How is this 4500 monthly for "Small Account" when you need at least 4k as collateral to earn 640 :/ I mean, you keep saying 15% a in 5 weeks..... so, using your words, you need to invest 30K to earn 4.5k Monthly.... Maybe my definition of "small account" is wrong... (btw, its a legit questions, my numbers dont add up)
actually you need about a 300k account because.. you cant put your whole account on the line with credit spreads.. because one lose will wipe you out.. even 300k is low because that is 10% of your account..
@@zzzzz767 not true - although I do Not agree with his theory which is flawed..... however credit Spreads have controlled risk and cannot loose more than the spread distance! Period
Both of these plays were wrong AMZN went to $193 on Jun 28 and SBUX dipped to $72 before Jul 19, but looks like he could have closed out ahead if not waiting to expiration. I'm curious what the actual outcome was.
How do you define a "small account"?. Would probably need around $50k min to make $4,500 a month and that requires close to a 10% return, assuming minimal losses. One week out for a spread trade is unrealistic as the returns would be peanuts
Understand the risk. If someone is making $4500 with a "small account," they are taking a lot of risk. Personally, I hate credit spreads. On his Amazon example, his profit potential is $57 on $443 of risk. He went out 5 weeks and placed a 5-contract order, which produces a maximum gain of $285. That is if you hold the position to expiration. The max loss is $2,215, so the reward to risk is more like 13%. Who cares about percentages? Look at the raw numbers and risk/reward. Additionally, this is $285 over 5 weeks so the $4500 per month is BS or you take A LOT of risk.
You get assigned those shares at that price, which then you will take a total loss. Reason you have that spread is cover the shares that you don't have and the collateral you have is the difference in the contracts. Best thing to do is buy to close if you are on 0DTE and currently going to lose that trade to prevent yourself from being assigned. if you do this instead of say, losing $100 you might only lose $40-$50. Which helps your losses. Had one last week where i was going to be assigned and when i buy to close it cost me $34 to do that, but i made $10 on the spread, and i free up my $100 collateral. So in the end the math is -34+$10=-24+$100(collateral) so my total loss was $24 instead of $100.
This is what I've been trying to understand. Are you holding this until it expires? Are there indicators that trigger an early closing of the position?
It depends if the trade is profitable at the time of closure. Typically you can see a positive out negative value for what your position is currently worth. If it's positive, then you can close for profit regardless of what day it is. You just can't get MAX profit until expiration. You can also close at a loss if the position is currently negative. But definitely do NOT let it expire if the stock price is in between your two strike prices, unless you have the capital to cover getting assigned on the sold option. Because then you will get exercised, but the bought option will be worthless so it's not a suitable method to cover it anymore...
when I sell puts. i hold until expire. I want it to expire worthless. but I also don't mind the execution. I collect the premium and max profit is it expires worthless. I want it so far out of the money where I am happy to pay that price today. for a hamburger friday. if something is trading at 50 today and I sell that 30 strike put for 60 days left. I am happy today if that fills because I want to own it and Im not paying 50. I want to sell that call strike at 50 or 60 and be happy,
say you find one with 1500 collateral and 250 premium. you take that 250. by the end of thursday it is at 150. you can buy to close at 150. pocket the 100, and free up that 1500 collateral to sell a different week.
@@jimflask1164 I somewhat understand this, but somewhat confused on covered puts. If you're positive, wouldn't you want to sell it rather execute? When it executes, don't you pay the differences? Like nobody's in this to loose... I hate loosing.
you don't unless you run the risk of being assigned. If you are above or below your strike price just let them expire. Your profit is the upfront credit you get at the being of the contract.
You are the most informative guy that explains it in a way I can understand. Thanks buddy. I'll continue to like and watch every video I can of yours. I'm on the road a lot as an inspector and I'll listen to you almost the whole ride
what happens if the put you are selling goes Out of the Money 1 hour after market closes but the put you bought expired on market close in the money? I know you said there is a "max loss" but could'nt the other person exercise the option on you? which is x100 the amount just expired
Can you make a video about Early Assignment/exercise of Spreads? I am afraid MM might exercise my spreads early and I am forced to buy/sell for which I don’t have capital or I hold shares to cover it.
Can someone please explain the max loss 436$ on the Amazon example? Unlimited, sure i know. But what if the option expires right between my two strike prices? So i have to sell the 100 amazon stocks( which i don't have) but I'm not covered with my buy call. I don't see the 436$ something loss in there...
Okay, here's my thought. Before I say it, I want you to know I find your videos very educational. That said, I have a problem with your first example with Amazon. If I was using the 3-month Bollinger band, like you have mentioned in the past that you like to use, Amazon is right in the middle. In fact, there's a chance it can bounce off of the VWAP at 180 and then test that 189. Especially in 6 weeks. Just my pov Also, when would you close this trade? Do you wait until it reaches your break even?
selling calls, you are limiting that upside potential. Worse case is being filled on expire. All we want when selling calls is the gradual or even sharp down move next candle after we sell. Ride out the decay for the 2 weeks. Selling puts same thing but reverse. We think it's an up trend. Sell puts, collect the premium. It's free money. IF the technicals are right. If I think it's going up. Selling that put might be the thing. I don't like to sell the call unless it's above my average cost per share minimums. even then the higher the better.
Don't you have to have a good amount of knowledge to get approved for spreads? I was denied and had to wait a year to apply again. Not sure if it was due to knowledge or lack of funds in account.
The point is that pennies on the dollar are being made and you will not ever reach $4500 per month without taking enormous risk. Spreads are terrible, imo.
So I sell call and puts and understand the risk to each of those but I seriously don’t understand the risk to put/call credit spreads? It just all seems too good? Someone explain this like I’m a toddler.
Youd have to trade a $1 spread. For example sell a $30 put on intel and buy a $29 put. Your $100 covers the spread but you will need $3000 in cash or margin if Intel goes below $30 on expiration to cover buying the shares if they get exercised.
Could you make a video on how you determine when to buy a Call Credit Spread or Sell a Call Credit Spread, and vice versa. I think that it is more important to understand when to perform the action than how to perform the action.
Can anyone explain easily regarding the Call Credit Spread Limit Price? Henry had bid 0.57 - ask 0.73, he mentioned he'd be low balling himself if he chose 0.57 and .73 would get a low fill rate? Surely the lower price is better for you.... I am just trying to understand the logic behind the lower value being bad for Henry...?
This is a credit spread, so the higher amount of the leg is the credit. The credit is what he's earning and a higher amount means more credit. If it were a debit spread, then it would cost money to open this spread and you'd want the lower amount.
you have to find the stock to use the strategy. its always 100. so anything under $10 per share will be under $1000. you can do 100 shares of AMC for 300 and sell the put, even while its trading at 4 to 5 each. but you have to want to be filled or be right that it is going up. amc makes no sense and trying to collect premiums on something so volatile is like juggling hot coals.
Spreads are awesome. As long as you don’t trade them on robinhood, webull, or moomoo. Those motherfuckers will close your trades out at 3:30pm instead of letting it expire because you’re not a billion dollars away from strike.

@@thanasballabani1026 think of it. he is being paid to buy low. if he is filled. he is collecting a premium to sell calls for a profit on the back side.
I look for a 16ish delta on the the high end and prefer 10 or less for most of my spreads. I've accepted a much higher delta and made insane returns but that's years of painful experience and proper risk management.
All it takes one goes against you and you lose months worth of profits even at 50%. Its funny how you presenters don't state that. and you never make the whole (few dollars) amount unless you hold to expiration which is more risky. You think wallstreet is stupid and let you make money that easy.
With a delta of -0.18, you'll lose 18% of the time. If you did this trade every day, that's losing about once per week. I don't know many accounts that could survive that lol.
@@organic-wealth Actually, that is not correct, and it is not how Delta works. You can have 18 Delta trades and lose 100% of the time. All the Greeks must be analyzed together as they are constantly moving. This is the trouble with just throwing out terms and percentages.

Right! They using “small accounts” as click bait. Time wasted yet again.
With a $10K, you can make $1k to $1.5k per week using credit spreads. Remember that options expire weekly.

So what would you do with a larger portfolio if you're saying to put less into the put selling strat? Say 90k-150kplus?
Quick question, what if we choose to close the position before DTE? Do you loose money?

Are there any Strategies that do not include selling options? Because sadly in Germany you can only buy calls and puts.
There are option Levels that you will be eligible for. Try to increase the option level you are currently assigned by checking with your broker
@@santhoshk3920 I do not think you understand. In Germany brokers are not allowed to give you the possibility to sell options by law.
When you buy an option, you pay a premium. The seller collects the premium. As stated above, check with your broker to get the proper level to sell.
Id say you should sell options with 10-20K min
Hi Henry, great content as usual. Could you please highlight how much cash collateral is needed to take on any of these strategies?
you have to find the stock to use the strategy. its always 100. so anything under $10 per share will be under $1000. you can do 100 shares of AMC for 300 and sell the put, even while its trading at 4 to 5 each. but you have to want to be filled or be right that it is going up. amc makes no sense and trying to collect premiums on something so volatile is like juggling hot coals.
the collateral is the difference between strike prices which is $5. or $500 ( $5x100) collateral in his examples
Thank you Henry!
