Sahil (Shark), Gad, and Kai presented a diverse array of options trades during tastylive's "Trades From The Research Team" segment. Sahil suggested a long call vertical spread in IWM due to its low implied volatility, and a covered call in Ethereum (ETH), noting its correlation to broader markets is only 0.26.

Gad maintained a more mechanical approach with an Oracle iron condor ($107-$125 put side, $150-$160 call side) targeting $3-ish credit, and a bullish short put on a high-IVR stock at the lower end of its expected daily move.

Kai recommended an NVIDIA (NVDA) call diagonal with favorable volatility differential (Feb 44%, Jan 42%), and a Lululemon (LULU) earnings trade ahead of its report alongside Costco and Broadcom (AVGO), targeting conservative positioning against the stock's $20 expected earnings move.
