How weekly options work on DG

Our published DG ideas carry entry parameters, exit guidelines and a stop, and the reasoning behind the trade, so the logic is on the page rather than implied.

What is Weekly Options USA's track record on DG?
We have published 3 closed DG weekly options trade ideas, listed below with the contract, the entry and the exit. That is too small a sample to quote a win rate from. Every trade we publish, on any stock, is on our public track record. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
What are the best weekly options to trade on DG?
There is no single best contract. The right choice depends on your position size, timeframe and risk tolerance.
Experienced traders start with liquidity, looking at the daily volume and open interest of the specific option contract, not the stock itself. A lightly traded strike can be difficult to exit at a fair price, even if the trade idea is right.
Next comes the bid-ask spread. A wide spread adds cost both when entering and exiting the position.
Then there is time to expiry. Time decay becomes increasingly important as a weekly option approaches expiration, particularly in the final days.
Finally, there needs to be a reason for the stock to move within that timeframe. Earnings, a product announcement or a significant technical level may provide a catalyst. Without one, the option can lose time value while the stock goes nowhere.
How do I trade weekly options on DG?
Weekly options on DG are traded through any US options brokerage, in the same account you would use for shares. Most brokers ask you to apply for options approval first. This is general information, not personal advice; you make your own decisions.
