I'm full of stupid. Be forewarned...
Question: why the heck is one of these stocks (actually a few) outperforming others when it comes to daytrading them? Let's assume you were mostly trading precisely at ever major peak (selling calls/buying puts) and valley (selling puts/buying calls.)
For example:
Just wondering if anyone on here knows the answer to this thing which has been keeping me up at night. I'm leaning towards ADR more than anything else so far.

For example:
- MRNA or COP options: Volume and IV's are mostly the same. They're both trading pretty well. Nice peaks and valleys, not too much whiplash. Trading about $2,500 in both calls and puts, not so concerned about expirations preferably deeper ITM. I trade these, I simply have better returns.
- XOM options: Mostly lines up with the stats above. The only difference I can readily see is that perhaps the ADR (daily price range) tends to swing less (generally more consolidated) perhaps? I make a fraction of what I can on the two listed above, but I'm employing the same exact methods.
