Tired of trying to spark lively discussions in your options trading community? Would You Rather questions transform dry topics into playful debates, helping members connect and share insights. Use these templates to energize your community with fun, thought-provoking choices.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Would You Rather content works because it encourages members to think creatively about familiar topics in a low-pressure way. By presenting two intriguing scenarios, you tap into curiosity and invite people to compare strategies, preferences, and personalities. This format helps break the ice, creates space for diverse viewpoints, and gets everyone talking without requiring deep expertise. For options trading, these questions are especially effective because they let traders consider risk, reward, and decision-making in a fun context. Members can debate, learn from each other, and reveal their unique approaches to trading, all while building camaraderie and trust. The playful tone keeps engagement high and encourages even quieter members to join in.

To use these templates, simply copy and paste a question into your community platform and invite members to comment with their choice and reasoning. Rotate them regularly to keep discussions fresh. Encourage members to explain their answers, tag friends, or react to others' posts. These templates work well as icebreakers, weekly engagement posts, or conversation starters during live chats and events.
These Would You Rather templates are effective across all platforms. On forums or Slack, post as a new thread and pin for visibility. On Facebook or LinkedIn, use an image or poll format for extra engagement. In Discord or Telegram, post during peak hours and encourage emoji reactions alongside comments.
To create engaging and relevant Would You Rather posts, use scenarios traders actually face, such as 'Would you rather sell a covered call on an underperforming stock or write a cash-secured put on a volatile ticker?' This approach encourages members to discuss strategy preferences, risk tolerance, and actual trading experiences, making conversations both practical and educational.
Yes, incorporating scenarios like 'Would you rather open a straddle or an iron condor during an earnings week when IV is high?' directly taps into advanced options concepts and current market challenges, prompting thoughtful debate and deeper learning among experienced traders in your group.
Try questions such as 'Would you rather risk assignment on a deep ITM short put or roll the position for a lower premium?' This sparks discussions around assignment management, rolling strategies, and risk mitigation, which are core concerns in active options trading communities.
Absolutely! Prompts like 'Would you rather manage a high-delta, short-term position or a low-theta, long-term spread?' encourage members to consider how greeks influence their decisions, fostering peer-to-peer education and more nuanced conversations about options risk and reward.
Frame questions around accessible choices, such as 'Would you rather start with a vertical spread or a covered call?' Then, provide brief explanations or encourage experienced members to share insights. This not only builds community but also helps less experienced traders grasp key concepts without diving into jargon-heavy discussions prematurely.
Earnings season is a hot topic. Use questions like 'Would you rather hold an options position through earnings or close it the day before?' This prompts debate on event risk, volatility crush, and different pre- and post-earnings strategies, which are topics most options traders actively discuss.
