My 2025 Year-End Options Showcase

@Lzmoo shared his option trading strategies:

I executed multiple adjustments $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ options throughout November and December 2025. Specifically, I was trading vertical spreads (Buying and Selling Calls/Puts) at various strikes like 235/245/250.

While my $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ trades were simple "buy and hold" Bull Put Spreads, my AMD trades became a complex battle of "repairing" positions.Read more>>

@Kerrisdale shared his most memorable option trade of the year:

When the $United States Natural Gas (UNG.US)$ dropped to 12 USD, it touched the support line spanning across more than 17 years of UNG price in the Moomoo chart. Since 2007 , it was at ATH of 4088 USD! Reaching a level of 12 usd or lower, it is definitely a buy ! I am pretty bullish on this energy stock for many days and weeks to come. I bought UNG CALL 14 lots at strike price 12 usd.Read more>>

Recent Notable Trades:

Last Friday, Two traders long Feb 20, 2026 $490 calls and March 20, 2026 $500 calls, each spending over $4 million. These positions express strong bullish sentiment extending into next year.

Last Thursday, one trader executed a call calendar spread—selling Dec 26, 2025 $510 calls (collecting $18.2M) while buying Feb 20, 2026 $650 calls ($32.18M net cost: ~$14M). This suggests expectations for near-term consolidation followed by a substantial rally.Read more>>

@ImSteven shared his thoughts on the collapse of $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ 's implied volatility to 1-year lows:

Nvidia has seen a similarly dramatic IV reset. Its IVP is just 1%—in other words, Nvidia’s current implied volatility is near the bottom of its one-year range. Therefore, it’s less about “the last chance to sell short puts” but more about a change in the core options playbook.

Previously, the typical approach was to sell low-delta, far out-of-the-money puts purely to harvest premium while minimizing assignment risk. Going forward, the more suitable framework increasingly becomes either (i) selling puts with a willingness to take assignment, or (ii) shifting to the long side.Read more>>
