so you pretty much follow the tastytrade formulas?

@Courtney Shannon Amber i was using sh, sqqq (inverse type etfs). I was struggling buying puts because the spreads between bids and asks were so wide i didn't want to have a big gap to overcome. I really haven't done a lot of spreads, this week I just started. I prefer doing standard long calls and puts and keep it a simple directional bet.

Agree with the point around earnings. It is a drone military play that has been on fire this past week. I bought lots of 100s to do 1 week covered calls to basically scalp a weeks profits. So far I have been successful on about 3 lots and asked AI for option suggestion. I personally like the gaining appreciation on shares and hoping covered call caps since I had a 4 dte on them. It's a cheaper stock so I was more aggressive on my plays. If it went down, I was fine holding based on income generated from high iv.

I had one of those moments this week. I do more trading stocks than selling options but with premiums up Im adding more options in my portfolio. I sold a strangle on NBIS (my fav stock for long term) the night before Nvidia bought 10% of the company. Ouch. I always like having 2x the stock as my delta on my short call so I still came out ahead but not if I had just held the stock which is the way I handle it a high majority of the time. By the way, the NVDA and NBIS partnership will be such a good thing in the future. Keep NBIS on your radar. It's essentially a company with the talent of a hyperscaler with the mentality of a start-up. They were Yandex (Russian Google) and had to unload majority of their company to diversify officially away from Russia. Now, they are determined to build it back up to size. Bezos when heavy in one of their investments and Jensen Huang has entered a 2 Billion inventment for 10% of company. I personally think several of the hyper scalers may try and buy them in the future if they can. Tesla and Google both make a lot of sense.
