It is very important that the investor obtains a basic knowledge about this kind of trading before making any investments because then only it can become a successful venture. In this type of trading a person has to make purchase of the stocks within a mentioned time or else he will lose the opportunity of investment. A very important factor that plays a significant role in the adoption of such strategies is time decay. One should always keep in mind that the option value decreases with time. This value keeps decreasing till the expiration date of the option.
