and that I should probably be selling them at this point. I do know however that I need a well-defined strategy that has been back-tested so that I actually have an edge. Basically from what I've heard - if there are Aussies here lmk if this is wrong ASX options are very illiquid and aren't really worth trading with a small account. So, I've been looking at international brokerage options. Based on these commissions and exchange fees, would it be options provided I had a decent strategy to be profitable trading US options from Australia with a relatively small account? I'm just wondering if it's worth my time to research options extensively. The market is fairly trading but that holds true for options in general not just the local ones. Market makers are there for a reason. Just a word of warning on them. If you expect to get filled in the middle of the bid ask spread it won't happen unless there are more than two market makers. IB has very good commission rates here for options. It's not worth doing if you use the local brokers. Word of warning though - you need volume with IB. Also you need a company or trust structure because of their unwillingness to get properly licensed here. As for trading US options the time difference is the killer. Not OP, but interested to trade options in AU to boost return during market downturns. Options trade stocks, mainly a trend follower. Any other strategy would you suggest other than buying put options? I use a local online broker and don't feel comfortable moving to anything else even other local brokers. How do I know how many market makers there are for a particular option? If the mid-point of the spread won't get filled, how can I determine the best premium to pay? I have always been concerned with liquidity, with ETFs and more so with options. I don't plan to trade options frequently. Should I worry about not being able to close out trades? Given buying puts doesn't require a lot of capital, is it possible or a good idea to use the remainder of the balance to invest or trade stocks? I'm just thinking ahead, strategies that could allow me to minimize risks, maximize returns, while still earning dividends e. It would be nice if you could answer some of these questions. It's pretty hard to find more specific information on option trading in Australia. A good strategy is in the usual market downturns is to try and time the bottom and sell a naked put or a put credit spread. The premiums can get very juicy. Australia did this in australia Feb tantrum and made a killing. Long options strategies put you on the wrong side of the card table. The sellers are the house as in a casino and over the long term make more money than option buyers. This is because of something called implied volatility which is over the long run always higher than realised volatility. Where there are three or less expect your buy order to be filled at or very near the ask and vice versa. I am not australia what is happening but I am pretty sure they collude to fix prices. Maybe they take turns to get the fills but regardless they aren't under any obligation to fill your order inside the spread. I am often half tempted to see whether I can eat some of their breakfast by filling orders gold their spreads effectively becoming a maker myself. They will of course screw you on the spread in the process. I have plenty of trades on right now where no one is quoting. As a seller of options this is great, it means the buyer's options are going to expire worthless. You're pretty clearly early on in your trading journey or limited in what you can do but once you get deep into the world of options you'll realise one thing. Selling premium is gold goldmine. Especially in times of uncertainty. Right now it's a bit boring but I have non-directional strategies to make up the time edit: I should say low volatility strategies - plenty of non-directional strategies that work in high volatility. I don't know about "timing the bottom". Timing the top or bottom is nearly impossible, that's why I've moved from swing trading to trend following. It does seem like option trading is too risky if I can't "stop loss" easily. How can we manage risk when the market goes against us? I think the only basic options I can do that earn a premium are calendar spread and collar. However, I feel I could easily be wiped out by all the experienced traders since its barrier to entry is pretty high; or I could be wiped out by my trading stupidity or carelessness when there are a myriad of things I could miss. My favourite and quite simple options strategy once you have access to margin and can sell australia is to pick stocks that have an implied volatility higher than historical, make sure it's not something like earnings coming up, then sell a strangle on it. That is one call above the current price and a put below. I place my puts closer to the price than my calls, this both gives better premium and increases the likelihood of being assigned. If assigned I then sell a call above the current price with a high probability of being called away. Read up about deltas and probabilities to learn a bit about why this works but suffice to say most of the time I get a juicy premium but every now and then I got some shares I can use as margin for more strangles so I can keep going. They eventually get called away has taken close to a year before though. All whilst dealing with ASX shares. I'm in Aus and a novice options trader as well. The two key issues for us are timezone market opens late night through early morning and FX gold moving balances between AUD and USD. As for timezone, if options thinking of day trading like you may have traded spot fx you'll need to adjust sleep patterns, otherwise figure out how to trade market open or close. As for profitability, this is completely unanswerable based on where you're at. Options are exponentially more complicated than forex. My own process is to hit a few of the great options books, master a single basic strategy covered callspaper trade with ToS until confident and profitable, then trade small amounts while growing out other spread strategies. It is a marathon, not a sprint, and I'm treating it almost like a 3 year degree in trading - not a day at the casino.
