This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


  • Onconova Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:ONTX) has announced preliminary data from Phase 1/2a trial of rigosertib plus Bristol-Myers Squibb Co's (NYSE:BMY) Opdivo (nivolumab) in advanced KRAS mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
