Finding a strategy that works is half the battle. Market structure is always changing and it’s important to not necessarily change strategy with a high win rate, but to adapt while keeping your strategy in tact. In my opinion if you are rolling a 0DTE trade, that current 0DTE strategy is no longer valid and you are in the “hope” category. Take the Stop Loss and re-evaluate that Current day’s price action.

I actually do similar trades but an iron condor in the 0DTE far out of the money in the am. I will move the untested side up or down as the day goes on. The iron condor will be $10-$15 wide and usually I can capture around $3 by end of day. Has been working pretty well.

I was doing the same and was quite successful. However, last week, I was badly whipsawed from over-hedging with put spreads on Fed day. It was going great till one of them had to open his mouth and send the market down sharply. I'm doing less 0 DTE and just striving for several trades on SPX, QQQ, and SPY ranging from a week to two weeks out that make things way less stressful and unpredictable. For SPX, I feel safer following Karen the Super-trader's pattern of 2 weeks out, and 10 or less delta. That's been doing better as well. I take profits and re-establish when I'm at .50 to 1.00 up on either side of an IC.

He mentions his indicators towards the end of the video - DXY, VIX, bonds, etc. He said he's using the economic calendar to be aware of info that could affect the market, and he goes usually ATM. He explained his strategy - he uses credit spreads with the occasional condor or fly. If the guy is following Tasty methods as he says, he's not using any technical indicators. The tasty method is almost pure statistics, and they don't do technical analysis in the way it's usually thought of. Besides which, as they mention in the video, everyone is watching the same movie - the difference is risk management, position size management.

Inspiring. My takeaway is find what works for you personally and keep on doing that.... until it doesn't anymore. Gotta be careful you don't blow up when the market changes and you don't recognise it beforehand, like the popular short volatility trade that blew up an ETF or 2. Also selling super out the money options which works well until it doesn't. Sounds like he's found a niche which for whatever reason few other professional market participants have exploited and thus gotten rid of for whatever reason. It takes time though and a fair amount of learning to work out what works for you.

He starts with a bit of an edge because he is selling and the premium gives a bit of head start. Also, any decent day trader can gauge entry with at least 75% accuracy as to what the movement of the underlying is trending for at least the next few minutes, which puts him a little further ahead at the outset.

@kiwihello2 Жыл бұрын

I think he is saying he is picking up or down on average 50 50. I don't think he does a 50 50 spread. His spreads are short option ATM and the other one $10 away. The spread width goes to $20 sometimes when he rolls, if that allows him to collect credit premium.

Yes that what I thought too. He is rolling out and in time and widening the spread on the tested side so he can do the roll for credit. He also said he does the rolls once or twice.

@Md-ht3cg Жыл бұрын

When you sell an ATM spread you have theta decay working in your favor, so you don't lose a large amount of the contract value in chop. This allows you to sit through chop during the morning without taking massive losses. Obviously, a strong intraday trend move against you will reduce your spread worth. And obviously as the day goes on theta decays exponentially so you have to be more clearly right on direction in the afternoon or roll/take the loss. But if his strategy is to make a morning trade and take it off in the morning for a profit, then it's not so bad.

So he sells a 0 dte credit spread ATM with a risk:reward of 1:1 and rolls out in time and either up or down depending on how the market moves. Not sure I understand his rolling strategy. Does he only roll if the market moves away from the credit spread short strike and takes a loss if it goes below his short strike or does he roll out and down if the market ends up below his short strike. I'm assuming that he doubles his spread width only if the market moves against his position (below the short strike if he sells a put spread). Not clear on what he is doing.

Wouldn't it be easier to just trade S&P futures contracts with a stop loss at 1:1 risk to reward, since you are speculating on the direction (using ATM spreads with a 1:1 RR) in this strategy?

I do not think so because with your option position you do not have a physical stop-loss order in the market.

Answer "Correct, Im always rolling out and up, or out and down." At the 11 minute mark he is talking about waiting till the last minute (3:50pm) to "ROLL". So.. I must have this wrong, but it seems like he takes quick profits on the winners & doubles down on his losers, and extends the losers out 1 or 2 days?

I assumed he was algo trading as a software engineer. But when he talked about trading around information and calendar events it sounded more manual. Either he works from home or quit his job to trade. No way he’s doing all that and working a full time job in a secure government facility. I would be interested to know his routine and how much trading, if any, he has automated.

Exactly what he does for his rolling strategy is confusing - at least to me. I'd love to see a "whiteboard" of his strategy for a day.

@kiwihello2 Жыл бұрын

I think what he does is, let's say he had short 4130 put and long 4120 put when SPX was 4132 just for example's sake. If SPX touches 4130, he would try to roll by goin out (in time, like next day) and, or moving the short put strike down, but since this will not always generate credit, he widenes the width of the spread, basically increasing the max loss of the spread from 1,000 to 2,000 (minus the credit). This is why many in the comments identify that this is a bit dangerous. A bit like (or a lot) like applying Martingale system, also like doubling down on red or black on roulette in the casino.

@@kiwihello2 I think this is 1 of the ways that the market is eventually going to screw 0DTE traders.

@andrewmercado60 Жыл бұрын

@@kiwihello2 Yeah the "rolling for a credit" aspect isn't all that important if he's still increasing his max risk by widening the spread. It sort of helps but at the end of the day he's basically saying he does whatever he has to do to keep the dream alive. I have no idea how he could be mechanical in the long run given the blowout risk if the market goes one-directional.

@@kiwihello2 So is he collecting 100% of the premium he received? Or only 10% which is $100?

@kiwihello2 11 ай бұрын

@@BB0NES I think your question is more about the vertical spread trade in general than what he does with his rolling and widening. I hope I am not sounding patronizing, just trying to answer your question. I am looking right now at the SPX options prices. SPX is at 4501.90. The 4500 4490 put bull spread trades at around 3.10 which is $310 credit. I do collect that but I will only keep it if the SPX remains above 4500. Does that answer your question? My max risk is $1000 - $310 = $690 - if SPX closes below 4490. And the result will be some linear function between $310 profit and $690 loss if SPX closes between 4500 and 4490. Again it's more about what a vertical spread is than what he does.

@brybryBillions Жыл бұрын

I manage similarly for SPX, with the way our markets have been range bound, and how you’re aggressively collecting premium with these rolls and doubling strikes, it is about 2-3x rolls for me too. You have to size this trade based on what your max double size is on third roll. Giving yourself room to recover. Also, add opposite sides spreads on the rolls. Offsets your PL.
