Pre Market NOV 17, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?
The markets are kind of flat right now
$DJI ( ▼ 0.65% )  
$SPY ( ▼ 0.02% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.08% )  
$IWM ( ▲ 0.29% )  

$GOOG ( ▼ 0.77% )  $TSLA ( ▲ 0.59% )  $GE ( ▲ 0.21% )  $META ( ▼ 0.07% ) none of them are offering anything special here in the Pre ( that can always change )

$NVDA ( ▲ 1.77% ) reports this Wednesday
It’s been trading sideways for the past 4 months
That’s great for traders, not so much for investors

I did a deep dive on its Options
The I.V. rankings are off the chart until the DEC 5, 2025s, they start coming back to earth there

With I.V. so high, pricing is elevated too
Many traders just do not understand that aspect
That or they choose to ignore it

We’re in no mood to give the markets our hard earned money for free

In order to profit from this trade NVDA will need to make a BIGGG move, either direction

Remember “META” ….lol… Wall Street said “F--k The Zuck” and sank META like a rock after its one time tax announcement on the earnings call….

Here at theoptionscoach.net
We don’t chase stocks
We don’t go long if a stock is red
We buy at the MID price or better
We set STOPS and HONOR them

NVDA Strangles for DEC 5, 2025
Buy the 185 Put
Buy the 190 Call
The MID is 16.68

Its time to grind
