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)
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 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!
Like the old video, this is another great video with excellent explanations about how options work. Could I ask you how you do your analysis on a stock to know if you are going to be Bullish or Bearish with the option?
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?
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.
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?
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).
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.
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

Can your strategy be applied to intraday trading?

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 !

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.
