Bloom Energy Trade Idea Jun 4, 2026 05:04 Bloom Energy has gone from $55 to $280 in a year on the AI infrastructure story. It's down today with an IV rank of 72 and monthly implied volatility over 120%. That means the options market is pricing in a stock that can double or go to zero inside of a year. The trade is a 1x2 put spread: buy the 165 put, sell two 150 puts in July, for a $1.50 credit. POP sits at 95% and the break-even is around

First Red Day in 9: Here's the Microsoft Trade Jun 3, 2026 05:04 Nine days of gains. Then this. All four indices are in the red and Microsoft is lagging on top of that down today without having participated much in the rally either. That setup is exactly what this trade looks for. IV rank on MSFT is at 58, which is high for this name. The trade: buy the 405 put, sell two 395 puts in the July cycle with 44 days to go. That gets filled for a $3.30 credit, an 82

ServiceNow Trade Setup Jun 3, 2026 03:34 ServiceNow is down almost while the market sits at all-time highs. That kind of divergence is exactly what options traders look for. The trade: buy one 110 put, sell three 100 puts for a net credit of $190. That structure gives you a break-even near $95, right where the stock was trading just a few weeks ago. Probability of profit sits at 86% and theta decay runs at $10 a day. The only catch is bu

Apple Stock Short Strangle Jun 1, 2026 03:58 Apple is down nearly 2% today and IV rank is climbing toward 40. That combination is exactly what you look for before selling a strangle. The trade: sell the 280 put and the 335 call in the July cycle with 46 days to expiration, both at one standard deviation. The credit collected is over $400, theta decay runs at $13.50 a day, and the break-even on the downside sits near a level Apple has not tra

Bullish Trade on Gold May 22, 2026 04:41 Gold and Apple have almost the same correlation to the stock market. Apple is at all-time highs. Gold is sitting at $415 doing nothing. Tony Battista thinks gold is about to catch a bid. The trade structure turns that thesis into a bullish put ratio spread with an 87% probability of profit and a break even below a one standard deviation move. Anywhere above that break even, the trade wins. If gold

Covered Call on Robinhood Stock May 21, 2026 03:39 Robinhood stock dropped from $120 to $75. Most traders would either hold and hope or cut the loss. Jamal bought it and immediately sold a call against it. A covered call turns a stock position into an income trade. You buy the stock, sell an upside call, and collect premium that lowers your cost basis every single cycle.

Iron Condor Trade on GOOGL May 20, 2026 04:40 Google is down three dollars on a day when the market is ripping higher. That kind of relative weakness is exactly the setup Jamal looks for before putting on a neutral iron condor trade. The logic: Google has a $26 expected move. The short strikes are placed outside that range on both sides. If the stock just does nothing for the next 29 days, the trade works. Defined risk, limited buying power

Parking Money in Crypto Options May 18, 2026 03:19 The market is selling off but the VIX is down 30 cents. No capitulation, no volatility expansion, nothing worth selling in equity indexes right now. So Jamal is going to crypto. IBIT is the Bitcoin ETF, it is sitting at the lower end of its recent range, and selling a strangle around it gives you almost $5 a day in theta decay with relatively cheap buying power. When you do not know what to do i

Tesla Strangle Trade May 15, 2026 03:38 Tesla has traded between $350 and $500 over the past six months. Jamal is going outside that entire range on both sides with a short strangle in June. The logic is simple: if the stock could not break out of that range during one of the wildest six months in recent market history, why would it do it in the next 34 days? IVR of 16 makes this a cheaper setup than usual, but volatility has been tic

Bonds Crashing. Here is the Trade May 13, 2026 04:56 Bonds are crashing and rates are going higher. That is not what the administration wants. And if you think bonds stay near the low end of their recent range, there is a simple short put trade that pays you $11 a day in theta to wait. Jamal walks through a live short put on the 108 strike of the US Treasury bond futures with 44 days to go. The bond is trading at 111-16, sitting at the very low en

Microsoft Lags. Here Is The Play May 11, 2026 05:24 Options trading on Microsoft when the market is at all-time highs but MSFT is nowhere near its peak. Put ratio spread setup: buy one 390 put, sell two $380 puts in June for a $200 credit with 86% probability and a break even down near $370.

Jade Lizard on McDonald's Stock May 7, 2026 04:11 Options trading on McDonald's after it popped to $291 on earnings and then reversed hard to $282. Live trading a jade lizard here means selling a call spread at the 292/295 strikes to collect premium and adding a 275 short put below to get the long delta needed to catch the move back up. The jade lizard option strategy fills at $5.55 with 23 long deltas, 75% probability of profit, and no risk to t

EWY Call Ratio Spread May 6, 2026 06:06 Options trading the memory stock mania without paying for Micron or SanDisk at all-time highs. How to trade options on the same theme with less noise: the South Korea ETF EWY holds Samsung and SK Hynix, both directly tied to the memory boom, and the call skew on EWY is significant. This live call ratio spread walkthrough buys the 190 call and sells two 205 calls in June for a 45 cent credit, cre
