Section 1:Options, Calls
By definition, a call option gives the buyer the right to buy 100
shares of the underlying stock at the specific strike price that
they have chosen.
The price of a call option is called the premium you pay, and
this can be viewed just like a stock.
As the stock price goes up, the value of your call premium will
go from let's say 0.50 to 0.60, at which point you can sell and
collect $60 per contract or $10 per contract in profit.

As the stock price goes down, the value of your put premium
will go from let's say 0.50 to 0.60, at which point you can sell
and collect $60 per contract or $10 per contract in profit.

Section 2: Delta Options Trading
When puts are sold back to the MM they would incur -100
delta, and therefore have to buy shares, creating the lower
pivot, where they are buying shares.

Section 2: Delta Options Trading, VIX

Now, as we can see, SPY tends to obey these pivots well,
and all we need to do is make sure VIX is with us.

This is a great example of what we are looking for on VIX.

Closing Remarks/Tips
Even in the off chance the delta/pivot lets you down, you
have the luxury of being saved by VIX.
