From my perspective, the addition of Monday and Wednesday expiries is a meaningful upgrade for active options traders. Between options and leveraged ETFs, I still prefer options for precision, especially when targeting gamma or setting defined-risk trades. Leveraged ETFs suit strong directional views, but options give better control over timing and volatility.
With these new midweek expiries, I’d mainly use them for short-term trades and tactical hedging rather than holding longer. Short-dated options are effective for quick moves or adjusting exposure around headlines, though post-market risk and unexpected assignment still need close attention.
On volatility, I do think short-dated options can amplify price swings in heavily traded names. NVIDIA and Tesla stand out as the most active candidates, as strong options flow and trader interest could intensify gamma-driven moves.
