All well and good for selling premium, but I'm more interested in buying strangles at 20 delta for insurance purposes. Hold long /ES position with SPY protective puts hedged with long calls. Buy them 90 dte and roll every few weeks to keep theta decay at bay. Move untested side back to 20 delta regularly. Add /MES position(s) with additional strangle insurance on pullbacks and sell accordingly on upside move. One /ES contract would be insured with 5 strangles, two /MES contracts with 1 strangle.

Buying mini-LEAPS calls during bull markets when RSI is low and selling when RSI is high on strong technical underlying stocks or leveraged ETF is a very Tasty strategy

One of my favorite videos from your team talks about how calendars perform well in low IVR (They outperformed debit spreads / positions). I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned here. Do you no longer agree with calendars in low IVR?

So why not buy Apple 20 DTE options and let them run to expiration? Looks like it would be a huge winner over time?

Low volatility means butterfly to me. You want to find something that doesn't move much in that case.
