    Getting back into this (for about the 5th time now) and really trying to understand the fundamentals. It's really great to have these "evergreen" videos to come back to to refresh my memory and level set my learning. And the best part is being able to take advantage of videos across multiple years. I just hopped to this one (2013) after watching one of Mike's whiteboard videos (2016) about managing small accounts and I FINALLY understand the 1 SD methodology. It only took me 10 years! (Yes, I've been following for that long, maybe longer). I'm slow, but I get it eventually!

    Selling puts worked well for me. I have a margin account. So I sell naked SPY put at 97 to 99% rate. It's far out otm strike with really high winning rate and low premium. SPY options expires on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Monday. I sell put option expire on Wednesday for around 10 to 15 dollars. And buy back at 0.01 which is 1 dollar premium. Once I close the Wednesday put option, I immediately sell another put for Friday, collect another 10 to 15 dollar at 97 to 99% winning rate. So it's 30 to 45 per week with about 10k in my account. Annual return is more than 15% with 97% winning rate.

      There is no way you have 10k in your account. In order to collect 10 to 15 dollars, you need to go to about 284-286 strike price. Even if you choose standard expiration date, still the farthest you'd go to collect the money you're talking about is a 250 strike. You need to have at least 25k in your account to sell one contract. How do you sell SPY puts with 10k in your account?

    This came into my feed at just the right time. With my small account that I am trying to grow without losing any money I have been looking at percentages and rates of return. Although ATM is tempting with the return, clearly a bigger POP is better with a small account. But how big? My research showed that the 70% to 80% POP gave me the return I needed to grow the account and the safety of not losing many trades.

      @Gude Balm and @Lawrence Hiun, thanks for highlighting this.
      @Paul Gregory and others, this is because naked writing has limited upside (the differential in premuim that you net) but an unbounded downside (if underlying ends ITM and the contract buyer exercises his right to buy/sell at a discount to the strike price, which you are obligated to honor).
      With odds in favor of upside, we tend to miss that even a lesser probable contrary movement will have a disproportionately bigger impact, wiping off much of the benefits of the earlier successes or could even get you into a negative territory.

      @@hunnusunnu6896 The direction doesn't matter. Having high vol simply means that expected range of the stock has increased, in either an up or down direction. I do look at the trend of the stock. If the trend is higher, I'm more likely to sell a put spread. If lower, then a call spread. If the IV is high with no real trend at all, I'll look to sell an Iron Condor and adjust my untested side if I have to. Most stocks options are high implied vol if they are over a specific event, like earnings of the stock, or an expected Fed announcement, for example. Sometimes they are not. I'm currently playing GOOGL and AMZN Dec options with really wide Iron Condors because both have an IV% over 50. Both have earnings in Jan, so a nice set-up with no real "known" market moves from now until expiration.

    So the takeaway is that ATM put credits have lower BP but allows higher volatility in the portfolio. OTM has lower variance in return for higher BP reduction. If the market during these types of trades follows a gaussian process, they will eventually cancel out after many or diversified trades. I think these type of choices really depends on the account holder. For someone with a small account should follow ATM sell puts to increase the number of occurrences for profit (taking advantage of uptrends) and to manage trades faster. Doing an OTM has a high probability, however, the issue is that one position OTM has a bigger downside risk, which would wipe a small account if it were to be an outlier. I would take advantage of the ATM credit puts because of the fact that BP is smaller and the individual can diversify more positions onto other strategies also taking advantage of the market trends upwards.

      @freddybenelli9100 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It really depends what the stock actually ends up doing, which we can't know ahead of time. If, hypothetically, you knew that AAPL would move upward $30 in a straight line over the next 2 months, buying calls to leverage your directional exposure would be the best strategy to take advantage of this. Selling OTM or ATM puts is also directionally bullish, but you would be leaving gains on the table if the stock pressed higher quickly.
      There's an inverse relationship between probability that a trade will succeed and the maximum profit level. Selling options has a much higher success rate, but your potential profit is limited to the price of the option sold, whereas going long shares has a lower probability of profit, but you can capture the full price move. Shares really only give you directional exposure, whereas option strategies can be profitable in the absence of a strong directional move.

After reviewing apple’s financial records, I would be very happy to hold apple long term. The ROIC is crazy high. If you have an opportunity to buy an excellent company at a very low price then you’re probably better off long term to just buy the stock and continuously reinvest the dividends if you have done your research and looked at the financial data. I love puts but they are just a tool. You can’t use a hammer when you need a wrench. You have to use the right tool for the job. Just my thoughts/2 cents.

      I do this and it’s been working for years. Open 100 iron condors on SPY $10 OTM in both directions day before expiration and let them expire worthless. If it gets within a dollar of my short strikes I’ll sell and lose very little or break totally even. Sure I put up at least 10k twice a week but for every $100 in collateral I put up it’s anywhere from 20-31$ profit per spread. So a 20-35% ROI twice a week. Most times I’ll open these up I’ll start out down 2k but by the next day I’m up again

    • @vinnyvidivici5930

      But I would be so worried about assignment if it landed between my strikes. If that happens you’re screwed aren’t you?
      Because buying 100 calls/puts on SPY is a TON of money. How do you account for this massive risk? Thx

    • @Jeramithehuman
      @Jeramithehuman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Vinny vidi vici no you only lose the difference between strikes so if SPY is at $313 like right now and you make a iron condor for 306-319 expiring tomorrow you get the $15 profit per 100$ you put in collateral. If you get assigned and it lands in between 306 and 305 you only lose the collateral but keep the credit. If it gets to $1 to my short strikes I’ll sell but usually it’ll happen on day of expiration so time decay will make it so you break even or only lose a little then you get your collateral back. It’s really a good way to make small gains with little risk. I’ll only do this with a 90% chance of profit or above

    • @vinnyvidivici5930
      @vinnyvidivici5930 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Jeramithehuman thx for the reply. i was under the impression that if you sold an IC or credit spread, and the price expired in between your strikes, then you are going to be assigned. for instance, if you sold the $310 put and bought the $305 put, and SPY expired at $307, then you would have to buy SPY at $307. you're telling me that this isn't the case? i'm not slow i promise haha, but i don't understand how you wouldn't be assigned shares? thx again

    • @Jeramithehuman
      @Jeramithehuman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Vinny vidi vici in that exact example you would get whatever the credit is you can get filled at so for this example let’s say you got $300 credit for this. Your short put sell would be $310 strike and buy the $305 strike. You have to put up the collateral of $500. It’s the dollar difference between strikes times 100. So in your example you would lose $200. The collateral is your max loss no matter what because what happens is you would then exercise your right to buy those shares at the strike taking a 200$ loss total. This is the exact reason you can’t sell a naked put without also buying one with a lower strike unless you have enough to cover assignment. Some brokerages will let you do this but not robinhood. If the contract expires a penny above $310 you keep the credit then get your collateral back usually around 12am-2am same day of expiration. Always remember you can get out of the trade if you see it going down and get scared. Happened to me last week I got my 5K back was supposed to make $1200 but didn’t want to lose my $3800 so I sold at the credit I received and didn’t make anything. All I had to do was give the $1200 back then I immediately got my 5k collateral back. I’ll only do this if it gets a dollar of where my short strikes are at. It’s extremely profitable and easily the safest way to trade. Anytime you trade look at your personal risk tolerance always look at max loss first then probably of success then profit last. When I make these iron condors instead of a call or put credit spread you can pick up a couple extra bucks because the stick can’t close at 2 strikes in the same day. My strategy is on Tuesday around 3-3:30 I’ll make an iron condor 8-10$ away from where it’s currently at in both directions. Sure I’m not making crazy 1500% lottery ticket type gains but usually I’ll take 600-1500$ twice a week. Don’t be scared just set up one far out of where it’s at on Tuesday expiring Wednesday then Thursday expiring Friday. The credit isn’t crazy big but the risk is really low. It will always look like this my contract will get filled and right away it will say down 50-250$ don’t be afraid time is on your side doing this it’ll close the day at 4pm when you wake up and 9:30 rolls around if it’s exactly where it closed the day before saying you were down $100 it will now say you’re plus $100 because of time decay. The longer the day goes the more and more you will make. If it’s more than $2 away from my short strikes I’ll let it expire worthless and keep all the credit then get back the collateral. I live off of these spreads rarely I will buy a naked call and hope it goes up unless I’m long on the stock or running the wheel strategy but only if I’m long on a super solid bulletproof company. Hopefully this helps I’m more than happy to help man I remember being you starting out everything seems so confusing but people on here have helped me get where I’m at trading and have answered any questions I can’t thank them enough.

      Because you can lose money if the underlying goes below your strike price. For example if your premium is $1 @ $500 strike price and the underlying down to $498 your P/L would be -1.
      You paid $500 for a $498 stock that means you lost $2 BUT you still get your $1 premium. So $-2 + $1= $-1P/L

    Explain this so look at american airlines current pp is 12.81 now look under the sell put option for 7 days out the maximum strike price you can get is $40 under sell/put. The premium alone for just 1 contract at $40 is over $2,700 and obviously the current price will not travel that far in 1 week so there is very little risk and such a high reward it confuses me why people always pick a strike price so close to the current price. Yes the price could blow up and get that high but if it does it would be such strong momentum you wouldn't have to worry about anything because it would keep going up after you bought it. Plus this trade would only require $4000 in capital in your account. I would never do this with this stock but in general how is this a bad idea seems like they are just giving away premium to me.

      In such a case, do not short the Put; hold till expiry and net the gains: ( ( (asset value at expiry less the strike price) less the premium) times the lot size).

      I don't know how to manually calculate standard deviations for options, but if you don't have access to a broker that shows you, it seems that looking for options with a .3 delta is a good rule of thumb.

    The key to me is the amount of capital to put up. 20% is some risk to take assuming a smaller account size. What is done to manage puts tested close to assignment?

      We typically roll them out in time - that adds extrinsic value to the option, and reduces assignment risk.

    Can someone explain it to me. If the PL is bigger for the ATM put. Why not just sell ATM puts instead of 30 delta puts?

    • @tastyliveshow
      @tastyliveshow  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question!
      Really the answer is risk tolerance & goal of the trade - if the goal is to take the shares at a low cost basis, the 30 delta put will achieve this in a more efficient way than the ATM, even though the ATM can have a higher P/L over time.
      BPR could also be higher ATM than further OTM, so that could be a consideration too.
      Totally up to you though!

      In this case, you will keep the all the premium. The market stock price is higher than strike price so that the option will expire worthless. Please be careful when you sell put options. Please make sure you have enough cash to cover your self at the strike price if you are obligated to buy it. I always pick good companies like Bank of America and calculate the intrinsic value. If the stock is undervalued, I write put options. It is a good way to make a profit.

      Options are not traded on margin - you get margin relief by way of a smaller buying power reduction than cash secured, but you need to have the cash available to trade options up front.

      Okay, that helps, but it still doesn’t tell me the annual profit % or the amount risked. It tells me where the most winners were vs where the highest profit was. So ATM is 3x more profitable, but if the 1sd profit was 4%, let’s say, then the better strategy is still only paying 12% annually.
      My math is 54 trades, $5900 profit= $109 per trade profit across all trades (wins+losses). So if you put up $1600 per trade, that’s under 7% return on risk. I think there’s better ways to make money in a bull market, and definitely in a bear market. What am I missing?

      @@brucea550 Yeah I know its hard for them to post all the info everyone might want in a vid, and since most everyones situation is different, such as cash account, margin, portfolio margin, amount of funds, then what is the actual amount of risk vs potential reward being used, is hard for them to put in numbers w/o lots of constraints. They did show SPY so again a general market index to provide the data over that 2009-2012 time range. Using TOS or other you could easily simulate putting on one contract for a 45day monthly and find out for you what capital was required for ATM and 1SD and figure out something very close to the percentages numbers you're looking for I think. As you said there's always other methods to try and make gains, but its nice to see all the data they provide for free, which no one else does, so people can see if you do trade puts how being very aggressive ATM vs 1SD compares w/ no management for wins losses profit and variance of profit and how all that gives you more informed choices on how you might put on the risk you can handle and hopefully still sleep ok at night lol .
