Should you square off by 3:30 PM or hold overnight?

Positional Option Selling: Risk, Hedging and Overnight Positions Explained

Positional sellers take risk home overnight — and that demands a different mindset entirely. In this video, learn how to build and hedge a short strangle across multiple days, why your risk appetite and peace of mind should drive the choice, and how some traders split capital across both styles.

Hedging with Spreads & Iron Condors: The Smart Seller's Guide

Unlimited risk is optional — most sellers just don't hedge properly.

Losing Options Trade? Adjust It — Don't Panic Sell

When the market moves against you, the wrong response costs more than the trade.

Zero Day to Expiry Explained: How Option Sellers Maximize Theta

How Option Greeks Behave in Sideways and Trending Markets

Sideways markets are a seller's best friend — Theta churns, Delta and Gamma stay quiet. But trending markets flip the equation fast. In this video, learn how each Greek behaves across market conditions and what sellers must do to survive when enemies outrun allies.

Stop Loss and Risk Reward Ratio Explained by an Options Seller

Most traders fear stop losses instead of using them as tools. In this video, learn two stop loss methods—fixed capital and premium-based—how trailing stops protect profits without sacrificing upside, and why a minimum 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio is the only standard worth setting for every trade.
