Lack of a clear strategy: Options trading requires a well-defined strategy. If options do not have a clear plan, exit strategy or risk management in place, they may make impulsive decisions that lead to losses.

Risk Management : In option trading do you know where is your entry and target. Where is your stoploss, minimum stoploss in option trading is 5 to 10 % of your capital. In option trading you are on a path where you don’t know where is your goal and where you want to go.

Holding options until expiration: If options buyers hold their contracts until expiration and they are out-of-the-money (i.e., the underlying asset’s price has not moved in their favor), the options will expire worthless, resulting in a total loss of the premium paid.

Time decay (Theta): Options contracts have a limited lifespan, which ends on the expiration date. As options approach their expiration date, they lose value due to time decay (theta). The closer an option is to expiration, the faster its time value erodes. If the underlying asset’s price doesn’t move in the desired direction quickly enough, options buyers can suffer losses as the time value diminishes. They wants to take option at cheaper price and think it going to 10x from this price.

Lack of price movement (low volatility): Options provide leverage, which means that a small price movement in the underlying asset can lead to significant gains or losses in the option’s value. If the underlying asset remains relatively stable or experiences minimal price movements, options buyers may incur losses, particularly if they have paid a premium for the options.
