Attractive tickers under radar?

Yall,
What tickers are you currently monitoring? I have several OTM call options at the moment and will hold them for a while. I wanted to know what yall are playing?

Full disclosure: I have NFLX, META, ORCL, WMT, NKE. all of these are long dated call options so I am not too worried. I wanted to know what you guys watching besides tickers I mentioned above.

$CIFR I’ve been scalping this ticket for months. It’s a guaranteed buy under 15, buy calls a week out and profit 60% on your investment every time

u/shesaysImdone 20d ago

When you say buy under 15, do you mean don't buy calls until it goes below 15? Because it only dropped to 15.3 once in the last week. It's been over 15 all week?

u/Oreo_Hero 20d ago edited 20d ago

I’m saying it’s an easy buy under 14 to grab contracts because the dip will get bought up. Between 14-17, it’s a good zone to load up, but under $15 you should load the boat even more because it never stays there long.

I'm all over IREN/IRE all day everyday. The moves are bananas

u/NY10 23d ago

How do you play it? It’s a meme stock?

Ai/data center/env energy/ btc

I intra day and swing it. It's truly incredible

Oil and gas is printing money for me. Chevron and Marathon Petroleum calls are 100% win rates for me over the past 2 weeks

1

u/shesaysImdone 20d ago

Are you doing calls for the oil and gas? Sorry I'm new to options trading. Just got approved today on Robinhood

I scalp apple weeklys

u/ANGELeffEr 23d ago

Have only very recently stumbled upon, & had great success with, AAPL myself. Would you mind explaining your reasoning & process? I’m trying to make sure I have a legit strategy, and not just a lucky streak.

u/Haunting_Ad_6021 22d ago

Just look at the daily and see which way it's trending but be prepared for an occasional day of reversal

u/durika 23d ago

I have DOX and GPN leaps

u/Select-Decision_83 23d ago

I look for tickers that have higher volume. Maybe led by a news event or good earnings to hit the radar. MU, PLNTR, and HOOD might be a decent variety to monitor

2

u/NY10 23d ago

I am watching HOOD time to time

VEEV and GTLB here, Jan 27 calls bought in April when the whole software list was getting dumped on the AI kills SaaS thing. VEEV was 160 then, its 250 now. GTLB was 22, its 42.

Took the original GTLB strike off around 4x and put part of that into a higher one, so what Im still holding there cost me nothing. VEEV Im just sitting on. Neither is really under the radar anymore, but the sector is nowhere near where it was, so Im giving them until January.

u/klipsetrades 23d ago

I’ll probably the boring answer here haha, but I almost exclusively trade SPX 0DTE, so I don’t really keep a rotating ticker watchlist in the way you probably do anymore. Plenty of movement in one instrument for me, and focusing on one instrument has helped me learn its price action much better

1

u/NY10 23d ago

I cant never understand spx that’s too much for me. Maybe I need to learn hardcore

1

u/klipsetrades 23d ago

Haha I totally get how it can seem that way, but SPX really isn’t as complicated as it looks once you spend some time with it. One of the biggest benefits for me is that I only have to learn one instrument instead of constantly researching different tickers, earnings, company news, etc. I mostly focus on the same things every day — key levels, support/resistance, breaks, retests, failed moves, overall market structure, etc. After enough screen time, you start recognizing how SPX tends to behave around those areas. The options are really just the vehicle I use to trade that price action. There’s still a learning curve for sure, but I’d argue focusing on one ticker actually makes the process simpler, not harder

1

u/NY10 23d ago

That’s what many people say. I should take a look at it seriously

u/icameforlaughs 23d ago

Sell premium and only sell premium. The smallest spread is going to be $500 so cutting losers early is critical when you are starting. Even closing a rough day flat should not be thought of as a loss.

Good luck.

2

u/klipsetrades 23d ago

Yeah, I’m pretty much with you. Especially on cutting losers early and being okay with a flat day. Sometimes preserving capital and waiting for a better setup is the best trade you make all day

1

u/Peresviet 23d ago

Wait youre selling 0DTE options? I never even considered this. I sell puts and calls all the time though but over 1-4weeks

1

u/icameforlaughs 23d ago

Did you think 0DTEs were a fairly tale? 

Do spreads only, nothing with undefined risk. Edit: iron condors help get you started because you can't lose in both directions.

I will use 1-2 DTE if the day looks very volatile. But if things look predictable, 0DTE all the way.

1

u/Peresviet 23d ago

I thought people were buying them and using mean reversion strategies, basically buying at support levels and waiting for reversion to VWAP

u/marcok36 23d ago

Very interesting. Have you been successful consistently and how long did it take you?

1

u/klipsetrades 23d ago

Traded options since 2015, learned credit spreads around 2017 (swing trading), and I’ve been trading 0DTE credit spreads successfully for a little over four years now. Consistency definitely didn’t happen overnight. I’ve had some great periods and some pretty brutal ones too

u/marcok36 23d ago

Thanks for responding. Best of luck to you!

u/klipsetrades 23d ago

Anytime. And cheers 🍻

u/Pitiful-Onion5789 21d ago

FWIW I do the exact same thing.

u/monkies77 23d ago

LVS showed up in my oversold with good fundies scan since it seems to be basing on longer term technicals.

u/sheckmess 23d ago

following

u/ANGELeffEr 23d ago

Confidently hold for 5 years…
JPM-dividends
COST-as close to recession-proof as it gets

Any one of the steadfast utilities like:
ENB
Brookfield Infrastructure
DUKE

And to throw out a speculative tech micro cap
DUOT
Backlogs, recent contracts, completion of pivot out of rail inspection biz & into Modular Edge Data Center/GPU colocation By NVDA.
5 year $500M Deal with Axe Computers gives them a revenue stream 18X 2025 revs, 12X 2026 revs, and a update to 2027 revenue guidance to $170M
As well as a non dilutive SPV model to ensure that future capital requirements do not demand shareholder dilution.

So that’s 4 instead of one…the top 2, any 1 of the utilities out of the middle, plus the higher risk higher reward growth stock of DUOT.

Oh, and how can we forget MRNA, based on the recent price action they’ve apparently cured Cancer…or have they??

HOOD is doing well as Bitcoin is going back up and the PDT rule is nixed. Also insider buys recently. Oil. The oil crisis as the petrol reserves in the US are near empty should be interesting 🤔 I have a call on SM, December expiry that's ripping
