AI Trading with options: Establishing a long career arc in 3 actionable steps 

In the recent NinjaTrader Ecosystem webinar, “Options Trading with AI,” Ophir Gottlieb of Capital Market Laboratories dug deep into three actionable tips for successful traders. He also covered how to leverage AI in options trading.

The goal for most options traders is to have a long and fruitful trading career. Beyond the here and now—that is today or this week—the best way to achieve a long career arc in trading is through a portfolio of trades.

A portfolio of trades means:

• Long volatility (long options)
• Short volatility (short options)
• For a bull market
• For a bear market
• For a recovering or falling market (going from bear to bull or bull to bear)

Gottlieb added that those with little market understanding know about the bull and bear markets, but that those with more advanced understanding know there are four markets—bull, bear, recovering, and falling.

Wanting vs. Liking the idea of AI trading

Gottlieb goes on to say that with trading, like with anything in life, there is a difference between “liking the idea” of something and “wanting” something to the point where you make a concerted effort to achieve that something. Traders who want a long career arc will be on their way by implementing the following:

• Process (plan in finance terms): Write it down.
• Patience (with the plan and yourself): Patient people are blessed people.
• Effort (not as easy as you want it to be): It will also probably be more satisfying than you think.

Gottlieb goes in depth on AI trading with options in the full presentation. Watch a sample clip here:
