What else did you read? How can you profitably get long vol when the product decays constantly and it's impossible to get the timing right?

Market taker this is exactly the art of option trading. Dive deep it’s a rich space. Decomposing full Greeks evolution over the lifetime of a delta hedged trade is a minimum. Else you’re walking through a cave with no lamp. Not being facetious.

@Michael K: just for correctness delta hedging does not influence the greeks. You delta hedge based on (some of) the greeks.

Market taker - I read a lot haha probably too much tbh, and got down and dirty in the weeds within cboe/ white papers on vix options. There’s a ton of free stuff out there just gotta dig. Honestly you have to think outside the box with these. Some people sell theta via covered calls on positions they own to cheapen the cost to hold the position. Others like Mike Green (which I think was amazing trade had he stayed in it ) bought out of the money PUTS on XIV (much more efficient) I probably would have done that trade if I was 1% as smart as him. Nancy Davis is also very very good with options and I highly recommend watching any of her videos to see how she sets stuff up.
