Always brilliant analysis of derivatives on this channel! I do not know as much as these guys, yet I have made an absolute fortune in markets in recent years. One of my many Profit Centers is simply selling covered calls, over and over and over again. Today I just had 15 calls expire. I always look forward to Mondays so I can sell them once again. There are always ways to make even better profits than we've already made. BUT... I try to stay happy with the fact that I routinely outperform all the so-called "experts" and big funds who manage countless billions of dollars for rich investors who don't know how to manage their own accounts.
Question: can I add buying power to my futures account by using a contract as collateral selling a shorter term expiration like you can do with PMCC? Example: buy 1 contract of NQ for Dec24 and then sell a sep24 contract.would that sold contract add me some buying power or actually decrease my buying power
I think you’ve *FINALLY* decided that you’re right - the market *IS* fair. Previously, I would have argued that it was an UNfair, *3-sided* market, with the _”house”_ being the *MARKET MAKERS.*
I have a ira account so ould not do this trade but can I do this if I own shares in a stock and is it still a strangle. is the return on capital similiar if I sell the call and put against it? I have a decent sized account.
@run2daylite73 - I think the mistake was the slide said the $25k figure was the portfolio value, when the test recommended Theta at 1% of net liquidity (which should be closer to 75k)
1% theta decay seems like a lot. IS that 1% of the Margin Used or 1% of Net Liq (i.e. $100k Net Liq Portfolio, $50k Margin for Options). 1% of Margin used would be $500 / per day. seems more reasonable, or 0.5% of Net Liq. This being a general target
The options equivalent of their sports book example would be if you could buy calls or buy puts, but NOT sell calls or puts. So yes you can buy the Blackhawks to lose, but you're still paying the bookmaker's price, not (necessarily) a fair market price.
But that's not a realistic approach. With margin or cash secured, u don't get that 1% return on the portfolio, unless u play extremely high IV. With futures options possible but not stock options.
I'm new in options but have been trying to get the lingo down. Listening to any of these tasty guys they talk a mile a minute and seem to be all over the place talking about alpha dog upside with equal quasi downside coupled with theta copulation taking upside downside theta decay on price action of weeklies of percent decay times actual cost conference times 65. What the hell is all that shit!!! Spell the shit out talk a little slower and know that you have people that aren't experts listening trying to learn something new.
Tom is hard to follow when he explains things - and sometimes I don't know if I am missing something or if he is saying something the wrong way (I could point out the most confusing videos but I won't). Tony usually catches it when that happens but not always. Anyway - you really have to go through all of the learning and also start trading these options to get a handle. It does get easier. It is also important to remember that this is an evolving process even for these giys. I have only been here a month or so, but I have already figured out some of the things they said 5 years ago (about managing, etc) have changed over time.
I realize your comment was about a year ago, but if you are still at a novice level for options trading, I'd suggest starting with videos from many of the other professionals on UA-cam. Once you have a more solid understanding, coming back here will be extremely helpful. These videos are for new traders, but I'd say they are for upper level new traders at best.
the same issue for me in that tom talks very fast. my solution is to slow down the playback speed until i am comfortable with the rate that tom is speaking and i can comprehend it better.
The title says 1% (.01) per day, they talk about making 1% (.01) per day, but the math that they use works out to .1% (.001) per day... $2500 x .001 = $2.50. Do you really want to take advice on this kind of a topic from two guys that can't do math???
How can you only focus on Theta alone? You're going to get shitted on when your gamma moves against you. Anyone who's trading options that hasn't read something by Taleb is wasting their time.

ACTUAL DISCUSSION begins at: 7:21. They rant way too much.
Agreed. First 7 minutes are a waste of everybody's time
I actually enjoy it it is nice to have someone else's opinion on the history of the market.

To me it is equally interesting, though my market and culture language all are so different!
Thank you
It's because it's a live show and they need to kill time, but I hope they only uploaded the important parts.
TSLA @ $82, such a throwback!
Hello, from the future, it's like 800 bucks now 😂😂
Like, after split
It would be overpriced now at 82.

Still not bad considering the shooting of the video though.

but they still don't care
You missed what they said about Tesla.
Awesome video. We also like to make sure we are long theta. Keep that money rolling in every day.
The title of the video should be updated to say 0.1% of Theta per day.
Great convo 👍🏻 been trading options for 6 months now. Watched hundreds of videos. This channel and tastytrade have the best options content by far.

the tastytrade network!
It's not 1% OR 0.01%. 2.50 is 0.1% of 2,500. Come on guys. Don't confuse everyone please.
Agreed, they failed basic math
10 basis points per day
Haha yeah I came to the comments for the same reason. So the title of the video should be how to earn 0.1% a day?

$2,500 x .01( 1%) clearly equals $25... what am I missing here? Love TastyTrades stuff but maybe there math isn't the greatest haha.
@run2daylite73 - I think the mistake was the slide said the $25k figure was the portfolio value, when the test recommended Theta at 1% of net liquidity (which should be closer to 75k)
At the very end like last 20 seconds they say “1% should be 0.01%.” But I’m still not sure if they meant .01% or .1%.
Yeah it was a mistake. Goal is 0.1%
15:50 is where they mention the correction
It's return on capital. So the account is $2500 but only deploys 10% of capital at a time, and makes 1% per day on that.
Best financial content ever!!!
“I live in a Paperless World”...Shuffles around dozens of papers.
This is great advice to apply to life
I have à question when the decay is applied ? At the end of the during when the market close or at each variation like other component of the formula
It just comes off over the course of the day basically
So trade higher Iv rank stocks in iron condor basically?
what are the best online trading classes, that can teach me how to buy and sell options, for beginners?
this
In the first page they talk about 1% decay but in the example they say 2.5 out of 2500 which is 0.1%. Which one is correct?
0.1%, look for a reply by @johnmeeker9752
0.1%, but they never updated the video title.

Bautista looks so young there, Tom never ages. Looks the same today!

I favorited the shit out of this video. Great stuff.
I don't get it.... 25 is 1 % of 2500, why did they change it to 2.50 ?
the option multiplier is 100 shares. 2.50 premium is 250 in cash
9:52 Why gme buy stoppage was a crime. It is only fair if you can play both sides. Apex clearly execs should be in jail.
1% theta decay seems like a lot. IS that 1% of the Margin Used or 1% of Net Liq (i.e. $100k Net Liq Portfolio, $50k Margin for Options). 1% of Margin used would be $500 / per day. seems more reasonable, or 0.5% of Net Liq. This being a general target
@tastylive ~ this surely has to be .2% not a full 1% per day Theta Decay target... please revisit this topic.
when he says 1% theta decay per day is he talking about gross profits (cash in hand) after closing all trades?
Market price, so gross UNREALIZED profits/losses depending on whether you are long or short.
watching this in 2020 and seeing tesla under 100 lol
TSLA in 80s? what decade is this?
16:50 1% is 25
Well, you could, bet/buy the Blackhawks to lose, r did I not understand correctly?
The options equivalent of their sports book example would be if you could buy calls or buy puts, but NOT sell calls or puts. So yes you can buy the Blackhawks to lose, but you're still paying the bookmaker's price, not (necessarily) a fair market price.
You use only 10% of Portfolio Cash to trade to protect yourself. $2500 x 10% = $250. So $250 x 1% = $2.50
But that's not a realistic approach. With margin or cash secured, u don't get that 1% return on the portfolio, unless u play extremely high IV. With futures options possible but not stock options.
