    I don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis. Stocks have stayed aloft as signs of cooler inflation I believe the Fed is finally done with raising rates, that means “Santa has come early” to the markets. What are the best additions to a $500K portfolio to boost performance?

    After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?

    I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45

    Thanks for the video, Tony. I used to do such trades on AMZN, NFLX, FB etc. Sell ATM Put and buy OTM next strike put. The two mistakes I did were choosing current week as expiry and not closing with 50% profit. I did make some money but lost all. Now, I don't trade credit spreads. May be follow your guidelines/rules and try again. Also, an important factor is that we need to have enough money in the account to cover the margin (risk) requirement.

    That's an insightful strategy that you have covered there! The same strategy that I have covered in detail utilizes a short strike of 0.25 to 0.2 delta instead, for a higher probability of winning. Also my DTE and exit strategies are different. Glad you have covered some aspects of the exit strategy as well (exit strategies are often ignored by most...).
    I will be testing these variances (in DTE - entry & exit, strikes, etc), hope to find and deliver the results one day =)

      His overall look and approach is built more for large accounts, for smaller accounts you will tend to really want to stick to like you said around .25 to .20 delta and you would seek to collect less then 33% of width because the focus is growth and collecting profits equal growth even if its small just do it more often and it adds up.

    One thing though. I don't follow US or any stocks, so am limited to crypto, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum.
    Since these two coins are the only two with significant volume to justify trading with options, in what way could I potentially set up a 'portfolio' of different trades.
    I see these are 45 days, so I'd take two trades, one of each BTC & ETH, but what else can I add?
    Should I be considering covered calls/puts also?

      You shouldn't be collecting anywhere near 50% of the width on a credit spread. If you are, then you're selling ITM options which isn't a great idea, because ITM options have very little extrinsic value. You turn it into a potentially long theta trade, not short theta.

      @@OptionsPlay Thanks for the great content!! I was looking at your last friday's "Credit Spread Trades" spreadsheet, it showed EFA(I think) was greater than 50% credit. I guess it was just the wide bid/ask spreads and the short strike price being very close to the market price that made it appear larger than a 50% credit. So the moral of the story is, if you can get filled (probably, but unlikely on wide bid/ask spread) that is OTM with a credit of greater than 50% of the width, you have commited to a great theoretical trade? would you ride that trade out to expiry or cash it out sooner?

    Great video. I’ve set OCO’s on my CS before. My issue with this has been when one of the legs jumps for a quick millisecond (the stock doesn’t move) and triggers the stop loss. I see the sale that is a loss, yet the stock hasn’t moved anywhere near break even or the short strike. I’ve asked TDA and their comment is that they can’t control when one leg jumps for a second and triggers my stop loss. Several people I’ve talked to say they don’t place mechanical stops for that specific reason. Instead they place alerts for when the stock reaches a certain point, say B/E, and then they look to manage the trade manually. What’s your thought?

      that's not to say you shouldn't have a profit target or a time stop or even a stop loss in mind that will trigger you to exit the trade, i just don't think it necessary to set automatic mechanical stops for CS.

If the spread’s income reaches your desired level, say 50%, then it closes with a profit. If it reaches your desired stop loss level (1x, 2x, 3x?) then it automatically closes. I would do this myself more often if I it weren’t for the market maker spikes that hit for a brief second to trigger all the stop losses and then return to the going price. That sucks.

    Right off the bat, there are errors in the Bullish Trade on IBB slide. The Net Credit is $215, not $2.25. The Spread collects 35%, not 37.5%, of the Vertical Width. The Max Reward is $215, not $2.25. The Max Risk is $385, not $3.75. Profit occurs when IBB is at 139.85 and above, not at 139.75 and above.

    Hi, what are your thoughts on selling deep OTM credit spreads, weekly, and exiting losing trades at 200% of the max gain? That would allow for only needing to be right 66% of the time to break even, and give some leeway for fluctuations when the stock price moves against you but still hasn't reached ATM value.

      Hard to justify this approach in my opinion. If you go too far OTM, you will not be able to collect enough credit. Sure you may profit on these trades for a long time, but once the stock moves in a big way against you, then you may lose all your profits up to that point.

    Thanks Tony for this interesting video. Why not make a credit Iron Condor? Wouldn't the iron condor balance the risk on both sides (if it goes up or down) and therefore require less margin ?

    • @scottreesetradinginvesting7936
      @scottreesetradinginvesting7936 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you collect more credit on an iron condor, then the required collateral will be less. However, in my opinion, you should collect about the same amount of credit on an iron condor as you would on a single credit spread by itself. Therefore, the collateral on the iron condor will be identical to a single credit spread in this case.

    Thanks for the video. However, I'm confused why it's necessary to exit with a loss of 100% of the max gain? In the video example, for the $10 wide credit spread for $4 profit, isn't the max loss 10-4 = 6? Why don't we wait till the expiration to take the loss of $6, which is smaller than $8?

    • @enjoibrian

    • @scottreesetradinginvesting7936
      @scottreesetradinginvesting7936 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For iron condors, you will want to collect the same credit as you would collect on a single credit spread. So because an iron condor involves two credit spreads, you should pick your strikes even further away. That way, the combined credit between the call credit spread and put credit spread should be about equal to the credit you would collect when selling a single spread by itself...and you will also have roughly the same probability of profit for the iron condor too.

      The problem: I could be assigned on both sides!
      So I would need to buy a married call and a married put if I would stay on trade after the expiration of long legs.

    Not sure whether anyone has mentioned this but with your exit rules you essentially bring the risk reward back down to 2:1 which means that you would still have to win 67% of the time to break even. So it wouldn't matter whether your initial premium is 33% or 40% the spread width. The difference is win $2 or lose $4 vs. Win $1.67 or lose $3.33. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Why brag about the 40% and how much difference that makes compared to 33%, then recommend wiping the advantage out while quietly avoiding pointing out how that contradicts one of your previously mentioned benefits? The answer to that question isn't going to be positive. Also, since when is a risk reward ratio of risking twice as much as you have to gain a wise trading objective? That's news to me. What does the APR end up being on this stragtegy.

      Because there is this thing called "gamma risk" which starts to become a problem within 21 days to expiration. It basically means the prices of your options will begin to become a lot more sensitive to changes in the stock price. So as a result, you'll see greater volatility in your account.

    Your 1:15 risk ratio seems misleading. Also, Tony, I would never trade short .50 delta on 45 DTE. Last, 21 days to expiration closure completely shuts down theta which is the main driver of profiting on credit spreads. I do not understand why you would want to do that. Theta accelerates faster the closer to the expiration. I know, gamma goes against it but most money I have made so far is letting options value decay as long as I can.
