Smart way to make money every week using options! 😄 The explanation is really clear, even if you're not new to trading like me. 📈 Selling ATM put credit spreads is a good move. Thanks for sharing this useful info! 👏

It isn't said enough-thank you for all the time and hard work it takes to produce these videos. In the spirit of education, and please in no way take this as a criticism, let me call your attention to the video at timeline 3:21.

In the example, every single trade is held until expiration. Overall returns could be increased by closing early any positions that start to go negative.
Thanks SMB, for these videos. Do you sell CALL option spreads if you are bearish, with the same 5-wide, one strike out options? That would have improved the results.
A credit call spread is useful for a bearish sentiment, and a credit put spread is useful for a bullish sentiment. Iron condor for markets that are expected to hold within a range.
@utdoc, I am not sure that this would work as well based on anecdotal observations over the years. You don't get paid as much for call spreads and so the final profit numbers may not be workable. You'd have to experiment and back test.
Dear Seth, thank you for this excellent and practical presentation. My key takeaway is that everything relies on the quality of the trader's indicator. So which one is the most reliable based on your long experience? I have two other questions: (i) Regarding the trade expiration on Friday, how can you let the trade expire and do another trade on the same Friday since you have to wait until after the market closure to know if your option has expired worthless or not? (I am still learning about options, so bear with me if the question looks silly) (ii) Can this strategy be applied to stocks, or are index options the best underlying vehicles to do it? Best regards, Philippe, Paris, France
When you say to place the trade before the index closes - do you attempt to open the position right before market close? What kind of timeframe? The last 5 minutes?
@Karankatiyar5414--then the short option pays out to the extent the price drops below it, and the long option expires worthless. You can still make money if the payout is below the credit received.
@@sethfreudberg4750 I am somewhat new to this and this is one question I always was curious about. Have you made any videos that covers this? I would like to watch
Start by looking at the chart of the spread you're going to trade.....then decide how far above the credit spread you can still Sell for a net credit In the spread.... within the period of the Length of the Call or Put ......1 month for example.... Always Cover w a Spread if approved by your broker......if IF you get More Credit than Debits.
I am a little confused by this. I have Think or Swim, but I don't understand if this is suggesting that the 10 day simple moving average is a good indicator or not. I don't fully understand the trade if your indicator is bearish. Anyone know where I can read or watch a more detailed explanation of this strategy.
I was confused early on myself. I've only been trading for less than a year. But pay close attention to basically everything, especially what they are saying. People talk about others and then themselves as being bullish or bearish. I have learned that a regular put spread is bullish. A regular call spread is bearish. On the other hand. A long call is bullish. And a long put spread is bearish. In this video he is explaining that the "person" putting the spread on is being bullish but the spread itself is a put spread which is also bullish. Hope this helps. I'm going to start trying it myself.
Yes....look at you tube on Bearish Option Spreads....But I would sell both sides and Buy the Wings....But Practice First....Then do the SMB course.... I think the First thing you're asked by SMB is "What are you Trading Now" ...by Mike Bellafury....saw his video somewhere.....
I read online how to upgrade trade levels.....they more or less said to exaggerate you years as a trader and was told by someone at TOS Think or Swim I could write SEC.....I was told by TOS My long shares would cover it! Hey, that's My money....why can't I cover w a long call or put ! Oh , I suppose you could Leverage it....then you'd be in the hold to Schwab for the 10-11 % ! Sure.
It's best to use 2-3 indicators (if not using naked charts) to gauge where the market may be going. Try to use one from each category. One that measures vol, one that measures momentum, maybe one other to determine trend.
@Scotthess6985, we weren't recommending the 10 SMA we were simply using that as an example of how to use an indicator to determine bullishness. You need to work with a number of different indicators until you find one that suits your trading style and approach.
@Melissam3837, thank you for your kind comments. The 10 SMA was an example of the kind of indicator that folks use, but we are not endorsing that particular one for this strategy. That is something that traders should establish for themselves.
Most brokerages will show a price between the bid and ask, reflecting a mid-point for entry. There is also usually a dropdown menu for you to select credit or debit spread. Depends on the brokerage, but most are similar.
Wouldn't different options (different strikes and different expiration dates) make them different securities, therefore not effected by wash sale rules? 9:34
@@ryanwaldkirch3364 no if it’s the same stock it doesn’t matter what strike price. It’s the same security so it will be affected by the wash sell rule.

Question: Do i need the $10,000 in cash in my account or just my accounts total value being over $10,000 and using Margin to fund the buy and and selling of the Put credit spread ?
I've developed a somewhat simplified options strategy that I want your opinion on. So basically i keep my strike price above my purchase price for the stock, sell bullish, and work a weekly chain. I'm curious if you think I'll be able to maintain this strategy as an options trader and perhaps if you could recognize any potential pitfalls that I would need to avoid. Any advice you offer is greatly appreciated, and feel free to generate content around my strategy.
Love SMB but the Risk of ruin way too high with this one. I get it 1-2% isn’t sexy but it keeps you in the game. If you are a degen and need to trade 10 lots at least spread it out. Some puts spreads, calls spreads, different indicators, different tickers, timeframes ect. You holding 10 lots and it gaps down you just locked up 25+% of you capital, rolling, fighting and praying.
@Stephen, that is something important for you to establish for yourself, but we may have many videos on indicators used by professional traders on our channel. I"d suggest your viewing many of those videos to begin to form a list of your preferred indicators for a trade such as the one we described in this video.
I would start with the Charts as he Seth shows on the videos....how far up/down did it move ...in how many minutes.....But always Cover the short w a long of course. Some people claim to close out at 90 %....but 30-50% of credit Much safer.....ask Seth if you can get his attention....and of course too much of a gap between the buy and sell and your gonna pay..
Just be sure not to loose more than 4 times in a row or you'll be wiped out. It would take true courage, after loosing 3 in a row, to place that 4th trade and risk a total loss of remaining capital.
Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.
Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.
Monitoring my portfolio closely has been incredibly rewarding. In just the past two quarters, I've made an impressive $273k. It's fascinating to see how experienced traders can generate significant returns. This has definitely been a bold and exciting decision for me.
My advisor is Camille Alicia Garcia, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
How does one get approved to trade credit spreads? The brokers won't say what I need to do to get approval. Just that the credit spreads are "3rd level" . No answer to my request for specific steps to take to get approval. Very frustrating. I have a funded account that is just sitting unused. Your presentation is very good. Thank you.
wow this is a very very aggressive trade for a 10k account. IF your wrong, there goes 20% of your account.not a very good risk management trade if you ask me.
Agree. This is a very aggressive approach (not judging yet). You are risking 28% of your portfolio for a 23% gain in a week. And you pitch tent at the money for almost a coin flip on the reliance of the 10 sma. Basically you are converting all your money for four tokens in the casino. It isn’t income it is windfall
@@andrewlee1275I think people can sell 1 credit spread rather than a ten lot if they are into better risk management. The risk is controlled by the seller. There is a chance all of that money is lost, but people can buy to close their credit spread to attempt to avoid that. A casino does have to worry about its bank being broken, but most people are not hitting their parlays. Out of the money put spreads should work out over time with proper risk management, but maybe not. Getting premium up front with out of the money credit spreads should have good probabilities, no?
You could write a trading bot, sit back and relax. Just need a magic indicator that has a consistent edge in the market, and if you get a good one, which is always correct, you could just sell naked options. Since you are always right, you can double your account every week, lol.
Partially agree. They did have to physically do the work, but if you’re just following one indicator like they say, the work is 90 seconds of effort per week. It’s far more passive, time-wise, than 99% of the passive”passive income” strategies out there.
Guys if you are surprised by this you are very amateurish. You will end up losing money no matter what in the long run. Unless you have a plan if the direction goes against you because it will. Trust me
Oh, you just need a magic indicator that will have a consistent edge in the markets, got it, got it... exactly the advice a newbie need: risk 20% of the account keeping their fingers crossed. Seriously, these options videos are pretty bad compared to other information on this channel. If I know how to trade, I don't need them, because they are very repetetive, and if I'm new to trading, they are just misleading. How to choose and backtest an indicator is the most important part and it is not here, and even if an indicator is 70% correct on the direction, you will still have 5-6 loosers in a row sometimes. Managing this strategy on 20% risk is going to be "fun".
I am just going to do my own study to see if it makes any sense. What I like is that they come up with awesome campaigns, it's not sporadic like jump from one stock to another every week. I know somebody who makes millions on just selling puts on QQQ nothing else. It's good to diversify but campaigns sound really smart. and if lets say pick 10-12 stocks to trade and every ones in a while revisit the list and add or take away according to fundamentals there is a possiblity to make pretty good money.
This is great. I have used this strategy, starting with a few thousand, but got bit in Sept. One put was in the money and the other was out of the money. I got assigned on a Thursday evening and on that Friday the market continued down and I had to execute the second one. I was very surprised to see you the assignment on a Thursday. But it did happen and it cost me. How does one account for that?
Im almost certain with certain brokerages like Think Or Swim, if you put the trade on as a Spread there is no assignment risk. It would close itself at a profit or loss.
and completely disregard all greeks? how in todays market? Even with POP being in the 90% market steal beats traders. I perhaps can agree that statistics take over in a situation like this. But statistics might be against us as well. Not sure at all. Want to take your course but it's way too expensive for somebody who is starting out. Thanks anyway for an interesting idea, I would like to do my own study for few months and see if this might work. Very interesting info!
@@sethfreudberg4750 thanks, I am wondering if you ight have a bit more advance workshops rather than start at the beginning learning spreads, greeks and other theory.
Everything you said only happen if the plant went through perfectly because your plant is very high risk for trade at the money ( even the chart seems bullish ). I always trade at low delta (20 or less) that means way inside ITM but some time still in trouble. Nothing is easy man, avoid high risk trade, make less money but safe.
In a bullish setting, What you think about buying weekly debit spreads instead of selling credit spreads? 1-2 strikes OTM. if you are wrong, you just lose a little, and if you are right, the reward is much bigger than selling credit spreads. Also, if you wrong you dont have that big risk of getting assigned. Thanks
@Daveb that is of course preferable but you'd have to go deep in the money in most cases to achieve that, which then becomes a much lower probability trade.
Same reason they need all these elite traders. If they could double their money every year with simple options strategies, they wouldn't be sweating their asses off studying level 2.
These are bogus advertising The option trading is the most complicated is highly complicated one and 95 percent of trader loose money in option trading .Don't believe Allthe and loose the money.
I have not found the same pricing today’s SPX pricing. Index closed 5344. 7 days out 5340=48.30 x 100 x 10=$48300 5335puts =47.70x100x10=4770. 48300-47700 =$600. Requiring me to put up $4400. 8/12/24

How would you manage the trade ? Or do you just take it to the expiration date every week?
Goes to expiration each week, hence passive.
In the example, every single trade is held until expiration. Overall returns could be increased by closing early any positions that start to go negative.
What is the optimal delta from your point of view? I like to choose a delta between -.20 and -.10.

I am just going to do my own study to see if it makes any sense. What I like is that they come up with awesome campaigns, it's not sporadic like jump from one stock to another every week. I know somebody who makes millions on just selling puts on QQQ nothing else. It's good to diversify but campaigns sound really smart. and if lets say pick 10-12 stocks to trade and every ones in a while revisit the list and add or take away according to fundamentals there is a possiblity to make pretty good money.
Don’t risk 20% unless you are sure: risk 2-5%

This is great. I have used this strategy, starting with a few thousand, but got bit in Sept. One put was in the money and the other was out of the money. I got assigned on a Thursday evening and on that Friday the market continued down and I had to execute the second one. I was very surprised to see you the assignment on a Thursday. But it did happen and it cost me. How does one account for that?
Im almost certain with certain brokerages like Think Or Swim, if you put the trade on as a Spread there is no assignment risk. It would close itself at a profit or loss.
and completely disregard all greeks? how in todays market? Even with POP being in the 90% market steal beats traders. I perhaps can agree that statistics take over in a situation like this. But statistics might be against us as well. Not sure at all. Want to take your course but it's way too expensive for somebody who is starting out. Thanks anyway for an interesting idea, I would like to do my own study for few months and see if this might work. Very interesting info!
Thanks @eg. Looking forward to seeing you progress as you study more.
@@sethfreudberg4750 thanks, I am wondering if you ight have a bit more advance workshops rather than start at the beginning learning spreads, greeks and other theory.
Everything you said only happen if the plant went through perfectly because your plant is very high risk for trade at the money ( even the chart seems bullish ). I always trade at low delta (20 or less) that means way inside ITM but some time still in trouble. Nothing is easy man, avoid high risk trade, make less money but safe.
Vokay
In a bullish setting, What you think about buying weekly debit spreads instead of selling credit spreads? 1-2 strikes OTM. if you are wrong, you just lose a little, and if you are right, the reward is much bigger than selling credit spreads. Also, if you wrong you dont have that big risk of getting assigned. Thanks
Risking 2800 to make 2200, I would prefer something closer to 1:1 on a credit spread
@Daveb that is of course preferable but you'd have to go deep in the money in most cases to achieve that, which then becomes a much lower probability trade.
I don't believe you, why are you selling your program if so successful
Same reason they need all these elite traders. If they could double their money every year with simple options strategies, they wouldn't be sweating their asses off studying level 2.
@Neal we are selling programs that we put our trainees through to trade on our desk.
Not passive at all..automated ETFs are passive, but most other things are not
5 strikes wide too risky
Pure clickbait
These are bogus advertising The option trading is the most complicated is highly complicated one and 95 percent of trader loose money in option trading .Don't believe Allthe and loose the money.
I have not found the same pricing today’s SPX pricing. Index closed 5344.
7 days out 5340=48.30 x 100 x 10=$48300
5335puts =47.70x100x10=4770. 48300-47700 =$600.
Requiring me to put up $4400.
