Pull the stock, then pick a contract by DTE and strike. 90–150d is preferred for holds; scalp 0DTE or a few days anytime. Cboe delayed — verify in Thinkorswim.

90d+ preferred window. Not a hard rule.

Enter a ticker and hit Chain. Hold starts in the 90–150 window; tap Scalp for 0DTE or a few days out.

Calls: technical stock below price, resistance above. % of P is option change vs premium. Fixed stop is inside the technical level — the 18/20% option stop hits first on a pure delta move.

Delta path

Linear Δ approximation of option value vs stock. Marks: entry, 18% stock stop, technical, target.

Method

Absolute-delta approximation. Time decay ignored. Verify quotes and Greeks in Thinkorswim before sending.

Calls
OptionStop = P×(1−r)
StockStop = S − (P×r / Δ)
Technical = P + (TechStop−S)×Δ
Target = P + (Resist−S)×Δ
Puts
OptionStop = P×(1−r)
StockStop = S + (P×r / Δ)
Technical = P − (TechStop−S)×Δ
Target = P + |Support−S|×Δ
