    Just FYI Options traders, all options are worthless until the hour of expiration. They are even more manipulated than their underlying instruments. If you cant afford 100 shares of a company, wait till you can. Options market makers will suck you in. Over time, options traders (on the buy side) cannot make money.

      Nothing on SQ, just holding for more of a rally. BABA looks like a good play "Technically" on a chart, but there have been shrinking profit margins and lower ROE in BABA's recent earnings reports, which makes it a little suspect from a fundamental "Buy and Hold" position for me.

    So there is IV for the stock and a separate IV for each option contract? Is it the same logic for the IV of the contract compared to historic volatility? That is, if the IV of the option contract is greater than the stocks historic volatility then the contract could be over priced?

    • @OptionStrat
      @OptionStrat 8 днів тому

      Not really, the volatility of an option is essentially how much "EXTRINSIC" value is in that option. In other words, how OVERPRICED it is. With stock, there is NO extrinsic values to anything. The volatility of a stock is essentially a different type of volatility. It measure up and down price movement which can and does impact the options IV, but they are 2 separate measures and I am not aware of any way to evaluate one off of the other.

      The KEY is to trade the same essential Bfly over an over to learn about it specifically. For example, I tend to trade 60/50 Put flies with the upper longs at or near the money and the DTE's around 45 - 60 days. I know the "Normal" price for this entry and because I know that, I also know when I see a "SALE" price and that is when I look to enter. More often than not, this will happen when the market is off a little and volatility is elevated a little.

    Looking at what actually happened with these options shows exactly why Flow should NEVER be used to identify a trade opportunity. The stock didn't reach break-even until early Feb so nearly all options expired worthless. The $21 sold put would have been exercised at £21 - the stock was $18.57 on the expiry day (Ouch!!). The $18 sold put for Sept was the best bet - but it was just one. SOOOOOO easy to be misled by seemingly clever software and pay hard for the privilege.
