Please note slide correction at 07:48 Should read "at any price at or ABOVE 295 both puts would expire worthless" SMB's Options Workshop: bit.ly/3K4ac79
@rogerp14773 ай бұрын
I asked before but looks like it disappeared and so reposting the question. I watched the workshop through the above link. I saw the discounted offer presented at the end. Question: The training that was offered was done recently or created long time ago. Hope someone from SMB answers it before I buy it. Thanks.

Just a few observations from my side I have traded options for over 15 years what I found was I was very profitable selling far out of the money credit spreads in fact one year I had almost 200% return however the one loss can potentially wipe out all the gains. Just to give you a perspective I grew a 27,000 account to $96,000 and then I lost 25,000 in one day, and then another 3,000 the day after that which completely destroyed my confidence The mistake I was making was I traded my entire account but now I just trade small positions and take profit when I can. The account doesn't grow as fast but there is a certain level of safety and also peace of mind

The negative comments here are unhelpful. SMB has consisently provided among the very best educational videos about options and trading. They have full training programs for aspiring traders and while these videos are very well done and easy to follow., they don't pretend to be the "be all and end all" for options trading. Any self-respecting trader should do their own due diligence and if they did, they would realize there's a little more to it than what is explained in this video. For instance, a 90% win rate is certainly not guaranteed, esp over a short interval of trades; the video doesn't say otherwise. SMB Capital provides excellent customer support and is very responsive to questions. If anyone thinks that all they need to trade successfully is a 15-min video, they shouldn't be trading. Kudos to SMB Capital.

@WorldSpectator7053 ай бұрын
I have a high opinion of SMB capital as well. However, I respectfully disagree that it's "unhelpful" to point out the drawbacks in what's being presented. The "negative" comments here are not on disputing the 90% win rate, it's that the market makers are normally not paying us enough in premium, to compensate us for the 10% we lose in these trades over the long run. If I win $1 in 9 trades, and lose $12 on the 10th, that is not a "wonderful strategy" IMO. The only reason the strategy presented was a nice "winner" was because the perfect time was cherry-picked to implement it, at the end of 2022 with a year long bull run to follow. The magic was NOT in the strategy, it was in the 20/20 hindsight as to what the market did for that one year period! I think Seth would agree with that to be honest. Pointing that out is not being "unhelpful", I think on the contrary it's being quite "helpful" to point out to newer traders that they need to understand the reality of things. And the reality is, market makers are NOT in the habit of overpaying us for credit spreads we sell, they underpay us, that's how they make THEIR money! So the truth is, you have a have a real "edge" to make money, and 20/20 hindsight is NOT an edge, it's wishful thinking. We could have easily had a "thesis" that the middle of 2022 was "the bottom" and lost our shirts with this strategy. Or the market could have bounced the first few months of 2023, and then rolled over again, and again, given us a full and painful loss. So it's no use pretending, as the demo optimistically did, that we can simply predict, in advance, that we are in for a year long bullish market.. And if the market maker is underpaying us for our credit spreads, then I don't see how that's a very wise bet to take, since we can't predict the future, unless we have some other another actual "edge" (other than hindsight), to overcome that typical underpayment of premium by the market makers.

@@WorldSpectator705 Ok, I'll concede you have a point. Perhaps it would have been more "complete" for the video to clarify that the "90% win rate" is not a strategy in an of itself, but must be combined with an exit strategy to limit the 10% of losses to something far less than the max. For example, if the premium for 1 contract is 33 cents (for selling a 10-wide put credit spread), then the expectancy formula = # wins * avg win/trade - # losses * avg loss/trade = 9 * .33 - 1 * 9.67 = -6.7; in other words, a LOSS of $6700 with 10 contracts. However, by mitigating those losses with, say, a 3x credit premium strategy, e.g. exit with a Buy-to-close order when the price of the spread rises to 3x the initial credit premium, that could change the expectancy formjula such that you're in nicely positive territory.

$330 credit vs. $4700 maximum loss at a 90% chance of win? $330 x 9 wins = $2970. 1 loss at $4700 without stop, buyback, or rolling out. $4700 - 2970 = $1730 net loss over 10 trades.

You are on the right track, but you have missed something. You have the max loss right but there can be various outcomes when the closing price falls between the short put and the long put. The bottom line is that, thanks to the efficient market, the expected return over the long run is zero.

Appealling for the high win rate--I am sure in the cases when the trade goes against the position can be mitigated. Just tried to conduct this trade on TradeStation as a strategy test, unfortunately did not have the $200k+ available funds to execute a $2,355 max loss trade for a $220 credit. Maybe just need more permissions (higher account trade level)?

One loosing trade can wipe out 9 win trades. And it’s not good idea just to open a trade on any random day. We get higher premium when IV is high

Credit spreads are negative vega trades which is ok when IV is high to maximise the returns. If IV is low then a positive vega startegy is ideal like a diagonal spread.

I appreciate effort to create detailed explanation of strategy, but one important detail was omitted. If strategy is wining 90% of time, it doesn't mean its profitable, it can still blow up an account. So, many times it was said that strategy won x10 times in a raw about $350, which makes $3,500 profit. But it was as well said that broker wanted minimum of $4,500 in the account. So, I guess worst case scenario loss was $4,500. What is the point of winning $3,500, if potential loss is $4,500?
@WorldSpectator7053 ай бұрын
Exactly right. We are being underpaid for the risk we're taking on the credit spread. This focus on "high win rate" is frankly very deceptive and I'm a little surprised that true professionals like SMB would be pushing that nonsense. I think they know better. I'm sure they evaluate their own traders using their trading "profit factor" (ratio of wins versus losses) and NOT their "win rate".

Well, it's actually worse than that. Even if you have the capital to trade this so-called strategy month-after-month for years, you're being underpaid by the market maker for each 90% winner, so your 10% losers are larger in dollar terms than the sum of your 90% winners. It's a losing strategy in the long run, UNLESS you have some other 'edge' to selectively use it, and I don't mean 20/20 hindsight, which is the "edge' Seth uses in this video.

You have to apply for approval to trade options. And there are different levels of approvals required for different types of options trades. For example a lower level of approval is required to trade covered calls, than to trade spreads as with selling credit spreads. You probably also have a "margin" account I believe. Call your broker or hunt on their website for someplace that allows you to ask for approval to trade options, and again, for this strategy, you need the approval level required to trade "spreads", so that's what you need to apply for.
