$AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ so I have been assigned. Well on the bright side...the fee is cheaper...with premium collected... Bad side..I might need to hold longer. How to mitigate? I will learn to sell call after the earning of asts. Waiting for the volatility and sell call at higher strike price. If assigned I get to sell these asigned shares at a fixed profit with lower cost at a lump transaction rather than risk of not fully sold all as I encountered multitimes...end up with awkward numbers of shares for the transaction fee paid. If I'm not assigned..In theory I should get premium while bagholding[Cry]

$TSLL 20250919 13.0 PUT$   #MyOptionInvestmentJourney Hi everyone! I am back again this week (Sep 15) with an update on my option investing journey. I am exploring a practical way for everyday people (like me!) to make the most of their spare savings — and hopefully, this inspires or helps someone out there too. 🔁 Recap: [My Profile] I started with SGD 1,400 / USD 1,050 in spare savings — just sitting in the bank earning minimal interest. Instead of letting it idle, I am testing if I can generate better returns through options investing. I officially began this journey on August 12, 2025, and chose to invest in an ETF related to Tesla (TSLL) — primarily because of its exposure to Tesla and its dividend yield. 💼 What I've D

Once you’ve opened an options position, you really only face three possible outcomes: you can close the position early, hold it until expiration and exercise, or simply let it settle at expiration. Many beginners assume they need to hold their options until expiration. But in practice, experienced traders often close early. Why is that? 📒 Let’s see how The Options Handbook breaks it down in detail: ▶ Lock in profits or cut losses Options don't just move with the stock price. They're also affected by time decay and implied volatility. That means the option's value can change significantly even if the stock isn't moving much. ▶ Example Stock A trades at $100 You buy a Call option with a strike price

Earnings season is volatile. Many investors hold tech stocks like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ or $Apple(AAPL)$ —sell them and risk missing the rally, keep holding and it feels like wasted time. That’s when the Covered Call strategy shines: keep your shares, sell calls, and collect steady premiums—like rent from a house even if prices don’t rise. Perfect for sideways markets. 📘 The principles of the Covered Call strategy were explained in detail in the previous post. Focusing on practical use, The Options Handbook also highlights key things to watch— ▶ What Is a Covered Call? 🤔 It involves owning at least 100 shares of a stock

If you're in a challenging investment position or holding a stagnant stock, it's frustrating to watch your portfolio not grow. One strategy is selling a covered call to generate income while waiting for potential stock performance. But what exactly is a Covered Call? 📘 The Options Handbook explains it like this— ▶ What Is a Covered Call? 💡 A Covered Call means selling a call option while holding at least 100 shares of the stock. The goal: generate extra income from option premiums. ▶ Example 📊 Let's say you own 100 shares of Pear Inc., currently trading at $95. You're not expecting it to shoot up next week, but you'd be happy to sell at $100. So, you sell a one-month $100 call and collect $5 per s

Ever look at a stock and think: “That valuation is way too high”? If you want to profit on the downside, you could short-sell—or you could try the Long Put strategy. 📒 The Options Handbook breaks down the key points of using a Long Put for shorting— ▶ What Is Using a Long Put to Go Short? 🤔 A Long Put means you pay a premium to gain the right to sell the stock at a set price in the future. If you don’t own the shares, a Long Put is simply betting on the stock’s drop by profiting from the rising value of the put—not by actually selling shares. ▶ Both Are Bearish—So What’s the Difference? ⚖️ 1. Profit mechanics Long Put: Gains when the put option increases in value as the stock falls—no borrowing or

A Short Put can be a steady way to earn premium—as long as the stock doesn’t crash. But where are the risks? And when’s the best time to close the trade? 📘 The Options Handbook sums up the key points you need to know about the Short Put strategy— ▶ Review: What Is a Short Put? 🤔 A "Short Put" means selling a put option—also called a "Sell Put" strategy. It's a way of getting paid to potentially buy a stock at your preferred price. ▶ When This Works Best? 📈 This approach makes sense when you're happy to buy the stock, but only at your price. And you're fine owning it or earning a yield while waiting. It's beneficial if you're holding cash and want to boost returns without jumping in too early. ▶ Wh

If you’re bullish on a stock but hesitate because the price feels too high, don’t just sit and watch—how can you position yourself? For beginners, the Short Put strategy is a powerful way to turn that hesitation into opportunity. 📘 The Options Handbook clearly explains how Sell Put works— ▶ What Is a Sell Put? 🤔 The "Short Put" means selling a put option—also called a "Sell Put" strategy. It's a way of getting paid to potentially buy a stock at your preferred price. When you sell a put, you're essentially saying: "I'm willing to buy this stock—but only if it gets cheaper." To make that promise, you receive a premium upfront. If the stock stays high? You keep the cash. If it drops, you get to buy i

The profit/loss overlay projection should be relatively conservative with respect to assumed realised volatility. A lot of traders place combos due to a trigger event, which is often associated with higher implied volatility, and when this drops off the decrease in value of any out of the money combos or naked positions is exaserrated. By taking a conservative approach with respect to assumed future realised vol you will assist traders have a more realistic expectation of decay in time value etc. The new functions all look good and work well.
