Daily Options Selling Strategy | CoreWeave's Weak Guidance, Marvell Technology's Earnings Report Speculation, Compute and Chip Stocks' Options Strategies

Welcome to the daily profit opportunities section of the options selling zone. This column focuses on short-term investment opportunities in the options market for the day. Each listed item is evaluated based on factors such as annualized return on investment (ROI), probability of expiring out-of-the-money, and premium income.

Screening criteria

OpenFutubull >> Market >> Options >> Seller Zone >> Filter; Common filtering criteria for Cash Secured Put and Covered Call strategies: IV Percentile > 40%; Total options volume > 60,000 contracts; Days to expiration 0-45; Daily options volume/open interest > 500 contracts; ROI > 2%; Annualized ROI > 30%. Cash Secured Put: OTM probability > 60%; Covered Call: OTM probability > 70%;

Underlying selection rules: For each strategy, select the top four underlyings by profitability (only the highest-probability contract for each stock); if fewer than four underlyings are available, select all. If there are duplicate stocks, exclude the contract with the lower annualized ROI and select another underlying to ensure complementarity. The probability indicates the chance that the sold option contract will not be exercised, i.e., the out-of-the-money probability. The higher the probability, the smaller the chance of being exercised, and the greater the likelihood of earning stable option premiums. Data source: Futubull; data is as of the closing price of the previous trading day.

What is a Cash Secured Put?

- Sell put options on stocks you are willing to hold.

- You receive the premium immediately – if the option expires worthless, this is your maximum profit.

- If the stock falls below the strike price at expiration, you may be assigned and required to buy 100 shares per contract at the strike price (net cost = strike price - premium received).

- You keep enough cash to cover the potential purchase obligation, hence the term 'cash secured.'

Typical uses:

- Income generation: Earn recurring income through collecting premiums.

- Discounted buying: Acquire shares at an effectively lower price.

What is a Covered Call?

- You already own the stock and sell the corresponding call options (i.e., 'covered call').

- You can immediately collect the premium as income.

- If the stock price is below the strike price, the option expires worthless, and you keep the stock and the premium.

If the stock price is higher than the strike price, you are obligated to sell the stock at the strike price (capping your upside gains), but you still get to keep the premium.

Typical uses:

- Income Generation: Earn additional option income while holding the stock.

- Exit Strategy: Sell the stock at the target price while earning extra income.

Strategy Tips

- Focus on high-probability trades to enhance safety.
- MonitoringImplied Volatility(IV) — A higher IV means higher premiums but also greater price volatility.
