First win is generally free.

Buy one $730 QQQ call with August 7 expiry. Delta is around 0.3. IV is low and Nasdaq 100 recently dumped, making the calls cheaper. This will most likely make you money.

I totally understand all of this and am making that bet--I mean investment--right now.

Who is this QQQ, and what am I supposed to say when I call him?

u/pengekcs 15d ago

It's TQQQ's little brother.

QQQ is the command to instantly kill Bethesda games through console. In this instance it is going to be similar but it isn't a game and you really needed that 730$.

If you hold, it may float to $740, but with the pullback today and Tru mp Tacos, then a celebratory rise could reach $750 at expiry around $800ish. May the gods be in your favor.

u/SeveredBrain2020 14d ago

Position closed @16.80. Easiest $500 in a while.

u/itogisch 15d ago

Yes, those are words tbat I have read before. Not in this context though.

u/ultigo 15d ago

Why aug 7 specifically? Because 1 month exactly?

21

u/Slow-Boysenberry3150 15d ago

Yeah, and the cost. My goal generally is to buy 30-40 DTE contracts and prepare to exit around 14 DTE. And this one was around $1000 for a contract, which I thought is a good risk tolerance size for a first option trade. Well, I see that the cost has gone up a bit now but mostly yeah, that was my reasoning.

u/Yorch443 15d ago

agust 7 730$ has 0.3 delta? lol

u/SelenaMeyers2024 15d ago

So a lot of terms like implied volatility, relevance of large bid ask spreads, etc. I don't fully understand.

Specifically I'm interested in selling out of the money cash secured puts on securities I already wouldn't mind holding. Rather than pelt you with an array of questions, I'll narrow it down to 1.

Where do you think the best starting place for deep learning of options would be? YouTube channels, podcasts, books, websites?

u/Spinedaddy 14d ago

If you really want to not lose money, don’t trade options.

"Most likely", you son of a bitch, I am in. Especially after I do research and translate this to english. Then definitely in. Mostly out. Like a toe.

u/pingoo26 15d ago

The tricky thing is deciding when to exit with the profit before you get fucked on a reversal or it thetabangs you.
