What’s your criteria for buying these?
Stable blue chip?
How far out do you look?
A month? Three months? Longer?
What’s your desired % gain before selling?
How often do you do this?

If I'm doing ITM calls.. it's set up at a LEAP(greater than 9 months) and I'm looking for a tightened spread and an delta of at least .75.... moreless a stock replacement

hardly every blue chips for me.

desired gain before rolling the trade is usually 100 -150 %.

I am mostly a swing trader but I currently only have about 3-4 LEAPS on: SQ Rolled from $27 strikes, V have not rolled yet $90 strikes, IWM $165's Just opened last week - those are more ATM and not so DITM.

As far as ITM LEAP's or options that I've bought ITM, thats all I have on right now.

i like ATM strangles..ideally 10-15 mins before the market close before an earnings announcement.

i like to see a history of big movements...and either a lack or disconnect of guidance from current price .

medium size companies work best....ideal is a stock with much short interest.
