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.


  • The FDA has approved ChemoCentryx Inc's (NASDAQ:CCXI) Tavneos (avacopan) as an adjunctive treatment for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (ANCA-associated vasculitis or ANCA vasculitis).

  • The approval comes for avacopan in combination with standard therapy. Avacopan is an orally administered selective complement 5a receptor inhibitor.
  • ANCA vasculitis is a systemic autoimmune disease in which over-activation of the complement system further activates neutrophils, leading to inflammation and eventual destruction of small blood vessels.
  • Avacopan is also approved for microscopic polyangiitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (the two main forms of ANCA-associated vasculitis) in Japan
  • The regulatory decision in Europe is expected by the end of 2021.
