132: Options Position Sizing Case Study

Stock Market Options Trading

In this special Thanksgiving episode of the SMOT podcast, I want to take a moment to say thank you for being a dedicated listener. Wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season!

Today, we’re diving into a case study on options position sizing. I recently posted a video on YouTube where I compared the same trading strategy across different account sizes and allocations to see how position sizing can dramatically impact performance. In this episode, you’ll hear the audio from that video.

If you’re a visual learner, I’ve included a link to the YouTube video so you can check out the performance metrics in detail—it’s only 12 minutes long!

Before we jump in, a quick ask: If you’re enjoying the SMOT podcast, I’d be thrilled if you left a review on Apple or Spotify. It takes just 30 seconds, and it means the world.

Now, let’s get into this case study on optimizing your options position sizing!
