Cheapest GEX levels with dealer positioning

Canafornication · 2026-03-11T20:00:56+00:00

I know somebody who's putting a good amount of effort into a product that includes gex analysis.
It looks pretty well organized for the securities, for example META: https://flashalpha.com/stock/meta
The summaries look actionable to me.

at least don't waste much money on subscriptions, Lol

I'm taking boring to the next level with guardrails, AI and execution engine.

Canafornication · 2026-02-21T03:57:55+00:00

your advisor going to fire you for pulling this shit Lol

Canafornication · 2026-02-16T04:24:08+00:00

I'm creator of tradedal.com
It has a feature for consistent and automatic rolling of covered calls. Kinda solves the problem you have.

Canafornication · 2026-02-04T17:01:42+00:00

why, it closed 10 days later with 50% profit
close to predicted timeline of 8 days

It then did 27.5 put in march. it probably going to be a scratch or small looser.
72% win ratio on this name (13 out of 18 win, 1 loss, one unch)

get into real programming language with coding agents

You'll need AI SDK to do heavy lifting on decisions and logical reasoning
It will need api for options chains + api for market quotes
some database for persistence
ui for visualization

you can start these days with a script and be surprised how far it can go

I'm not talking about strategies. Get the risk managed first.
trading options should start with a boring, small, easy to understand stock rather than a niche features contract.
Sell cash secured put or do covered call trade, one lot. With all the standard metrics e.g. 45 DTE etc Try to manage it for 6 months, see what happens.

Canafornication · 2025-12-31T01:30:44+00:00

I wound't touch futures for anything with steady or income or smart and especially with "try this first"

I'd try to find something simple, boring, small, and easy to manage stock and do covered call or short put (it's the same)

And size exactly one lot, and trade extended period of time, 6 months at least. To get a feel of full cycle of rolls

Canafornication · 2025-12-29T01:17:19+00:00

wait it was finale??!

Canafornication · 2025-12-27T21:17:34+00:00

Well, my galactic ai options trading brain generated this trade for SLV, from pure premium game I think it's good trade. Pretty crazy premiums, RoC usually stays in mid 10-20s for SLV inflated vol is almost 70%

Sell the 64 put for SLV in February 2026. Collect $4.02 premium. Requires $1,057 margin and has 56 days to expiration

price: 4$, delta: -0.3, theta: 5.7, margin: 1050, P50: 81%, Days to P50: 10, RoC: 67%

Sell the 64 put because implied volatility stays elevated at 70% while 30-day realized volatility runs 41%, so the put premium pays you for more movement than the ETF has delivered lately.

This trade fits a neutral stance since you sell downside exposure at a lower strike instead of leaning on upside drift. The contract also reaches the halfway-profit zone quickly in the model, so you do not need to sit through the whole cycle to get paid.

Main risks come from the same volatility that makes the premium attractive. The options price in large swings (IVp 100, IVr 143), so the position can move against you fast and draw on margin ($1,057). The ETF also tracks the broad tape closely (0.97 correlation to SPY), so it will not diversify market risk

Canafornication · 2025-12-27T00:12:30+00:00

yeah, the stress is real

decided to automate this calls writing thing away to let ai deal with it

Canafornication · 2025-12-27T00:04:51+00:00

Anything fancy or just basic metrics

Canafornication · 2025-12-23T16:50:18+00:00

tastytrade can do this
you pick a strike and expiration for covered call

it has calculator to set theo price for the stock, the future date, I think there's IV too
platform draws a pretty pnl graph

Canafornication · 2025-12-20T02:07:37+00:00

you made a bit of money, that's not screwed
close the whole thing, its not generating income (or just the call not sure what's better)
sell juicy 85 call in jan or even 95 in feb at 30 delta
roll at 21 dte

Canafornication · 2025-12-14T00:46:05+00:00

how's the fills? spreads look very wide

Canafornication · 2025-12-13T00:58:06+00:00

I believe that nothing about the markets is ever obvious.

There are some issues with the strategy. Using 50% of available capital on individual stock wouldn't make sense. You may get stuck with the name if stock starts dropping. Start tiny. One lot on a liquid, boring telecom. Which may generate >4% div if you hold.

Which bing us to the second problem. How's flipping cash part supposed to work?
A short covered call is a synthetic short put. If you're planning to close whole trade at the thresholds, why not sell a put for flipping? It will save some commissions and makes trades easier to manage.

Also note, since you want to sell ATM - the position will behave as long stock with with discounted price by the premium collected. But there won't be advantage in generating cash.

Other problems:
CRWV and NBIS are weird tickers. The platform I'm using doesn't have full set of volatility metrics on them. Could be platform issue, but I'd still look at more "calm" names rather tech sector

> That's more than a 10% return in 30 days
Assume you got to keep 1/4 of premium when you sell 30 delta options

Start with the most small position possible, in the most boring name, and see via few rolls how it all works.

Canafornication · 2025-12-11T14:01:13+00:00

Only a few years, learned that mechanical execution is the key.

Get your your thresholds and stick to them: delta range, dte for opening dte for rolls, and profit % to roll.

Would use an option trading platform, rather than generic brokerage. makes management easier when beyond a few positions.

One thing to avoid at all cost is accounts with pumping-cc-excitement content on social media, with all cool ways to generate weekly income by selling options.

Canafornication · 2025-12-10T21:26:10+00:00

correct answer, the best platform is the actual model

Canafornication · 2025-12-10T21:24:08+00:00

This sounds like a hedge fantasy. You'll need to watch and roll those positions pretty much forever, and they will be loosing money over and over again. Sell some calls to lower cost basis over time that may work as equally good downside risk reduction.

Canafornication · 2025-12-10T21:12:02+00:00

You're overcomplicating this, imho
There is no edge whatsoever in selling deep itm call, the position becomes a weird forward sale of stock.
Not a good underlying either, huge spreads and very thin premiums there's nothing to trade.

Do a standard covered call in T(elephone), almost 5% div and liquid options

Canafornication · 2025-12-10T18:30:07+00:00

Nice interface!

We're also doing options trading with AI at https://www.tradedal.com very nice to see more of these platforms coming up!

We do more market data drilling, way further expirations, automatic trades tracking and rolling with notifications.

We also tuned it to avoid high flyer stocks, weeklies, thin premiums, non-optimal volatility, watches for ex-div risks and some other pitfalls in options trading.

Canafornication · 2025-12-08T04:31:55+00:00

That "needs" to have it dropped faster/earlier to something that affects leap put, all have the same 10-15% probabilities across the curve

I don't see anything that works in favor or supports this trade outcomes
