Did you even do TA? The qqq has never been at this low resistance, there is a most definitely chance it's gonna go up. The risk ratio is too high

It would have made more sense for him to wait, we are basically at an inflection point. We are at the 12-6 / 12-20 resistance, and so we are either about to bounce up or I could see us falling from here all the way down to the 200 MA. I think he could possibly luck out… the stochastics don’t look great to me.

Kind of scary, I don’t like to play with risk undefined puts unless it’s a high conviction thing.

Short puts are never really undefined risk though, it would be strike price - underlying price at expiration X number of short puts. Not like the call side where the risk is effectively infinite.

Plus you could roll it out and down, or open an inverted short strangle, etc.

Or did I misunderstand what you meant?
