DAY 9. Can options make money if the time value is negative?
HelloWelcome to Tiger Academy - 「Options Academy Column」 Issue 9.In the previous issue, we discussed that the seller of an option is required to deposit margin, while the buyer is not required to do so. The main source of profit for the seller is to earn the option's time value. With a high success rate, the earnings are stable.

After the financial reports of major tech companies, we are now more than halfway through this earnings season. The most robust momentum of the tech companies this year has more or less subsided, and the upcoming focus will be on how various players maintain their profits achieved this year. Looking at the market trends, Monday still retained a relatively optimistic outlook, yet the overall fluctuations weren't as significant as the previous week. Perhaps we'll have to wait until after the release of non-farm payrolls and employment data for the next strategic move.As for unusual options activities, a substantial number of open orders are leaning toward being in-the-money, signaling a reduced level of market speculation. For instance, a substantial portion of open orders for

Options Strategy Explanation 08 |Slight dip, making money through spread trading is the safest.
HelloWelcome to Options Strategy Explanation 08！Today, we will be learning about two bearish spread strategies.First, let me ask you a question. If we anticipate a slight future decline in stock prices, how can we use options to profit? Many options enthusiasts might think of buying put options or selling call options, but both of these strategies come with significant risks.To begin with, if you buy put options and the stock price experiences only a slight decline, it's possible that the decrease may not be enough to offset the erosion of time value, leading to a drop in the put option's price and resulting in losses.On the other hand, if you sell call options, although the win rate might be higher, if the stock price rises, the seller's potential losses are unlimited. This strategy can e
