Two SPX put credit spreads into low IV — collecting premium on 0DTE/1DTE

Volatility Shock In Short Premium Trades
I’ve been trying to understand this better with short premium strategies. Suppose I sell an iron condor or short put spread because IV is elevated and I expect the underlying to stay mostly range-bound. I understand the expiration payoff profile, but I’m less clear on what happens before expiration if …
PDT rule's demise / Any speculation on the options market?
I was reading this article: [https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/what-to-know-about-the-demise-of-the-much-hated-pdt-trading-rule-0585c520?st=t4i6S2&reflink=desktopwebshare\_permalink](https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/what-to-know-about-the-demise-of-the-much-hated-pdt-trading-rule-0585c520?st=t4i6S2&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink) This quote stands out: "“Retail investors have proven they are smart, resourceful, and capable of managing their own exposure,” said Anthony Denier, U.S. chief executive of Webull." I mean, that's obviously not true. My sense is that a lot of people will get reckless, …
SPX delta vs short strike delta
Whenever I try to create a credit spread on IBKR it shows spx delta which is considerably less than the delta of the individual short strike. From what I know delta is basically the chances of the short strike becoming current strike price. My question is when people say delta …

Options Risk Management During Macro-Shock
I started doing calls/puts options 2 months ago. My $4k is doubled to $8k. I'm trying to prevent any structural flaw in my strategy that I should be aware of. 1) I trade multiple tickers: TSLA, NVDA, META etc. at any given time. I don't want to lose all my …
SPCE: The options market is still paying a massive premium for upside.
There was a lot of focus on the stock losing 40% in a single session. Currently, there is massive speculation going on on the stock. I think the more interesting story is what's happening in the options market. Current setup: * Stock price: \~$4.46 * DTE: 15 days * ATM …
META: Big Call Flow, But This Looks More Like a $615 Pin Than a Breakout
META has big call flow, but I do not think the trade is “buy calls and chase.” $META is sitting around the $610 to $620 zone, with the tape showing roughly $63M+ in premium across 27 flows, net flow around +$9M bullish, dominant strike $615, avg Vol/OI 3.7x, IV normal …
Nasa etf
I've bought 10 contracts of Nasa call options 45$ for June 18. That is 30% down right now. Should I wait or sell it?
INTC — selling the $95 monthly put, ~$4.70 credit. Sanity-check my thesis?
**Setup:** $INTC at $107.93, down 20% from the highs with a wedge forming on the daily. RSI is neutral at 52, so no momentum signal either way. Price is holding above support, with my levels at $99.78 (support) and $95.54 (deeper support). **The trade:** Sell the monthly $95 put for …
