===== Video Summary =====
There are many options trading strategies to choose from, but a few stand out to me as great beginner strategies.
🟢 The Covered Call 🟢
The covered call strategy ("covered call writing") allows existing stock investors to earn some premium on the shares of stock they own by shorting calls against 100 shares of stock. The investors gets some downside protection from the call premium collected, making it a conservative introduction to options trading.
🟢 The Put Credit Spread (Short Put Spread/Bull Put Spread) 🟢
A Put Credit Spread (PCS) is an options strategy in which a put option is sold (or "shorted") and another put option with a lower strike price is bought. This strategy is used when the trader believes the underlying stock will stay above the sold put's strike price, thus allowing them to keep the premium collected from the trade. The bought put acts as a hedge, limiting the potential loss if the stock were to decline significantly.
🟢 The Bull Call Spread (Long Call Spread) 🟢
A Bull Call Spread is an options strategy in which a call option is bought and another call option with a higher strike price is sold. This approach is utilized when the trader anticipates the underlying stock will rise but not by a significant amount, limiting the maximum profit but also reducing the net cost of the trade. The sold call acts as a partial financing method for buying the lower strike call.
🟢 The Short Iron Condor 🟢
The Short Iron Condor is a neutral options strategy, comprising of two credit spreads: a bull put spread and a bear call spread. This strategy is used when the trader believes the underlying stock will not make a significant move in either direction before the options expire. The potential profit is the net credit received, and the potential loss is limited.

@@projectfinance sweet thank you man, you helped me understand options so thank you for taking your time to teach people
You taught me alot brother!! I just made money on spy today
Greaat video as always! I have basically taken you videos as a class and want to thank you so much for being the best options teacher online.
Although am new to options trading but have great interest in learning it. Thanks
thank you Chris! like your vidoe as always. qq: do you have any video to explain each strategies more in-depth? with live demonstration etc. thank you!
Very well explained, only thing that I miss here is evaluation of cases when stock / option price does not go in desired direction (you present only best case scenario)
Just Brilliant Vid!!!
Excellent explanation as usual. Your new graphics make everything even easier to understand.
Perfect! I'm glad to hear that and thank you for providing this feedback! Exactly why I'm going back and redoing important topics! More to come :D
Your older videos are still valuable@@projectfinance
This is great for people who want to be an options trader as a career, such as a volatility trader, or market maker. But not for a retail trader we don't need to know a lot of this info.
I personally think it helps to have as much info as possible. There are lots of ways to get in trouble with options due to lack of understanding of mechanics, so I think knowing the fine details can save lots of money. Even to this day I am learning new things. I appreciate the comment and view! Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much please I need help with weekly options trade.
Hey I’m new, I understand how to use these strategies but how do you determine which way the stock will go? How do you use technical analysis or whatever?
It looks like any option strategy will work if it goes your way. The questions are: What options do I trade? What strategy do I use?, What strike price and expiration dates do I select? Do the very successful traders have access to information that we do not have? How do I get that information?
Can your strategy be applied to intraday trading?
I was looking at put credit spreads from one of your other videos which was awesome and realized i have to have a margin account and higher options trading levels to do them which is a bit crazy for something thats a safer beginner strategy with defined risk! Very frustrating.
I hear you! Yeah you need a margin account to do any strategy that includes a short option. It's kind of silly since buying a put is riskier than buying a put spread assuming same long put strike.
However, it kind of makes sense though since if you get assigned on a short option and you don't have adequate funds to buy/short the shares, that's where the margin comes in. Can't go negative buying power in a cash account.
Hey, Chris! I wanted to ask you, what is the best approach to managing Iron Condors? I've watched your video on SPY study, which I guess could answer my question... However, I still wanted to ask you, what is a valid approach? Is a good way to manage Iron Condors is sell them with 45 DTE and then aim at collecting 50% of profit and/or manage at 21 DTE? Any thoughts?
Hi there, managing at 50% or 21 DTE is a great way to lock in winners and prevent bigger losses by avoiding holding all the way to expiration. If you close at 21 DTE and one spread is fully ITM, you likely won't have the max loss unless the spread is super deep ITM.
I would add closing a portion of the position at 35-50% profit and allowing a number of contracts to run further, maybe 75% profit or a DTE based exit.
Lastly I would say if one side is tested early in the trade, you can roll the opposing side to collect more premium and reduce your max loss potential (at the expense of a narrower profit window - lower probability of profit).
Good video
Thanks Jim! I appreciate it!
For call/bull spreads do you need to own the shares ? or do you fall in the risk of getting assigned ?
You don’t need to own the shares. However it is possible to get assigned on the short option of the position, but your long option will limit the risk of the shares. The positions risk remains the same before and after assignment. I recommend closing positions before expiration to avoid any assignment or exercise on the options.
@@projectfinance yea that makes more sense now, thank you for clarification your videos have helped out a lot !
hi Chris. when you mean by closing the postion before expiration to avoid assignment, do you mean to close the short put position? If so, does it mean your total profit will be reduced by the put that you purchased to close the position? thank you.@@projectfinance
more 0dte vids pls
Will do 👍
How well have you done? Using your skill and knowledge?
Dude these aren't for Beginners. A basic Long Call is a Beginner option strategy.
