How are you using charm / CHEX?
For those trading SPY/SPX 0DTE, how are you actually using charm exposure or CHEX? Do you find net charm useful directionally, or do you mostly look at per-strike charm around spot?

$2.7k win on a small-cap using AI + options flow
**Preface:** Mods removed the post yesterday but had tons of dms about this post so reposting with clarifications that led to removal. 1. I have some experience developing games. Although it's largely irrelevant since game dev is mostly in rust and this alert was written in python by the AI. …
Selling Options
I’m planning to switch over to selling options/collecting premiums. I’ve had my fun with LEAPs over the last couple of years and have built up enough money ($75k) to where I think I can start taking a more conservative approach of CCs and CSPs. I’ve got a day job and …

Execution on SPXW for Professional Customer (390 rule)
Hi, has anyone traded SPXW under the designation of Professional Customer (390 rule) who can share the actual experience with execution? Per CBOE it looks like they don't use customer priority on price matching of both single or complex orders but they do so on complext order auction. I'm on …

Holding 18 deep ITM LEAPS on a large cap tech name that had >100% run-up this year now at \~$500k unrealized gain, expiring June 2027. Depending on interpretation of IRS straddle rules, it becomes a long term gain in July 2026 or Jan 2027. My goal: Let theta and IV …
CVNA PUTS
**Rolled CVNA puts to June expiration.** This trade is up $20,000 this year and likely has room to run. **All the good news is baked in.** Earnings are out. S&P 500 joined. Stock split is done. **Technicals are heavily bearish**. Not that the technicals are always right, but a bearish …
