What are option Greeks?
Option Greeks are important measures for traders. They show how an option's price reacts to different factors like changes in the asset's price, time passing, implied volatility, and more.
The main Greeks are:
1) Delta: Shows how the option's price changes with the asset's price.
2) Gamma: Predicts how the asset's price movements affect the option's price.
3) Theta: Measures how much the option's price decreases over ti...

Last month, Duan Yongping's $14.4 billion position came to light.
Duan Yongping is not an “options speculator,” he shared that his most commonly used strategy is to sell Covered Calls and Puts.
He shared his experience of short Nvidia, shorted 101 calls, and earned 15000 dollars.
This article is brief and mainly includes the following two aspects:

Looking to Get into NVIDIA But Options Are Too Pricey? Here's How to Open a Position with Lower Cost
$NVIDIA(NVDA.US$'s options trajectory has been under intense scrutiny lately, with the past month alone witnessing it occupying a quarter of the options market.
Apart from those bullish on NVIDIA throughout this year, many Mooers here also believe that NVIDIA's downtrend isn't over yet: fundamentally, as its size increases, sustaining high-profit growth becomes challenging, insufficient to sup...

1. In a hot market, there are abundant opportunities, even for options sellers.
Shorting volatility, although akin to grabbing a hot coal, can be profitable if managed well. The volatility of $Super Micro Computer(SMCI.US$ is excessively high; there are even trades for 1800 call options at expiration. Obviously, this strike price is unattainable, but due to the high volatility, there's a significant risk of interim losses. Position control is crucial; one must avoid being liquida...

Recently moomoo launched an options trading commission waiver card worth USD70 (need to claim the card and perform at least 1 trade in the US market per month to qualify) so there has been increased interest in options trading among my moomoo friends. @SSS AhHuatKopi

Last week, I gave you a preview of a new tool that moomoo is about to launch: Volatility Analysis.
It was through this new tool that I noticed an IV Crush phenomenon occurring in NVIDIA's options after the GTC conference.

During the period surrounding earnings seasons, I pay extra heed to Vega.
Vega can be understood as the amount by which an option's price changes for a one-unit change in implied volatility (IV). It represents the first derivative of an option's price with respect to implied volatility.
Before earnings reports are released, there's a lot of uncertainty, causing volatility to skyrocket. After the reports are out, uncertainties get resolved, leading to a rapid decline in ...

What are some good undervalued stocks you guys have on your list?
Bought $MMA Offshore Ltd(MRM.AU$ last year and it’s been really good to me. Was looking at more options that might be undervalued according to you guys?
$S&P/ASX 200(.XJO.AU$

Is my current focus when trading options. I came to options trading, as I imagine many do, solely focused on delta and direction. Ha! As I didn’t papertrade first, unsurprisingly, I lost money immediately. For me, having “skin in the game” forced me to pay attention, but I’d strongly advise anyone interested in options to papertrade first! Gamma is certainly exciting, and one day I will screen for that more, but my account is too small (for now!) I also don’t really need to he...

$E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures(JUN4)(NQmain.US$ very tight wall of call and puts. will be very volatile today unless a reverse gamma or gamma squeeze happens.
RIPPER : IMO, do not even pay any attention to the Greeks when learning options. You will understand them in due time WHEN the time is due.
Just make sure to pay attention to the volatility with options and learn about gamma.
