Tiger app has launched a new feature: Daily Options, which are now available for trading on three index ETFs including $SPY, $QQQ, and $IWM. This feature offers investors more trading options and allows options traders to take advantage of short-term price changes without needing to hold positions overnight.Due to their shortened maturities, midweek-expiring options have a unique trading nature. Let me explain in detail.Risk warning:Please be aware that option trading can be complex. Before participating in option trading, it's important to have a good understanding of options, be familiar with trading rules, and fully understand the potential investment risks. Additionally, investors should be aware of other risk factors and conduct a thorough risk assessment before making any financial a

Selling naked put is a strategy in options trading where an investor sells a put option without owning the underlying asset. This strategy is also known as "short put" or "uncovered put". The investor receives a premium in exchange for the obligation to buy the underlying asset at a specified price (strike price) if the option is exercised by the buyer. This strategy can be a profitable strategy if executed correctly, but it also carries a significant amount of risk. While selling naked puts can be a profitable strategy, it also comes with some risks, including:Unlimited potential losses: If the price of the underlying asset falls below the strike price, the investor will be obligated to buy the asset at a higher price than the market value. If the price continues to drop, the losses can b

Pinduoduo experienced a sharp drop in stock price yesterday. To confirm the extent of its impact, I reviewed the options activity for the KWEB and FXI ETFs. On March 23rd, I noticed that a trader placed a very aggressive order:buy $KWEB 20230421 34.5 CALL$The total transaction amount for the call option is over 1.9 million. It has an expiration date of April 21 and a strike price of 34.5 OTM. There is a high likelihood that there will be a surge in the near future, or the price will rise to 34.5 before April 21.Similarly, there is an option move on FXI, where traders are making a call spread, which is not so aggressive:buy 

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Is this stock a stable- coin or something? It literally doesn’t move. Doesn’t genius Karp realize he could do or say something publicly that could seriously pump his company’s stock?? 🤦 I bought a few puts for fun at $8.55 with a SP of $8. May and June exp so I've got some time but know I want to be long gone way before then. They were up 20% at close. Do I sell them tomorrow at $8 or do I ride them into the 7s? I'm usually quick to pull these when I'm up. 😎

Confirming that the banking crisis is likely to have been averted, the capital needs of American banks did not continue to deteriorate last week. It is important to note that the phrase 'gathering momentum, declining rapidly' applies equally to the concept of shorting.From last week's FOMC meeting, it can be seen that the Fed recognizes the impact of tightening credit on raising interest rates. However, some conspiracy theorists have suggested that Powell may have intentionally harmed small banks, only for short sellers to interfere. Within 48 hours, a bank unexpectedly failed due to the spread of social media, causing a run on regional banks and almost triggering a European banking crisis. This proved to be too much for central banks on both sides of the Atlantic, prompting them to hit th

Here are three things today, all related to liquidity:1. The latest Federal Reserve H.4.1 report shows that the Federal Reserve's FIMA facility has been used, to the size of $60 billion. Because the facility requires collateral against government bonds, the market assumed that a central bank was responsible for putting up such a large amount of collateral. Liquidity is now very tight.2. Deutsche Bank fell 10% in the premarket, with bonds and equities selling off at the same time. Separately, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG became the first European bank this year to forgo a call on AT1 bonds.3. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde told EU leaders that the ECB was fully prepared to provide liquidity to the eurozone financial system if needed.Shorting of banks and real estate continu

Knowing what factors impact the price of options and the right strategies to use is imperative.

Earnings season is one of the most anticipated periods during the financial year for the market. Investors should know what to expect, but also undertake their own research and analysis to find opportunities that may arise during this time.Historically, earnings announcements have played a prominent role in moving stocks. As a result, they represent the understanding of a company's position in the unknown future in the world of investing.

The market action after this FOMC meeting is very confusing and very visual. The dollar fell sharply, the market soared (later down), I looked at the calendar, today is March 23, not February 2 ah, how the market is basically similar?This time, the Fed duly raised interest rates by 25 basis points and the dot plot was slightly raised, so it is no surprise that the PCE of economic expectations was also raised. But the statement deleted any reference to continued rate hikes. The fact that the Fed has raised its inflation forecast without sticking to a rate hike only suggests that runs on regional banks are causing the Fed a little trouble. And the journalists at the press conference have lost sight of inflation, apparently the banking crisis is more important.It has to be said that raising i

$Bank of America(BAC)$ The government has offered liquidity to banks, meaning high value assets can now be sold to the government for dollars at par value if needed in order to ensure depositors that their money is available to them and there’s no need for these deposit-run panics… Ok well I believe people will still withdraw their deposits from banks which do not have enough assets to cover all of their deposits on file… So, does anyone know of any banks which do not have enough assets to cover all of their deposits on file? It’s time to buy some puts, but I want to make sure in buying puts on the right banks ugly ugly price action, fundamentals & price action has been disconnected, as much as I like longer term and see good upside(35-40)

In theory, when the Fed released liquidity to rescue small banks, the run on banks should be over and bank shares should rebound.But it's too early to cheer from an options move perspective, and the bears may still be playing with the FOMC.There was a big order yesterday of $First Republic Bank(FRC)$ put options expiring this week with a strike price of 10:​$FRC 20230324 10.0 PUT$ Coincidentally, the $SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF(KRE)$ also saw a large volume of put expiring this week:​<

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ I’m not selling. Just because a ton of shareholders are getting back to where they originally bought means very little to me. In fact, I think I will buy a $150 call for a few months out on top of my shares. I am really liking the consolidation here ; it’ll provide a nice base for the next leg up !Many were surprised when btc hit $25k recently, and now it just topped $28k, so please don't be surprised when it passes $30k this week. Bitcoin is here to stay & so is coinbase…I've sat on this for over a year now and added when it was low. Long & strong 💪

One of the big surprises last week was that the Federal Reserve opened up the water again, providing another $300 billion of credit to the banking system. If interest rate cuts are interpreted as missiles, this credit supply can be interpreted as handing banks a revolver with plenty of ammunition. From the Fed's point of view, a problem that can be solved with a gadget doesn't need a big one.Liquidity is indeed provided objectively. The apparent spillover of liquidity sent tech stocks soaring, not knowing whether the market was unnecessarily misunderstood or not doing the right thing.The experience was eerie: it was as if the community had organized fundraising for critically ill patients, only to find that the patients' homes had been equipped with the latest computer 3D printers and VR d

Shopify invested aggressively in growth during the pandemic, but was caught flatfooted when consumer spending shifted due to the reopening of physical stores and inflation. Management overspent on growth initiatives, cutting into profitability.First of all the LRC is sloping downward which is bearish, & the pattern looks like it is forming an H&S. There is a gap at 32.40 & 50.18, so it looks like the lower one fills first. It tried to break out of the triangle once & failed & looks to do it again. The BB's are converging but the alligator is pointing down indicating a big move, but down.

$Charles Schwab(SCHW)$ I have AAPL$Apple(AAPL)$ calls, several others tickers, and SCHW - first time trading SCHW, followed an unusual option whale, but didn’t know it traded w/psycho tendencies! I mean, look at APPLE CHART, nice gradual upslope just like Nasdaq$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ . But this? Hit around $60, then I looked away for 5 minutes- and it’s below $59 and heading to $58, all the while the Nasdaq just dropped a few points. Just lost $5k in 5 minutes. Like I said, trades like it’s having a psychotic break. Does it always do this? Ok, well now I know.

There were two events in March that reversed financial markets. Not non-farm and CPI, but the cascading effects of Silicon Valley bank failures and Chatgpt-4.The former affects the liquidity of the capital market, while the latter is a technological revolution that reverses the valuation of the AI industry at a stroke. From a value investing perspective, I think the latter is more far-reaching.Anyway, after these two things happened, I really want to see if those big orders are still holding positions.In the article "Show the cards!

The 2022 Q4 earnings season is drawing to a close amid expectations of a soft landing for the US economy.
