How weekly options work on FB
FB comes up regularly in our research, across 8 closed positions. We have traded it in both directions, which is only possible where both sides of the chain are liquid enough to enter and exit. Weekly contracts decay faster than monthlies, so on a name like this the entry, the exit and the stop matter more than the direction alone.
Our published FB ideas carry an entry, an exit target and a stop, and the reasoning behind the trade, so the logic is on the page rather than implied.
FB weekly options: common questions

New contracts are added regularly and expire every Friday the market is open, except the third Friday of each month, when monthly options expire. When a Friday is a market holiday, that week's options typically expire on the prior trading day.

What are the best weekly options to trade on FB?
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 FB?
Weekly options on FB 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.
