This strategy is most practical in the Hong Kong stock market, where many investors have been trapped in recent years. Many once high-flying stocks have disappointed shareholders, with Tencent being the most prominent example. Other companies like AIA $AIA(01299.HK$ , HKEX $HKEX(00388.HK$ , and Ping An (China Ping An) $PING AN(02318.HK$ have also failed to meet investors' expectations.

As an enthusiast for option selling, whether for speculative trading or stock hedging, I'm almost always the seller. It's not that I have any bias against being the buyer; it's just that I prefer the unique advantage that comes with being the seller: time.
Think of it this way: I see the option seller as holding the key to time, capable of locking in profits or losses. As long as the contract held expires worthless, the time lock opens, offering patient individuals a generous rewar...

In the backdrop of postponed rate cuts, disappointing macro data, and insufficient sector catalysts, the markets took a hit yesterday, with all three major indices closing lower. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US$ dipped below its 50-day moving average.

Alright, so I'm trying to wrap my head around how IV (Implied Volatility) and option prices are connected to help me out in my trading game.
Here's my notes below – i hope they're helpful.
1. What Makes Option Prices Tick
First off, we've got the Black-Scholes model, the big cheese in the option pricing world. It's got six main ingredients:

What options combinations can be used to bet on a range rather than just a single price?
The naked strangle strategy, simultaneously selling both call and put options with different strike prices but the same expiration date, to bet on a price range.
Next, I will first present the logic behind predicting stock prices, and then explain how to construct a naked strangle for profit.

Before and after the release of financial reports, implied volatility (IV) often experiences a sharp decline, a phenomenon referred to as IV Crush.
This article is divided into three parts: one, introducing the concepts of IV and IV Crush; two, sharing option trading strategies related to IV Crush; three, discussing my own views on NVIDIA.

1. Underlying Asset Selection:
Just like option buyers prioritize liquid assets with high volatility for easy entry and exit, option sellers should do the same. The core element of option pricing is volatility, where higher volatility leads to higher option premiums. Additionally, options on heavily traded stocks are easier to enter and exit due to sufficient liquidity in various price levels.
This principle is particularly evident when comparing trading optio...

With the kickoff of NVIDIA's GTC 2024, three significant bombshells were dropped:

2. The inference performance of GB200 NVL72 increased up to 30 times compared to H100.
3. The introduction of the AI project Project GR00T to boost humanoid robots.
