Ive been watching options videos lately because I saw a guy who made like 100k in 30 mins with NVDA, but hardly spent anything, and I had to know why. I can see why people would consider this riskier than stocks. I think though again - it comes back to psychology and strategy. If you stop stressing about how much you can make, or lose, and start thinking about how it actually works, you can use that to your advantage to make consistent gains.

[@HarLow-t7r]

I’m confused, so is buying a call basically buying a stock at the price it’s at when you placed the call, but later if it went up to your strike price then you buy it for the call price instead of the new price?

[@christianschumaker6594]

​@@HarLow-t7r a contract gives you the option not the obligation to buy or sell 100 shares at a set strike price, premium is relative to the supply & demand of the contract. I hope that cleared something up for you, I'll leave it at this, just like regular trading there is different strategy trading options different ways to make money

[@placebogazebo9671]

I went through about 20 other videos for beginner options traders (to introduce a friend to options) and yours is the best. It gets right to the point without irrelevant junk content.

[@philochristos]

If this had been one of the first videos I saw when I was trying to learn about options, I would've understood them a lot sooner. This was really well done.

[@verefiedxL]

Very well explained. It seems other people explaining feel the need to not mention vital and otherwise nuanced information to those with experience, and that makes it difficult to fully grasp. You’ve explained it thoroughly, covering pretty much all bases. Thank you!

[@noneofyabusiness5978]

Do you have videos on what to look for when selecting stocks to purchase calls or puts?

[@mickeywakefield]

This is well done - but IMO you should be more specific about the danger associated with decay. Options lose value constantly over time, eventually becoming worth nothing when they expire. This means, you can be correct about the price moves, but still lose money on options as the time-decay eats away at any positive movement caused by the price change in the stock. Stocks require you to be correct only about the change in a company's valuation. Options, on the other hand, require you to be correct about the valuation, MORE correct than most other people AND all those things have to happen QUICKLY, as Options expire eventually. Much much greater difficulty.

[@methioswar2916]

So i had a lil crisis today, I was wondering if you could do a vid about how to manage/ close down a iron condor when you get assigned on one leg of the trade.

[@projectfinance]

You can first close the share position and then close the remaining legs of the trade. If you got assigned on the short call, you now have -100 shares and a long call, you could buy back the shares and sell the long call in the same transaction. If you got assigned on the short put, you now have +100 shares and a long call, you could sell the shares and sell the long put in the same transaction. Or you could close the shares and then close the remaining options. I'd personally close the shares with the side of the assignment, then close the other spread (as described above)

[@chrismarkenson2755]

Hello Chris, suppose I buy a call option that's in the money, when epiring date is approaching, and I want to exercise my right to buy the underliyng stocks. How do I do it? And also. Can I do it whenever I want before the expiring date, or after it has expired?

[@projectfinance]

Thanks for watching!

[@Marc1973Dez]

what I see up until @05:10 the difference between just (A) straight buying the stock vs (B) buying a call option is literally = at the end of few weeks or months, IF (only IF) the stocks drop low, on (A) version you lose cash all along the way down whereas on (B) you lose only the CALL option price (option value). Basically, if stocks goes UP though, on (A) side you get ALL the profits for yourself whereas on (B) some of the profits is eaten up when you bought CALL. Is that right?? Am I missing something here??? I see that same idea @ 04:21 numbers. If I had gone through (A), I would have had 4500 US$ instead of only 3600 US$ as shown. Is that a matter of me mixing quantitative vs qualitative numbers (absolute vs percentages?). if you gonna explain here, please use extremely simple verbiage for a real newbie. Thanks. (or perhaps I should focus on the business of (B) buying and selling the CALL options ONLY, and forget the stocks intrinsic to the business??).

[@aledgriffith5773]

apologies if this has been answered, but what is the best Brokerage for me to open as a beginner to trade call options from the UK?

[@ReindeerAER]

So just to clarify, if I buy a call at a $50 strike price and the stock is at say $45 - if the stock goes above $50, it would be in my best interest to hold until I get closer to my expiration date rather than sell fast?

[@projectfinance]

Well it depends. If you continue holding the stock could go higher (more profits for you as the call appreciates) or turn around and head lower (your call loses value). So it depends on what you think the stock will do.

[@sundiata365]

Thank you

[@jayhgoodwin]

I realize this isn't necessarily the point of the video, which is more about the value of option contracts themselves, but in theory shouldn't the price a trader pays for a call be factored into the calculation of profits if it is exercised?

[@projectfinance]

Yes for sure. The intrinsic value explanation was more so talking about the gain that could be made from exercising and closing the resulting stock position, but the 'profit' is the gain from that transaction minus the amount paid for the option initially.

[@MegaLmae]

In the NVDIA call option example isn't the profit $195-$146(share price at the time of purchase) rather than the $195-$150(strike price)???

[@projectfinance]

No because the 150 call has the ability to buy 100 shares at $150/share. If the stock goes to $195, the call can be used to buy at $150 and then sell at the market price of $195, making a $45 profit per share. x100 shares = +$4,500. The option price is $46 which includes that profit, so the trader can just sell the call without needing to exercise it.

[@crypto_peng]

How you build these animations? Yourself?

[@projectfinance]

A talented editor :D I used to do them all myself in older videos (not as good!)

[@jaychen8809]

Who buys your option when you want to sell it before the expiration period? And is it sold immediately or you have to actually wait for a person to buy it.

[@projectfinance]

Another trader or market maker will buy it from you. You will be able to close the option no problem if you are trading liquid options (high trading activity) which basically means you're trading popular stocks/ETFs.

[@Agooo13431]

Great video. I follow all of your videos and learn a lot. I have a specific question about debit put spreads. I have noticed that debit call spreads on stocks with high IV, as UPST for example, were cheap, which made sense to me, as the OTM short leg sold is expensive due to high IV, reducing the premium for the spread. I was surprised to see the same thing happen with DPS on low IV stocks, as SPY, yet found them also to be very cheap. How does that make sense?

[@rfalko07]

Do you offer classes?

[@justkink91]

Im having trouble understanding puts, I know that when you buy a put and it goes below the strike price you make money, buy why do you make money when the stock price goes down? Why does the price of a put go up when stock price goes down, who would pay when their stock fails?

[@mightyllama7715]

@@justkink91 I am pretty new to options as well, but i think that it is similar to short selling in stock trading. You are essentially betting against the market to make the money that other people would have lost. (correct me if you have found the answer)

[@greghudson8263]

Question…what is this strategy where you Sell a Call and a Put at the same strike, preferably ATM. Then you Buy an OTM Call to protect you on the Call side. I understand that you sold a Put and if the price drops below that Put strike, you will be assigned shares. Is this a modification of a Cash Secured Put? Is it a good strategy if I wouldn’t mind owning the shares? Thank you

[@projectfinance]

That would be a short straddle with a long call for upside protection. You'd have big loss potential on the downside and limited/no loss/profit potential on the upside depending on your strikes chosen and total entry credit.
