When you make new purchases, be prepared with an exit plan. Think about taking some profits early to secure gains. I've been talking to a financial analyst regularly since COVID. Popular stock investing is easier now; the challenge is knowing when to buy and sell. My advisor handles investment and exit choices for me, and my account has grown to over $500K in less than a year.

@danielstuckwisch934311 ай бұрын
The delta you choose largely depends on the strategy. For a cash secured put you should be selling it on a stock you are willing to own long term. So a higher delta like 0.3 gives you more premium if the 0.3 strike price is still a.price you'd like to own at. Don't forget you can turn around and sell covered calls on a stock if your cash secured put gets assigned. So your cash secured put expiring in the money isn't a huge deal if it's a good stock. You DON'T want a credit spread to expire in the money at all. You just lose money and don't own anything. So spreads should be done on much lower deltas like
@Christiankota10 ай бұрын
context of derivatives trading, particularly when one is engaged in the systematic writing of put options, the concept of 'Delta' assumes critical importance. Delta, denoted as a Greek letter and often considered the first derivative of the option pricing model, measures the rate of change of the option premium with respect to infinitesimal movements in the underlying asset. In advanced portfolio management, you may want to target a specific Delta, which correlates directly to the option's moneyness and indirectly to its probability of expiring in-the-money. A Delta of approximately 0.30 is commonly employed by traders to balance the risk-return paradigm-capturing sufficient option premium while mitigating the statistical likelihood of assignment. This is generally aligned with a moderately bullish or neutral market outlook and serves as a de facto income-generation strategy, colloquially known as 'being the house.' Should you possess a more conservative risk profile, a put option with a Delta around 0.20 may be more apropos, minimizing assignment risk albeit with a concomitant reduction in the option premium. Alternatively, a Delta closer to 0.50 or above would suggest a more aggressive stance, capturing higher premiums at the expense of increased risk exposure. As Delta is inherently dynamic in nature-subject to alterations due to Gamma, another second-order Greek-it necessitates ongoing surveillance and potential rebalancing to align with your evolving investment thesis and risk tolerance. Consequently, sophisticated risk management protocols should be stringently observed.

I have been writing puts below support on stuff I’d like to own for 15 years now. Normally NTM too, and if I can, dividend paying ones. If they go ITM I get them at a price I wanted, then I write calls on the assigned stock. Normally 30 delta but depends how I feel. Rinse and repeat. Only in the last few years I see people now calling this the “Wheel” strategy. Keep some cash in case of a shock tank and you need to buy more to bring the average price down of the underlying (else the cost basis call could end up too far OTM for any decent premium) Stick to billion dollar household names, steer clear of memes, and you’ll be fine. Capital intensive though (unless you go down the PMCC route but you have to know what you’re doing in terms of IV and the higher delta long call). All good fun, and you can do this stuff whilst in your day job.

One of my favorite strategies is to sell cash-secured puts on stocks with a high dividend with an expiration prior to the ex-dividend date. If I don't get assigned, (forced to buy the shares) then I buy them outright and sell a covered call for a strike price that would pay more than the dividend return if it's assigned. Once the ex-dividend date has passed, I continue to sell call options at the lowest strike price that is more than what I paid for the stock until I get assigned, at which time I look for another stock with a high dividend to sell puts against. Selling the call at a strike price closest to the cost of the stock gives the best price for the call option It's basically a wheel strategy using dividends to increase returns.
@sethfreudberg475011 ай бұрын

But the problem with covered-calls in PERPETUITY is that when the market goes down strong (and it goes anytime) you hold a stock with a median price above the market and keeping the strategy of sell calls options with strikes above your own stock price means very low premiums to almost none. That's why for PERPETUITY i prefer to sell ATM puts overtime and never in one lump sun.

does smb count verticals as one trade or two for its 100 trades over 60 days?
@Christiankota10 ай бұрын
SMB Capital, a proprietary trading firm, typically refers to its trading strategies as focusing on intraday equities and options, among other instruments. However, the specific mechanics of how they count their trades for any stipulated period such as "100 trades over 50 days" is proprietary information and not publicly disclosed. If by "vertices" you're referring to turning points or specific events within a single trading strategy, it's not clear whether SMB would count those as individual trades or part of a broader trading strategy. In general, proprietary trading firms often have their own internal definitions and methodologies for counting trades, especially when multiple instruments or strategies are involved. Therefore, to get an accurate understanding of how SMB counts trades for any metrics they may publicly discuss, you'd likely need to consult directly with the firm or access their specific training and educational materials.

When you sell a covered call, does the buyer have to factor in they money they paid for the call when determining if it is prudent to exercise or not?

@Christiankota10 ай бұрын
When a buyer purchases a call option, the breakeven point indeed factors in the premium paid for the option. If they paid $5 for a call option with a $200 strike price, their breakeven would be at $205. For it to be financially prudent to exercise the option, the underlying asset should ideally be trading above $205. This way, the $5 premium is "recovered," so to speak, making the trade profitable. The market does not automatically assign shares to the buyer if they do not exercise the option. Assignment is an action initiated by the option holder (the buyer). If they do not exercise the option, it will expire worthless if it is out-of-the-money (i.e., the market price is below the strike price for a call option) at expiration. If it's in-the-money (market price is above the strike price), the buyer still has to manually exercise the option to take possession of the underlying shares, unless they are using an options trading platform that exercises in-the-money options automatically at expiration. But even automatic exercises usually consider the strike price alone, not the premium, so it would trigger at $200, not at the $205 breakeven point. Therefore, the onus is on the option buyer to exercise prudently, taking into account not just the strike price but also the premium paid.
