Ultimately people win or lose the total of the difference between their trade price + commissions from fair value. And nobody knows fair value better than embodied in the current market's mid price. Extra knowledge about the details of pricing won't help you get on the correct side of the mid price, which is really all you need, and by the way, extremely difficult to do without a bot in most markets. | |

For speculating on a statistical basis (e.g. using long iron condors). In all of these activities, I prefer to know and understand the properties of my options positions. | |
