The Core Strategy Explained:
This strategy involves selling options before high-impact news when implied volatility is high. You collect upfront premium and profit if markets stay within a range post-event. Daily charts help identify stable price zones to set strike prices. It works because premiums tend to drop fast after events (volatility crush), rewarding sellers. (2/5)

Your Trading Quick Win Guide:
1. Wait for implied volatility to spike before major events like CPI reports or Fed meetings.
2. Sell out-of-the-money call or put options in futures contracts. Choose strikes outside the market’s recent daily range.
3. Pick expiration dates 1-3 days after the event to capture the volatility drop.
4. Use limit orders to sell options. Never chase prices.
5. Risk no more than 1% of your capital per trade. (3/5)

Risk Management Notes:
Markets can gap beyond your strikes if news surprises everyone. Limit risk by keeping positions small. Consider exiting if prices break key support/resistance levels. Stick to one contract until you’re comfortable.

Concluding Thought:
This approach turns event-driven chaos into controlled income—practice in simulators first to build confidence. (4/5)
