The bid–ask spread is not a fee you pay once. It is a hurdle the underlying has to clear before you make a cent — and on cheap options that hurdle is enormous. Enter a real quote and see what it actually costs, in the only unit that matters: how far price must move for you to break even.
Assumes you cross the spread both ways — buy at ask, sell at bid — which is what happens when you use market orders or need out in a hurry. Resting a limit at the mid can capture some of this back, but only if you get filled, and the trades you most need to exit are the ones that will not fill at the mid. Break-even move uses a linear delta approximation and ignores commissions, gamma, and any move in implied volatility.
