For the November 21, 2025 expiry (the 3rd Friday of November), the results below reflect a rules-based screening snapshot on US-listed optionable stocks. Candidates were ranked primarily by November seasonality win rate (when available), then cross-checked using ROO %, Δ (delta), options liquidity (OI), Scouter Score, and sentiment. This is a screen, not a prediction.

What the Metrics Mean

ROO % (Return on Option): premium yield for this expiry window (not annualized).
Δ (Delta): proxy for assignment odds and price sensitivity (−1 to +1).
OI (Open Interest): contracts at the chosen strike — higher usually means better liquidity and tighter spreads.
Scouter Score (1–10): composite rank blending fundamentals, technicals, liquidity, and stability.
News Sentiment (−1 to +1): recent media tone around the stock.
Seasonality: November win rate and average return to the same 3rd-Friday expiry (historical).

Historical performance does not guarantee future results. Metrics may be delayed or incomplete. Always verify prices and contract details with your broker.

How to Use This Snapshot (Practical Checklist)

Refresh first: confirm today’s price, spreads, and the exact strike/expiry in your broker.
Pick a delta range: ~0.20–0.35 (more room/less assignment risk) vs 0.40–0.55 (more premium/more assignment risk).
Liquidity matters: prefer higher OI and tighter spreads—especially if you plan to roll.
Event risk: check earnings, guidance, and major regulatory/catalyst dates before entering.
Plan exits: decide whether you’ll close early, roll, or accept assignment.

FAQ

Is this a recommendation or signal?
No. This page presents a rules-based screening snapshot for educational purposes. It is not a recommendation, alert, or personalized trading signal.

How were these ideas selected?
We ranked candidates by November win rate to the same 3rd-Friday expiry (when available), then cross-checked ROO %, Δ, OI, Scouter Score, sentiment, and strike suitability for the Nov 21, 2025 contract.

What does Δ (delta) add here?
Delta helps approximate assignment odds and price sensitivity. Lower Δ usually reduces assignment risk but also premium; higher Δ increases both.
