Most people watch share price and think that is what moves their options contract.

It is one of six things:
1. Share price.
2. Implied volatility.
3. Market sentiment.
4. Duration.
5. Strike.
6. Contract demand.
The edge is understanding all 6 and using them together.

That means put premium gets fat.
That is your signal to sell them on great companies with 1+ year durations.
