Nike's $NKE earnings announcement after the close. Options look cheap here!
**Here's my logic:** ATM straddles with 2DTE are trading at $4.31, with NKE trading at $52.80. The break even move is therefore plus or minus 8.2%. However, as we know, post-earnings there's a significant vol crush. Looking at both 2-DTE and 9-DTE options, I calculate the vol crush is worth …
Guidance on Credit Spreads
Hi all, Wondering if you could help me with some advice. #Noob Here I'm not really sure what happened on one of my recent transactions. On Mar 18, I opened a bull put credit spread on CCL expiring Mar 27: Sold 24P, bought 23P protection (net credit received = 27). …
Trade Book
Question for all... I've been trading options for less than a year. I've settled in to a few strategies that seem to be working consistently for me for now. I'm curious for those of you that have developed a trade book. What do you track when you journal your trades? …
i broke all 4 of my trading rules today. while knowing i was breaking them.

From staking BTC to buying options to leverage - feedbacks?!
I’ve been stacking up BTC since 2020, not really DCAing but always trying to buy the dip with whatever I had left from my salary (which, as a uni student who moves around, isn’t really consistent). During the last cycle, which I was sure would set a new ATH, I …
Please explain me this
I buy far out options on things I think will go up. Usually already in the money. What would be the logical reason to sell these? Yes they can get pricey, but I wouldn't want to be on the hook for a year for maybe a $800 premium for something …

$GS puts — record margins look durable until you actually stress-test them
Goldman just came off one of its best quarters in years. Strong IB advisory, booming financing activity, and ROE numbers that got analysts falling over each other to upgrade the name. I get the enthusiasm. But I've been spending time with the actual composition of those margins and I'm not …
Put price appreciation in a "down" market . . .
Hi, all. On March 30th, the S&P 500 went down 0.3%. I realize this is only a slight decline -- don't get me wrong -- but I was amazed by the number of ITM puts that also declined in value, some enormously. \-1- Can someone please tell me how/why certain …
