I think it's best to specialize in only a few strategies. Breaks above resistance may run further, particularly if there is significant short interest, or it may turn and sell off as traders take profits in the face of the latest macroeconomic news. Buying more time is generally a better bet, and not too far out of the money. If you like to sell premium as I do, remember to watch your back with the same hair trigger. Although the erosion of time premium in an indecisive market works in your favor, don't ride too long on a move against your position.
Exit strategies are critical.
Be cautious with stop loss orders on thinly traded options. Some brokerages don't consider your stop price to be triggered until another trade has executed at or beyond that price. Alternatively, a brokerage like Preferred Trade allows stop orders on options based on the underlying stock price, which is the most sure-fire way to get a fair execution. However, even this won't protect you with a long option position if the stock doesn't move much but the option time premium continues to erode, so you still must regularly monitor the current bid. As a trader, you must sort through the clutter of information and think for yourself.
