### Comment:
I hear you, and when I get crazy I roll weeklies, but I've been burned on those before too. I feel like we're playing a pretty damn risky game, and my risk appetite only goes so far. I derisk by playing indexes (although lately index etfs are just as volatile as anything else) and I play with a 4 week expiration date. The gains I can get from these have been enough to be life changing for me and win more often than I lose. That's my risk management scenario.

### REPLY:
Word. With the exception of a couple times (like last week), I generally buy 10 SPY contracts 3 weeks out.
