Every trader has a default temperament. Some are natural premium sellers — they tolerate small frequent wins and the occasional large loss. Others are natural premium buyers — they prefer many small losses and the occasional large win. Neither archetype is correct; both are valid. The mistake is trading a strategy that fights your wiring.
Before you select a strategy, run the diagnostic: how do you behave during a losing streak? Do you hold defined-risk positions to expiration without flinching? Do you cut winners too early because the green P&L makes you anxious? Honest answers here determine whether you should be selling iron condors or buying long calls — and the wrong answer will cost you tens of thousands of dollars before you figure it out.
