If you are running the standard Smart Calls ATM method, the allocation is set to 1% per trade. Is 1% of your equity enough to purchase the option at the Option ask price? Given the heighten volatility long options are a little rich these days.... ps. Leverage is not used in option purchases. So you do need to look at 1% of your equity value [Edited by Hafnium on 3/18/2020 2:13 AM] | |
