Let's say the short call option expires worthless. you keep the premium. You still have the long call, if the underlying shoots up your potential gain is infinite?

Very informative .. 2 question though

You mentioned it is best to place the order when short option is high in IV while long option is low in IV. My question is since long option is placed at ATM while the short option is placed OTM, shouldn’t the long option has higher IV than short option ? Is there a ideal no of month apart between the expiry day of short and long option which will result a relatively high IV in short option and low IV in long option

Many thanks

This has become my favorite, selling premium, then hoping for earnings move

The long option remains an open position in your account even after the short position expires, correct?

What is a ITM call buy 30 DTE with a 90 DTE long call sell called? Because I'm showing a credit paid on that trade

What type of capital does one need to have to do a Short Straddle play? (EX. ENPH ($285 28OCT)) Does one receive the credit right away? Can I hold for a few minutes and then attempt to buy back position right away? (Novice here).
