Excellent video! I started trading options out of the money and found out the hard way that they don’t do much for you. In the money and deep in the money options are the best, and on good companies, no crappy penny stocks.
I've been trading and teaching Options trading for over 15 years now... This trader hit the nail on the head with her presentation.... Well done trader, very well done......
Hey, thank you so much! 😊 It truly means a lot, especially coming from someone with over 15 years of experience in options trading and teaching. Your feedback's like a pat on the back, reassuring me that I'm on the right track. Super glad you found the presentation spot-on! Here's to sharing more insights and learning from each other. Cheers! 🥂
I asked you this question like a week ago and I am impressed that you not only answered it but made a detailed video. Don't know if you saw my question or not but this is awesome.
Wow, you've really outdone yourself with this video. Clear, crisp visuals that answered so many questions that I had about what profits could actually look like itm, atm, & otm as a new trader. I've made a small profit on a few otm trades and wanted to venture into itm and atm trades but really was unclear about what to expect in terms of profit potential. Thanks a bunch🤗
Did some research before hand on options felt like I was in bio chem in high school . Checked out your channel randomly and everything that I was taught before clicked the way you explain stuff is great appreciate the content keep it up subscriber :)
Haha, right? Options can feel like bio chem sometimes, can't they? But it's super cool to know my channel helped make things clearer for you. Honestly, understanding this stuff is all about finding the right explanations that click for you. Really thrilled to hear you've subscribed, and I appreciate the positive vibes!

I absolutely love your videos, i've been taking a stock market course & I still find myself coming to your page for better explanations. The way you break down the information is so much easier to digest. It's empowering, it helps me realize i'm actually learning lol every time I watch your videos I have one of those "ohhh...that's what that means!" moments

Hey thanks so much for the quick breakdown, so many people on youtube try to explain this but they cant seem to just summarize it or just spit it out in a clear and concise summary, you're video was quick and to the point, had great reference points in it and you even attached a live example to see the correlating difference in price action and its effect on the contract between the three ... really appreciate your insight.

Loved this video! Especially when you give examples of buying all 3. Now question is ITM vs Deep ITM…. I would love if you can do a video on that please?!
So happy to hear you loved the video and found the examples useful! 😄 Oh, and talking about ITM vs. deep ITM is a great idea. I'll definitely think about making a video on that. Thanks for the suggestion! Stay tuned!
WOW This was great. explains why I can't get a spy buy to work out. I should be risking more with ITM trades and wait for it to move fast . I also love that you respond to your video's. Keep up the great work.
She absolutely nailed this. I trade ATM options for the exact reason she specified: vega will inflate the premium like crazy on ATM options. High volatility stocks will give you the crazy moves that truly inflate these contracts. The only thing I do not do is set market orders…that’s a good way to zap your potential profits. Limit orders are the way.
Totally with you on that! 😄 It's awesome to see the strategy hitting home, especially when it comes to the sweet spot ATM options can offer with that vega bump. And yeah, high volatility stocks are like the secret ingredient for that extra 'whoosh' in contract values, right? Oh, and you're preaching to the choir about market orders! They sure can take a bite out of your profits if not careful. Limit orders are definitely the smarter move to keep those potential gains in check. Thanks for adding that tip; it's a solid reminder for anyone getting into the trade game. Keep those insights coming!

Great video. I bought a call, out of the money of lucid stock and the price moved 4 dollars but I didn’t see much profit. I think its because it was driven down at first ( manipulation) and then it went green and all the way back up again. So I guess it affected the price.
Hey black girl stocks!! Thank you so much for all the information you provide! I started watching your channel maybe a month or so ago and have so many takeaways already! Even made a few $100 using the information You taught in the option Greeks and spread videos! Signed up for think or swim 2 days ago! The AAPL example in this video showed the movement of the options for days that had already passed. I know the market can make dramatic shifts within seconds but, how accurate do you think think or swim is in predicting, or aiding in, the movement of future trades before you decide to go with a call or put for an option?
@black girl stocks: predicting whether you choose to do a call or put for a certain option you’re analyzing for future use. The example in this video, and the on demand video, showed a play for a date that had already passed. How are you using think or swim paper trading as a tool to gauge the upward or downward movement of an stock prior to buying/selling a call or put for its option? Thanks!
Thank you, in my honest opinion it’s just a tool, but you need to know how to approach each position. You still want to know what’s going on with the stock like fundamentals and patterns.
Wow !! Sister Girl 😀 You & Your RUclips Channel Are Such A Blessing 🙏🙏 To So Many !! People Of All Levels Especially Beginners & Mediocre Experience Levels May God Continue His Blessings 😃🙏🙏 Upon You Always. Sincerely !!
Wow, thank you SO much for those incredibly kind words!

I'm so glad to hear that you getting into options trading. Keep up the great work, and remember, we're always here to help you on your journey. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to ask. Happy trading! 😊🚀
Thanks for the explanation. What I dont understand is, if the current stock is at 100 and I want to buy an option strike price at 120. If the stock goes up past 120 I can buy the stock at 100? Thanks
When you buy an option with a $120 strike price, it's like making a deal to purchase those 100 shares at $120 each, regardless of what the current market price is later on. So if that stock price shoots up to $170 (for example), you've got yourself a sweet deal because you still get to buy at $120 and then immediately sell them back at the current market price of $170. That's the beauty of options - they give you the chance to lock in a price early and potentially benefit if the market swings your way.
Great video. Trying to learn how to trade options. I bought a book called “options trading simplified for beginners”. Are there any books that you recommend to read that is a bit more challenging. After reading this book I hope to be able to read something more intermediate. I have a good understanding of stock investing because I majored in finance but trading is a whole different ball game. Once again great job with the video and I look forward to check more of your stuff out.
Ah, got it! If you're looking for a step up from beginner's material, "Trading Options Greeks: How Time, Volatility, and Other Pricing Factors Drive Profits" by Dan Passarelli is a fantastic read. With your finance background, you'll surely appreciate the deeper dive into the more intricate mechanics of options trading. It's a great bridge into the more intermediate territory and should be pretty insightful for you. Happy exploring that one, and glad you're enjoying the content.
Good point you've raised. The concepts of OTM (Out of the Money), ITM (In the Money), and ATM (At the Money) options apply to both buying and selling positions, but I see how the specifics can change the perspective a bit. My video was more from the buying side, but you're right, it's super important to consider both angles. Thanks for bringing that to my attention - I'll make sure to clarify that distinction in future discussions. Appreciate your input!
@@BlackGirlStocks I normally sell OTM puts in a bull market… and then close early. I was looking at your vid to see if more premium could be made by selling ATM, but being 100% sure to buy to close before expiration. Doesn’t look like it.
Absolutely, selling ATM puts could net you higher premiums because of the increased risk. It's tempting to go for that bigger upfront payoff, but it also brings you closer to potential price swings against you. It really boils down to your comfort with risk and having a strategy to close out early if needed. If you're getting good results and feel confident with your current approach, sticking to it makes sense.Its always good to weigh potential gains against the risks.
@Black Girl Stocks Hello and thank you for all of your videos. I’ve learned a lot from watching them! Hey so I’m still confused about something. so I noticed that when ITM for calls, the strike price gets lower than the STOCK PRICE? it’s my understanding that a call is betting that the price will go up not down? Same with puts… ITM, STRIKE PRICE goes up above the stock price when it should be going down? Should I just choose ITM REGARLES IT IS A PUT OR CALL? For example: I want to buy a put on target (because I believe it will go down from current price ($149.36) to ($145.00) but I want the ITM option, how do you go about it? NOTE: I’m just using ITM AS THE ONLY EXAMPLE so no one else gets confuse. Once I figure the ITM situation the rest is cake 🎂. Thank you in advanced!
My OTM pain story which was 100% my fault for not checking the calendar during earning season. The company sent the wrong report out that said they missed their target. Regardless if I would have spent 1 second to pull down the screen and 👀 I would have never touched it. Thank God for Risk Management.
Question let’s say Apple is trading at $185 I buy a call ITM at $179 does that mean I’d be making profit of the bat as long as the stock price doesn’t drop below $179
Getting straight into your Apple stock call situation: Yes, buying an in-the-money (ITM) call option like at $179 when the stock is trading at $185 puts you in a potentially profitable spot from the get-go. This is mainly because the call option gives you the right, though not the obligation, to buy the stock at $179, which is already cheaper than the market price. But here’s the deal, it’s not just about the difference between the strike price and the current stock price. You have to consider the premium you paid for the call. This premium eats into your profit. So, for you to actually make a profit, Apple’s stock needs to not just stay above $179; it needs to stay above $179 plus whatever premium you paid. And don't forget the other factors like expiration dates and those tricky Greeks! Options lose value as they approach their expiration (that's theta for you), and how sensitive the option price is to changes in the stock price (hello, delta!) plays a big part too. Options trading isn't just about those initial numbers; it’s a bit more dynamic, so keep an eye on those aspects too.
This literally just saved me a Zoom call! 😂🙌🏾 All the questions I had written down for me to ask you were answered in this video…Did IG give you the Boosie treatment 😆 or did you intentionally disable it? I can’t find you!
Sure thing, happy to help! I'll work on putting together something on closing out covered calls when you're ready to sell those shares. Keep an eye out for the upcoming content, and thanks for the suggestion! 🙌🎉
why are my call options coming up verified cancelled my contract was moving up toward my break even point . I set my expiration date to November 15 . What happened ?
Hi, It's definitely confusing when something doesn't go as planned with your options. It's possible that your order was set with certain conditions that weren't met, or there might have been some unexpected liquidity issues - even if it was moving towards your break-even point. Sometimes, too, the market can move quicker than we anticipate, and if there's not enough volume at your strike price as it moves, it might not get filled. It might also be worth double-checking if there were any errors on your end regarding the order details or any restrictions that could have triggered a cancellation. If you've checked all that and everything looked fine on your end, then yeah, your broker's customer service should be able to shed some light on the exact cause. It's crucial to understand what happened to avoid similar issues in the future. Keep an eye on those contract details and market behavior, and hopefully, this won't be a repeating problem.
If you have a stock at 5 dollars and you think there is a big move coming sooner or later like to 10 dollars. Is deep out of the money like 8/9 dollar calls more worth it than a 6 dollar call? Great video tho!
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words about the video! 😄 About your question - it's a pretty cool one. The choice between deep out-of-the-money calls (like those $8/$9 ones you mentioned) versus something closer, like a $6 call, really comes down to what you're aiming for and how much risk you're comfortable with. So, if you're eyeing those $8 or $9 calls, they're gonna be cheaper upfront because they're further away from being in the money. Basically, you're betting on a significant jump. If that big move happens and the stock leaps to, say, $10 like you're hoping, those calls could explode in value, giving you a substantial bang for your buck. The potential return is juicier, but it's riskier - if the stock doesn't make a big move or does it slower than your options expire, you could lose what you put in. On the flip side, going for a $6 call costs more initially since it's closer to the current stock price. This option has a better chance of ending up in the money if the stock price goes up. It's a slightly safer bet with less of that "all or nothing" vibe and could still give you a nice profit if the stock moves as you're expecting. In a nutshell, it boils down to your risk tolerance and what you're aiming to achieve. High risk, high reward with those $8/$9 calls, or a bit safer but still potentially profitable path with the $6 calls. Hope that helps clear things up a bit! Always happy to dive into these convos. 🚀
@@BlackGirlStocks Thats my take on it aswell - but 1 thing more, is it by a lot the money you would get on the 8/9 dollar call? And what is the correct math on it, because the way i calculate it i dont see a big% difference on the gain from the 6$ next to the 8/9$ call . Thanks for the answer in advance!
@@mcfattyydk When you crunch the numbers, the difference in potential gain between the $6 call and those $8/$9 calls might not seem huge at first glance. It's a common puzzle when you're diving into options. Here’s the thing: the math behind options can sometimes feel like you're trying to solve a Rubik's cube in the dark. But to keep it simple, the gain you're eyeing depends a lot on the option's strike price relative to the stock's current price, and how those Greeks we talked about earlier play along. For the $8 or $9 calls to really shine, you'd need a decent leap in the stock's price to get into the money and cover the premium you paid upfront. Because they're out-of-the-money, they're cheaper to buy compared to the $6 calls but they also come with more risk - they need the stock to move more just to break even. Doing the exact math can get a bit tricky without diving into specifics, like the option's current premium, time until expiration, and how volatile the stock is. A basic rule of thumb, though, is to look at the Delta to get a rough idea of how much the option's price might move if the stock price goes up by a dollar. Then, weigh that against how much time is left (Theta), which tells you how much value the option could lose each day. To sum it up, the difference in potential profit doesn't just come down to the strike price; it’s about balancing the risk (how far out-of-the-money your option is) against how much time you have and what you think the stock will do. If the stock doesn’t jump much, those $8/$9 calls might not outperform the $6 call significantly, especially after you factor in the time decay.

Just downloaded Robinhood and bought some options. I hope I didn’t just make a stupid choice 😂. Thanks for breaking down some of the questions I had.

But hey, this is the start of an exciting new journey for you! It can be a bit intimidating, sure, but the key is to keep soaking up as much info as you can. Just focus on honing your strategies, keep an eye on risk management, and you’ll see your skills improve over time. You’ve got this! And if you’ve got more questions or need a bit of guidance down the road, I’m here to help. Here’s to making smart moves and learning lots along the way! 🚀
Great video. I bought a call, out of the money of lucid stock and the price moved 4 dollars but I didn’t see much profit. I think its because it was driven down at first ( manipulation) and then it went green and all the way back up again. So I guess it affected the price.
Implied volatility also remember OTM options have lower Delta value
Thank you so much for your help ! Blessed to have come across your channel last week 🙏🏾

@@BlackGirlStocks excellent, thank you for all you do ! ❤️
when buying put options on robinhood do you buy OTM or ITM?
Its your decision of what to chose based on your outlook. Thats discussed in the video
Thank you for this! 📈📈📈
You bet! 😅
Hey black girl stocks!! Thank you so much for all the information you provide! I started watching your channel maybe a month or so ago and have so many takeaways already! Even made a few $100 using the information You taught in the option Greeks and spread videos! Signed up for think or swim 2 days ago! The AAPL example in this video showed the movement of the options for days that had already passed. I know the market can make dramatic shifts within seconds but, how accurate do you think think or swim is in predicting, or aiding in, the movement of future trades before you decide to go with a call or put for an option?
What do you mean predicting? The MMM Value?
@black girl stocks: predicting whether you choose to do a call or put for a certain option you’re analyzing for future use. The example in this video, and the on demand video, showed a play for a date that had already passed. How are you using think or swim paper trading as a tool to gauge the upward or downward movement of an stock prior to buying/selling a call or put for its option? Thanks!

Hi great videos,I wanted to ask a question: once I have Tiblio is that the only tool Ill use to find "bullish"options,Thanks🙂
Thank you, in my honest opinion it’s just a tool, but you need to know how to approach each position. You still want to know what’s going on with the stock like fundamentals and patterns.

Thanks for the explanation. What I dont understand is, if the current stock is at 100 and I want to buy an option strike price at 120. If the stock goes up past 120 I can buy the stock at 100? Thanks
When you buy an option with a $120 strike price, it's like making a deal to purchase those 100 shares at $120 each, regardless of what the current market price is later on. So if that stock price shoots up to $170 (for example), you've got yourself a sweet deal because you still get to buy at $120 and then immediately sell them back at the current market price of $170. That's the beauty of options - they give you the chance to lock in a price early and potentially benefit if the market swings your way.
@@BlackGirlStocks OK now I understand. Big thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video. Trying to learn how to trade options. I bought a book called “options trading simplified for beginners”. Are there any books that you recommend to read that is a bit more challenging. After reading this book I hope to be able to read something more intermediate. I have a good understanding of stock investing because I majored in finance but trading is a whole different ball game. Once again great job with the video and I look forward to check more of your stuff out.
Ah, got it! If you're looking for a step up from beginner's material, "Trading Options Greeks: How Time, Volatility, and Other Pricing Factors Drive Profits" by Dan Passarelli is a fantastic read. With your finance background, you'll surely appreciate the deeper dive into the more intricate mechanics of options trading.
It's a great bridge into the more intermediate territory and should be pretty insightful for you. Happy exploring that one, and glad you're enjoying the content.
@@BlackGirlStocks thanks for the recommendation. I will def check out this book next. Keep doing ya thing on RUclips! You got great stuff.
Great video !!

Newbie here! In your example you started with Amazon but then you gave option price of apple? Please tell me if I’m missed something…. Thank you❤️
Yes I put in the video that I decided to switch to Apple. Cheaper options
ilove ITM options
did u buy 10 contracts each for that swing trade ????? it said saved orders +10
Yeah, I picked up 10 contracts for that swing trade
Thank you so much this video is excellent
Thank you so much 📈📈📈📈
You never said if you were buying or selling the options. Thanks
Good point you've raised. The concepts of OTM (Out of the Money), ITM (In the Money), and ATM (At the Money) options apply to both buying and selling positions, but I see how the specifics can change the perspective a bit. My video was more from the buying side, but you're right, it's super important to consider both angles. Thanks for bringing that to my attention - I'll make sure to clarify that distinction in future discussions. Appreciate your input!
@@BlackGirlStocks I normally sell OTM puts in a bull market… and then close early. I was looking at your vid to see if more premium could be made by selling ATM, but being 100% sure to buy to close before expiration. Doesn’t look like it.
Absolutely, selling ATM puts could net you higher premiums because of the increased risk. It's tempting to go for that bigger upfront payoff, but it also brings you closer to potential price swings against you.
It really boils down to your comfort with risk and having a strategy to close out early if needed. If you're getting good results and feel confident with your current approach, sticking to it makes sense.Its always good to weigh potential gains against the risks.
@Black Girl Stocks Hello and thank you for all of your videos. I’ve learned a lot from watching them! Hey so I’m still confused about something. so I noticed that when ITM for calls, the strike price gets lower than the STOCK PRICE? it’s my understanding that a call is betting that the price will go up not down? Same with puts… ITM, STRIKE PRICE goes up above the stock price when it should be going down? Should I just choose ITM REGARLES IT IS A PUT OR CALL? For example: I want to buy a put on target (because I believe it will go down from current price ($149.36) to ($145.00) but I want the ITM option, how do you go about it? NOTE: I’m just using ITM AS THE ONLY EXAMPLE so no one else gets confuse. Once I figure the ITM situation the rest is cake 🎂. Thank you in advanced!
My OTM pain story which was 100% my fault for not checking the calendar during earning season. The company sent the wrong report out that said they missed their target. Regardless if I would have spent 1 second to pull down the screen and 👀 I would have never touched it. Thank God for Risk Management.
Oh wow 📈📈📈📈
Question let’s say Apple is trading at $185 I buy a call ITM at $179 does that mean I’d be making profit of the bat as long as the stock price doesn’t drop below $179
Getting straight into your Apple stock call situation: Yes, buying an in-the-money (ITM) call option like at $179 when the stock is trading at $185 puts you in a potentially profitable spot from the get-go. This is mainly because the call option gives you the right, though not the obligation, to buy the stock at $179, which is already cheaper than the market price.
But here’s the deal, it’s not just about the difference between the strike price and the current stock price. You have to consider the premium you paid for the call. This premium eats into your profit. So, for you to actually make a profit, Apple’s stock needs to not just stay above $179; it needs to stay above $179 plus whatever premium you paid.
And don't forget the other factors like expiration dates and those tricky Greeks! Options lose value as they approach their expiration (that's theta for you), and how sensitive the option price is to changes in the stock price (hello, delta!) plays a big part too. Options trading isn't just about those initial numbers; it’s a bit more dynamic, so keep an eye on those aspects too.
very informative
This literally just saved me a Zoom call! 😂🙌🏾 All the questions I had written down for me to ask you were answered in this video…Did IG give you the Boosie treatment 😆 or did you intentionally disable it? I can’t find you!

Can you please cover closing out covered call contracts with 100 shares to sell out of the market. Thank you🎉
Sure thing, happy to help! I'll work on putting together something on closing out covered calls when you're ready to sell those shares. Keep an eye out for the upcoming content, and thanks for the suggestion! 🙌🎉
why are my call options coming up verified cancelled my contract was moving up toward my break even point . I set my expiration date to November 15 . What happened ?
Hi, It's definitely confusing when something doesn't go as planned with your options. It's possible that your order was set with certain conditions that weren't met, or there might have been some unexpected liquidity issues - even if it was moving towards your break-even point. Sometimes, too, the market can move quicker than we anticipate, and if there's not enough volume at your strike price as it moves, it might not get filled. It might also be worth double-checking if there were any errors on your end regarding the order details or any restrictions that could have triggered a cancellation.
If you've checked all that and everything looked fine on your end, then yeah, your broker's customer service should be able to shed some light on the exact cause. It's crucial to understand what happened to avoid similar issues in the future. Keep an eye on those contract details and market behavior, and hopefully, this won't be a repeating problem.
If you have a stock at 5 dollars and you think there is a big move coming sooner or later like to 10 dollars. Is deep out of the money like 8/9 dollar calls more worth it than a 6 dollar call? Great video tho!
Hey there!
Thanks for the kind words about the video! 😄 About your question - it's a pretty cool one. The choice between deep out-of-the-money calls (like those $8/$9 ones you mentioned) versus something closer, like a $6 call, really comes down to what you're aiming for and how much risk you're comfortable with.
So, if you're eyeing those $8 or $9 calls, they're gonna be cheaper upfront because they're further away from being in the money. Basically, you're betting on a significant jump. If that big move happens and the stock leaps to, say, $10 like you're hoping, those calls could explode in value, giving you a substantial bang for your buck. The potential return is juicier, but it's riskier - if the stock doesn't make a big move or does it slower than your options expire, you could lose what you put in.
On the flip side, going for a $6 call costs more initially since it's closer to the current stock price. This option has a better chance of ending up in the money if the stock price goes up. It's a slightly safer bet with less of that "all or nothing" vibe and could still give you a nice profit if the stock moves as you're expecting.
In a nutshell, it boils down to your risk tolerance and what you're aiming to achieve. High risk, high reward with those $8/$9 calls, or a bit safer but still potentially profitable path with the $6 calls.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit! Always happy to dive into these convos. 🚀
@@BlackGirlStocks Thats my take on it aswell - but 1 thing more, is it by a lot the money you would get on the 8/9 dollar call? And what is the correct math on it, because the way i calculate it i dont see a big% difference on the gain from the 6$ next to the 8/9$ call . Thanks for the answer in advance!
@@mcfattyydk When you crunch the numbers, the difference in potential gain between the $6 call and those $8/$9 calls might not seem huge at first glance. It's a common puzzle when you're diving into options.
Here’s the thing: the math behind options can sometimes feel like you're trying to solve a Rubik's cube in the dark. But to keep it simple, the gain you're eyeing depends a lot on the option's strike price relative to the stock's current price, and how those Greeks we talked about earlier play along.
For the $8 or $9 calls to really shine, you'd need a decent leap in the stock's price to get into the money and cover the premium you paid upfront. Because they're out-of-the-money, they're cheaper to buy compared to the $6 calls but they also come with more risk - they need the stock to move more just to break even.
Doing the exact math can get a bit tricky without diving into specifics, like the option's current premium, time until expiration, and how volatile the stock is. A basic rule of thumb, though, is to look at the Delta to get a rough idea of how much the option's price might move if the stock price goes up by a dollar. Then, weigh that against how much time is left (Theta), which tells you how much value the option could lose each day.
To sum it up, the difference in potential profit doesn't just come down to the strike price; it’s about balancing the risk (how far out-of-the-money your option is) against how much time you have and what you think the stock will do. If the stock doesn’t jump much, those $8/$9 calls might not outperform the $6 call significantly, especially after you factor in the time decay.
