Option Strategies: OKTA

Selling For Premium
12-02

Hello evreyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you!

1.

Earnings trade idea on: $Okta Inc.(OKTA)$

Earnings date: Tuesday Dec 3 after market close

Expected move: ~13% (subject to change on Tuesday)

Pre-Earnings Trade Idea:

- Debating what to do here ... looks like OKTA might be setting up for an upside move post-earnings, but we don't have a good feel for it

- If we do write options, it would be to sell the Dec 6 expiration put, 55 or 60 strike

Post-Earnings Trade Reactions:

- Buy-to-close if OKTA stays above put strike and IV crush kills the premium to position the trade in profit

- If the underlying breaches the put strike, then close for a loss or roll to a lower strike and farther-out date to get either a worthless expiration or get a better entry price for assignment (depending on earnings results and forward guidance)

- Close for a loss to avoid assignment of shares

Points to Consider:

- OKTA is trading below the 200EMA at the 83 level

- 2X the expected move places downside to around 57 and upside to around 97

- Big unfilled gap at the 95 level (we might buy the 90/95 call debit spread to play as a lotto)

- Volume support and point-of-control at the 72 level (based on the selected daily timeframe)

- Not a lot of support down to the 44 bottom if OKTA breaches 65
