I use options for many of my investments, and I just can't seem to calculate the most profitable function of strike price to projected growth. Could you tell me what you think the trick is to this? Thanks. Much appreciated.

Hi, just to share a but. i stick to my rule of not >5% of my capital in any counter, so from that amount i try to get max unit in the nearest out-of-money strike.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "calculate the most profitable function of strike price to projected growth" - could you please elaborate? What are you doing with options...long, covered calls, spreads, naked, etc.
