Typically how many months out AND where are your strike prices on a trade. Hi Clappy! 1.) For SPX options, and for what I call swing trades, I usually go 2 months out, like February now. 2.) For SPX options, and shorter time trades, i.e. with full intentions to get out one way or the other in a day or two, then I sometimes will go with the current front month if there is 3-4 weeks left. 3.) Strike price for both 1 and 2 above is usually at the money, or just in the money. 4.) For stock options, I usually go 4 months out, and a few points in the money. RR
