Overview On June 13, 2024, I initiated a vertical put option strategy on Ford (F) $Ford(F)$  by selling a put option at a strike price of $11.82 and buying a put option at a strike price of $10.82, collecting an option premium of $26 per contract. This strategy had a maturity date of July 19, 2024. Recent developments in Ford's EV strategy played a significant role in this investment decision. On July 8, 2024, I decided to close the position by paying $2 per contract. Rationale Behind the Strategy The motivation behind this strategy was primarily driven by Ford's announcement regarding adjustments to its electric vehicle (EV) strategy. Ford decided to discontinue its "EV-certified" program due to declining demand and instead allowed all dealers

Overview On 31 May 2024, I engaged in a vertical put spread strategy on GOLD $Barrick Gold Corp(GOLD)$   by opening two contracts. This involved selling put options at a strike price of USD 17 and simultaneously buying put options at a strike price of USD 16, collecting an option premium of USD 33 per contract. The contracts were set to mature on 19 July 2024. Subsequently, I closed the position on 8 July 2024 by paying USD 20 per contract. Strategy Analysis The vertical put spread is a limited-risk, limited-reward strategy that aims to capitalize on stable or slightly bullish market conditions. By selling the higher strike price put and buying the lower strike price put, the maximum potential profit is limited to the net premium collec

Overview of the Option Strategy On July 5, 2024, I initiated a vertical put option strategy on Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$  by opening five contracts. This involved selling put options at a strike price of $16 and simultaneously buying put options at a strike price of $15, with a maturity date of August 16, 2024. For this strategy, I collected a premium of $25 per contract. This vertical put spread, often referred to as a credit spread, is a bullish strategy that profits if MARA's stock remains above $16 at expiration. Key Drivers Behind the Strategy 1. Superior Mining Efficiency: Marathon Digital Holdings stands out in the competitive landscape of cryptocurrency mining due to its efficient revenue

Overview of the Strategy On June 5, 2024, I initiated a vertical put option strategy on Ford $Ford(F)$  , involving the following transactions: - Sold put options at a strike price of $11.82. - Bought put options at a strike price of $10.82. - Collected an option premium of $26 per contract. This strategy, known as a bear put spread, is typically used when expecting the stock price to decline or remain neutral within a specific range. Ford’s Performance in May Ford recently reported robust vehicle sales for May, which could significantly impact the stock price and, consequently, the outcome of my option strategy: - **Total vehicle sales:** 190,014 (up 11.2% YoY) - **Electric vehicle sales:** 8,966 (up 64.7% YoY) - **Hybrid vehicle sales:** 17

I like to double my profit by selling a put and call vertical with a delta of 0.15. I don't need max profit, I just need max probability of collecting premium. I tends to use a wide spread to collect max credit. So, for Tesla, I will do like 190/200 or 195/210 for 1-2 weeks option And a 140/120 put option. I will go in with 10lots on call and 10 lots on put For 1 week option. This will give me about $1000 per week income. I don't own the shares and will not want to own any share given my profit is $4000 a month with a capital outlay of only $20000-$30000. As long as Tesla don't breach this 140-190 range, I am safe. And doing it on a week option also make this fairly safe. Even if it does breach on side, the other side will still be in profit to minimise the lose. 

The market saw a Monday rebound, with tech stocks leading, particularly $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ with increased options trading, ranking first despite its higher stock price. Strong bullish sentiment persists, reflected in call options around $540 and put options at $485 for NVDA. While $Boeing(BA)$ ‘s significant decline spurred more active put trades around $220 and $225. Bitcoin awaits Wednesday news, while $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$ and $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ exhibit active and rising trading activity and implied volatility (IV).

$TENCENT(00700)$ and $NetEase(NTES)$ both experienced a significant decline on Friday, which would have been an opportunity for me in the past. However, given the current overall negative sentiment surrounding Chinese concept stocks, I'm not very inclined to take action without first assessing the severity of the situation.If it were something on the level of NetEase splitting from $Activision Blizzard(ATVI)$ or Tencent imposing restrictions on minors' gaming time, then it wouldn't be a big deal and I would consider buying. But this time:The document will fundamentally affect the company's revenue. Under constant bandwidth and channel costs, the high-profit game

Selling option is the best !!

I’m trading on $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ earnings with options, cause NVDA is the leader in AI, and AI is leading the whole stock market. On the post-earning day, NVIDIA fell by 2.4%, while the $Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$ stubbornly increased 0.41%.But on the other hand, we can also think that the market originally expected NVDA's financial report to rise by more than 10 points (as mentioned in previous articles), which would lead to a further rise in the overall market. However, if NVDA's performance exceeds expectations but does not rise, there is no reason to support a big rise in the market, which makes QQQ even colder at a higher level.

The August earnings of $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ left a deep impression on options investors, with high expectations in the market. Not only did the stock rally before the report, but there was also significant volatility during the after-hours trading session, reaching an all-time high price (over $530) until it was recently broken by the opening price of $502. The subsequent decline in the following trading days resulted in no profits for both call and put buyers.The only viable and profitable strategy is to utilize volatility, such as going long on implied volatility (IV) before the financial report and closing positions before its release, or shorting IV a day before the report.The Q3 financial report on November 21st is also a focal point for the e

The sharp rise in U.S. bond interest rates rattled investors, Fed Chairman Powell's hawkish rhetoric spooked U.S. stocks, Tesla fell 5 percent, and the S&P ended an eight-day winning streak."The FOMC is committed to achieving a stance of monetary policy that is restrictive enough to bring inflation down to 2 per cent over time, and we do not believe we have reached such a stance," Mr Powell said on Thursday.Still, Powell said, "The Fed will continue to tread carefully to address the risk of being misled by several months of good data, and the risk of tightening too much." If appropriate, the Fed will not hesitate to raise rates."On the same day, Federal Reserve Governor Bowman also released a "hawk" message, saying that she expects the FOMC will need to continue to raise interest rates

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  I have been trading in $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  for a while, generally on the bearish side, as the SEC overhang casts a looming cloud of uncertainty over the company. I traded in it when it was stuck within the $70-80 range and made a decent amount trading that choppy range, creating strangles through sold puts and calls at the extremes of the range. I also traded  via  short positions from the top of the range, given my bias towards the downside for COIN. I was lucky that I ceased trading bearishly on COINand pivoted to other stocks, as I saw BTC increasing past the 30K range. Looking at COIN now, nearing the mid

Markets are watching Fed officials talk for insight into the outlook for interest rates. Whether the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates this year is still uncertain, the Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, who is known as the "Fed mouthpiece," wrote on Wednesday (18). Philadelphia Fed President Patric Harker, who has a vote on the Federal Open Market Committee this year, said the Fed should remain on hold until early next year because monetary policy has a lag effect and higher borrowing costs will drag on the economy despite recent data pointing to renewed strength in the jobs and consumer markets.Mr. Harker said the Fed is likely to wait until early next year to determine whether its rapid rate hikes over the past 20 months have been enough to tame inflation. "

This week, the market is focused on the earnings of tech giants. The 10-year US bond rate, the "anchor of global asset pricing", recently broke the important 5 per cent mark for the first time in intraday trading, hitting its highest level since 2007. It is worth noting that the strong economy is still pushing up U.S. bond rates, and many institutions believe that they will not see a significant decline in U.S. bond rates this year.The results of the surge in US Treasuries were quickly reflected in the markets. The S&P 500 is down about 7 percent from its high for the year as the fixed income offered by U.S. government bonds lured investors away from stocks.Wall Street continues to report corporate earnings this week, the most concerned is undoubtedly Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Me

Treasury rates were volatile after a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, with the 10-year rate approaching 5%. Powell spoke at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday. Data in recent months suggest the central bank is making progress toward its twin goals of full employment and price stability, but inflation remains too high and more data pointing to sustained above-trend growth or an end to cooling in the labor market could pose risks to progress against inflation and lead to further tightening, he said.Powell said there is no evidence that policy is too tight, but given the uncertainties and risks, and the progress the central bank has made so far, the Fed will be careful to determine the extent of additional policy tightening and how long to maintain restrictive policy b

Technology stocks rose strongly as investors awaited Apple's results, with the S&P and Nasdaq bouncing back from a correction last week and Tesla falling below $200 a share for the first time since early June.After a busy week of earnings from big tech giants, the market will be focused on three major events this week: the latest Fed interest rate policy decision, Apple earnings and non-farm payrolls.The Fed, which has raised rates 11 times since it began tightening policy in March 2022, is widely expected to hold rates steady this week for a second straight pause, with the central bank expected to finish raising rates at least through 2023.The rate on the 10-year Treasury began to jump above 5 percent last week, but was trading around 4.89 percent on Monday.

A number of banks kicked off the earnings season with better-than-expected results, but investors had to contend with volatility amid rising geopolitical tensions.

"The probability of a decline in tech earnings this quarter is p
