I was expecting to the price to calm down (now it is a bit overbought), but today the price went up strongly, so a good way to play it is with a Bull Put. I will propose two kind of strategies (conservative and aggresive).

Conservative

Bull Put 200/190

Max Profit: $1.87 (credit)

Max. Risk: $8.13

Primary Exit (price > 200 at Nov. expiration): Options expire ITM. We keep max. credit (23% ROR)

Secondary Exit (lateral movement between 200 and 190): if price is below 200 close to expiration, adjust the position to a Collar Trade.

Secondary Exit (bearish movement): if price breaks down 190 support –> to adjust to a Collar Trade

 

Agressive

In case we want to play more contrats, we can reduce the Short Put strike in order to increase the probability of expiration OTM.

Bull Put 190/180

Max Profit: $0.96 (10.25% ROR)

S1:  if price expires at Nov over 190, we get max profit

S2: If price breaks down 190 support, to adjust to a Ratio Backspread, adding a Protective Put.
