To The Moon

Getting started amounts with options trading.  I'm starting out on selling put options on the platform and need to find out what I need in my trading account to allow me to complete a transaction.  I've tried to do Telsa, Apple and now Coin and everytime I've tried it, the answer is deposit more into your account.  How much do I need in my account to do these trades?  I'd like to take advantage of these short dated options. 

$Uranium(UEC)$  will rise if America strikes so now is the time to buy. 

$标普500ETF(SPY)$   $特斯拉(TSLA)$   $美光科技(MU)$  

Is the Sharpe ratio broken? 😭 

Hey folks, short-term options just got a major upgrade – and it’s a damn double-edged sword. SEC just approved Nasdaq ISE’s rule change starting Jan 26, 2026. Big names like TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, META, AVGO, GOOGL, MSFT and even Bitcoin ETFs now get Monday and Wednesday expirations on top of Fridays. More expiry days = tighter hedging, faster reactions to news, and juicier premium for sellers. But let’s be real: this shit will crank up intraday volatility hard. Gamma squeezes hit faster, market makers delta-hedge like crazy, and retail degens will chase those cheap 0-2 DTE lottery tickets only to get IV crushed and bleed out. Pros can run spreads and iron condors better now.

shorter waiting time for covered call [Miser]

Risky

wooi nice option to earn free money for us gogogogog

now no need to wait till Friday. [Happy]

interesting, will need to look at it for sure

Cool! Additional days to earn from selling options!

awesome

Great!!! Shorter expiry window. Lower exposure risk.

The potential for doing wheeling (selling covered call and cash secured puts) is now much higher with more options of options available (see what I did there? 😁)

awesome! more chance to trade!!

it offers more choices for option traders

it offers more good opportunity for option traders to trade

Great

Big thanks for the clear breakdown — the Monday/Wednesday additions on these mega-cap names and IBIT feel like a game-changer for event-driven and theta plays. I’m most pumped about TSLA because of its volatility sweet spot; those Wednesday expiries should be perfect for reacting to Elon/announcement moves mid-week. Will be sharing some live trades soon — let’s grab those Tiger Coins and the handbook! 📈😄

Great news for options traders! Starting 26 January 2026, Nasdaq will expand its Short-Term Option (STO) Series to add Monday and Wednesday expirations, alongside the standard Friday weekly expirations, for options on select individual stocks and ETFs. Q1 2026 Eligible Securities For the first quarter of 2026, the program will apply to the following nine securities: Big Tech Stocks: $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , $Apple(AAPL)$ , $Microsoft(MSFT)$ , $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ , $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ ,

Recently, the U.S. stock options market has ushered in an upgrade that is not considered a "explosion" but has a profound impact on traders: options on some highly liquid stocks have begun to be addedDue on Monday and WednesdayThe contract series is no longer just the traditional Friday expiration. Let's talk about which stocks first. At present, the new ones expiring on Monday and Wednesday are mainly concentrated on the targets with the largest trading volume and high participation of institutions and retail investors, including$Apple (AAPL) $、$Microsoft (MSFT) $、$Amazon (AMZN) $、$Google (GOOG) $、

SEC has approved a rule change proposed by Nasdaq ISE. Starting January 26, 2026, a select group of mega-cap stocks and ETFs will be eligible for additional Monday and Wednesday short-term option expiries, expanding the existing short-term options program. Who will join Monday & Wednesday options and when to trade? According to Nasdaq’s Q1 2026 eligibility list, the first nine securities include Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Broadcom, Alphabet, and iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. The list will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted as eligibility changes. New Monday/Wednesday expiries will not be listed around earnings dates, settlement will continue at the regular market close, and traders are explicitly warned about post-market price risks that may trigger unexpecte

The introduction of short-dated options, such as those with Monday and Wednesday expiries, presents both new opportunities and risks for traders and investors. For some symbols like SPY and QQQ, options contracts can now expire every day from Monday to Friday. Impact on Hedging and Volatility Hedging: The availability of more frequent expiries allows for more precise hedging against specific, short-term events like earnings announcements or economic data releases. Investors can use strategies like a Collar with Stock, which involves buying a put for downside protection and selling a call to finance the cost, to create a protective range around their stock position for a shorter duration. This can be more cost-effective than using longer-dated options. Volatility and Risk: Short-dated optio

I see the new Monday/Wednesday options mainly as short-term tactical tools, not something to trade aggressively. The extra expiries allow tighter positioning around specific catalysts like macro headlines or post-earnings moves, without overpaying for time value. I’d mostly use them in defined-risk spreads rather than straight long options. From the eligible names, I’m most interested in $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ . Both tend to show strong short-term momentum and active Gamma behavior, which fits Mon/Wed expiries well. NVDA often reacts quickly to AI-related news, while META works nicely for short-term volatility or quick Nasdaq hedges. Between the two, Wednesday expiries suit my

From my perspective, the addition of Monday and Wednesday expiries is a meaningful upgrade for active options traders. Between options and leveraged ETFs, I still prefer options for precision, especially when targeting gamma or setting defined-risk trades. Leveraged ETFs suit strong directional views, but options give better control over timing and volatility. With these new midweek expiries, I’d mainly use them for short-term trades and tactical hedging rather than holding longer. Short-dated options are effective for quick moves or adjusting exposure around headlines, though post-market risk and unexpected assignment still need close attention. On volatility, I do think short-dated options can amplify price swings in heavily traded names. NVIDIA and Tesla stand out as the most active ca

Whether you should open more 0DTE positions depends on your risk appieitey. Here’s the breakdown to help you decide. 1. The 0DTE Opportunity The primary reason to trade 0DTE on Mondays and Wednesdays is to capture hyper-accelerated time decay (Theta).  Income Frequency: Instead of waiting a month for an option to expire, you can collect premiums 252 days a year. Limited Overnight Risk: Since you enter and exit on the same day, you aren't vulnerable to "gap downs" or "gap ups" caused by news that breaks while the market is closed. Low Capital Requirement: 0DTE options are much cheaper than longer-dated ones, providing massive leverage.  The Middle Ground: Many traders in 2026 are using 0DTE-based ETFs (like $QDTE or $XDTE). These funds do the 0DTE selling for you, providing

I am enthused by this short timed options. Many times rolling seemed too far away when volatility was high, now we have better options. Especially I like TSLA being included as one week seems too long for the inherent volatility. I won’t prefer between Mon/ Wed as these are situation based uses. Expect volumes to still be higher on Fridays and these are back up options possibly with lesser liquidity

Cool! Additional days to earn from selling options!

Looking forward to $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$, NVDA, APPL, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Broadcom, Alphabet, and iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF joining Monday & Wednesday Options from 26 Jan 2026. Thanks @Tiger_comments
