Thank you very much. Just for clarity, how do people make money off of OTM options by just being right about price movement? Is this only possible with long calls or high I.V.?

If dollar tree had moved to $102.15+, your options would be ITM and be more valuable.  That's just how it works. 
  
 To make money on option plays and are buying options expiring very soon you need to be a) correct about the direction and b) pretty damn close to *at least* how far it would go.
