Underlying: NVDA @ ~$209.74 | 2026-08-21 (29 DTE) | Net debit (entry): ~$125 per spread. Use limit orders at the mid or slightly worse.

MAX LOSS: Limited to the net debit ($125 per spread). Max gain is capped at the strike width minus the debit — a defined-risk, defined-reward trade. | IV RISK: IV rank is 37 — reasonable for a debit spread. | TIMING: 29 DTE — unusual flow is a near-term signal; act promptly or the setup may stale. Close or take profit before expiration week to avoid gamma risk. | SECTOR: NVDA is in Technology — avoid concentration with other open Technology positions. | EXECUTION: Use limit orders at mid or slightly worse on the spread (don't leg in). Verify the bid-ask before sending; do not chase with market orders. | EVENTS: Check for upcoming earnings, FDA decisions, or macro prints within the trade window that could cause outsized gap risk.
