Max pain usually refers to a trading concept that asserts that market manipulation can cause the market price of particular securities such as Beyond Meat close to expiration to expire worthless. According to most research, approximately 10% to 15% of all stock options are exercised, while about 35% expire worthlessly, with roughly 50% traded out before the expiration date.

While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Beyond Meat are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option.
