Pre Market NOV 21, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?
The markets are trying to make something of a recovery here
$DJI ( ▲ 1.08% )  
$SPY ( ▲ 1.0% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.75% )  
$IWM ( ▲ 2.83% )  

The nation of Japan has as a serious problem right now, and no we’re not talking about its 9.5 Trillion in debt
Bears, villages are being inundated, and people are being attacked, by bears
And not the stock selling kind
The mountains are unthawing as the earth continues to heat up
Their food sources are dying off or relocating
People are moving out of the country areas to the bigger cities, so more open land
Hunting in Japan is like every where else, young people don’t want to learn it, they want electronic games inside
Bear spray sales are hot, and bells, they carry bells to make noise so not to startle them
So now the govt has had to mobilize the military, the police, and old guys that hunt, to go out and take care of the bears

The reasons why and how it got to this point are out of the citizens control
All they can do now is react

How and why yesterdays selloff happened is out of our control
None of us, none of us, will ever be able to control the stock market
All we can do is plan our trades, then trade our plans
The stock market does what it does, and how we react to survive and thrive is up to us

Were going back to our Strangle strategy here
Honestly I’d rather be doing other strategies but that’s nothing I can control

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


~~~THIS IS IMPORTANT~~~~
SPXL is the TRIPPLE LEVEAGED for SPY
Meaning that OPTIONS are ALREDAY BUILT INTO THE UNDERLYING
OPTIONS, EVEN THOSE IN LEVERGED PRODUCTS, DO EXPIRE
So it moves FASTER AND FARTHER
~~~~I WOULD NOT JUST BUY LONG STOCK ONLY ON THIS DUE TO ITS TRIPLE LEVERAGED RISK~~~~
The entire reason we are doing Strangles is to alleviate risk
With Strangles we want movement, the bigger the better, either direction, price staying flat is not good for them

$SPXL ( ▲ 2.93% ) Strangles for DEC 19, 2025
Buy the 195 Put
Buy the 200 Call
The MID is 6.08
Current price is $197.55

Today is OPEX, be mindful of that if you have any options that expire today

Its time to grind
