When a trade goes bad, many experienced option traders use

repair strategies. They will add an option leg to protect a position

or use a variety of other option strategies to avoid taking a loss.

There are some situations where repair strategies buy you

some time for the position to move in your favor, but in many

cases the trader just does not want to take a loss, and all the repair

strategy does is increase his or her trading activity—a game

that you want to avoid.

One of the greatest errors made by an option trader is his inability

to take a loss. This means that when your option trade

goes astray, cut your losses! Don’t use a repair strategy.
