I keep getting assigned MARA!

Selling puts carries less risk than just buying stocks because you are receiving premium to offset the risk.

IKR?

It's not a stop. Long stock + put = synthetic call. That's a stop. There is no "stoptionality" embedded in a short single, Bro.

And yes, I just made up "stoptionality".

I corrected my post to call it a dynamic stop. :)

Wait how does long stock, long put mimic a call option? If price goes down put goes up...but the call goes down.

You forgot the t.

Anyway, a stop denotes inhibition of risk. Like a suicide inhibitor in biochem. It doesn't reduce activity; it stops it, mole for mole, until it is exhausted in the system.

Long stock + put = synthetic call. Same risk.
 
Are you getting assigned early and at what delta are your puts when you got assigned?

Maybe I should get into the MARA trade. I can't hardly ever get early assigned in the tickers I am trading.

I use $ more than delta...$0.80 minimum is the (Weekly) strike I pick. No early assignment, just @ expiry. It is usually around .40 to .55 delta. I always take the shares.

No, lol the "t" in StopTionality.

But yes, you need to understand synthetics. W/o synthetics you're driving blind.
 
The difference between a call and a put is shares. There are spread and combo synthetics as well as the singles.

Shares + put = call
short shares + call = put
