Good information. As someone new to selling options and doing spreads (I've purchased options before and learned that lesson) the hardest thing for me has been watching the option show negative until close to the expiration.
I just started doing options. This video did help solidify my aim of using credit put spreads. Small account made $40 my first week. Would have made $120 second week but it going negative made me jump out. So only made $80 last week..
How did you manage to get approved to do credit spreads with a small account? What brokerage firm you are using? I’m with Fidelity doings options but they didn’t approve me for credit spreads ☹️
When would it close if it go's against you? How soon do you have to roll/close it? Is it like selling calls/puts and it jumps/dumps say 3 days early and get assigned. Will it get assigned only the expiration week for a say 4 week trade?
Thank you for your help, some of your videos says we can do put spread and do not need too much in our account, I have some money in my account, but Fidelity rep. is telling me that I have to have minimum 10k to do spread. What am I missing?
No selling a put or a call is the safest as you do not lose money. When you sell a put you are paid to buy 100 shares of stock at a certain price making it cheaper to buy shares. When selling calls you get paid to see calls at a certain price a good way to add income to stocks you hold that are doing good on price appreciation Selling spreads is called defined risk meaning you can only lose the max amount that you put into the trade. A 5 dollar spread means you put up 500 dollars minus any credits. For the example in the video you had to put up over 300 dollars and you can win about 140 if the price stayed higher then the strike price. In short you get to keep the credit if the price goes below the strike you pay back the credit and you pay some of the money from your pocket
lets say you do roll your tesla position and it continues to go down.. does that mean you'll keep rolling? wont you just keep losing money or are you hoping the stock will go up and you'll collect that premium?
We need a video on what to do if the stock is trading in between strike prices on day of expiration. When you say close does that mean buy back the short? Because when. I select close on RH the fill likeliness is low and doesn’t get filled.
What happens if you let it expire? At the expiration date, ideally you will be in profit of course (for the premium + gain on selling the put), but what happens with the bought call? it will be in loss, so the broker won't force you to exercise on the put?
something that doesn't make sense to me is if say you have a delta of 0.35. if that means the win rate will be roughly 65% of the time on a position that has a max profit of $142 and a max loss of $358, if you do the math and say 65 out of 100 times you win and 35 times out of 100 you lose, wouldn't your winnings in this instance be $9,230 and your loss be $12,530? how do you protect against the long term potential losses? is this where being able to accurately predict the market comes into play?
@@davidsosard4939 Correct. On Credit Spreads I open, I do so with the intent of closing at 50% Premium Collected which is typically a 10% ROI in 15 days. On a stock that is trending Up, that 15 days is usually shortened to about 6. On a stock that's moving flat, it's about 9 days. Theta always wins in the end, it's an unstoppable force. On a stock that's trending down, but above your Strike, you're still winning. I do not sell spreads on dog shit companies and pick far OTM strikes. On the rare occasion of assignment, I just ate the tiny loss and moved on. Rinse repeat.
With the current drop in market, will call credit spreads be better? Cuz not sure how long will the drop be. Any suggestions if it is your portfolio, what will you do?
Henry, I don't think my brokerage will allow me to do this type of trade unless I have enough cash in the account to cover the potential assignment of the short put. Thoughts?
should i still do put credit spreads if i think stocks are to crash and just do what you did and keep opening down or do you think a call credit spread is a good idea
If you're bullish on a stock or you think the market will move sideways then Put credit spread. Otherwise Call credit spreads on stocks you think will go down.
True but buying puts and buying calls is the most risky thing to do, selling spreads is in the middle, and selling puts or call is the safest especially using the wheel strategy
Robinhood has many good positions with low likelihood of getting filled, that’s why doing bull put spreads on RH is not very easy. At least that’s my experience.
Can you make more life advice videos? I’d like to hear more wisdom about finding balance. I’ve made more money with options lately but it didn’t make me happier like I thought it would
Everyone please keep in mind that you can have a hard lose if this trade doesn't go in your favor. If you sell a cash-secured put or covered call you can always regain your lost stock value. This trading strategy entails more risk. But with more risk comes larger rewards as well.
I want to invest roughly $7,000 in stocks since i've heard that even in challenging times, Investors may turn to profit. Any excellent ideas for stocks?
Sold Hawaii Electrical (HE) $10 put expires today. The damned thing went to $8 $9 a few days ago, but it is $10.40 now. Looks like the put will expire. This company is monopoly in Hawaii, but there are lawsuits against it due to last year's fire.
The lower priced put you sold is your risk management. That is why brokerage will keep the $500 for collateral per contract. If it closes in between the 2, then that is your risk amount. The price falls below the short position putting it ITM but doesn't fall to your sold put, then you will be forced to buy at the put price but the underlying stock didn't drop to the lower strike price so you are just selling the stock at the market price after being put the stock. Your short put @ 150 and long put @ 145. Price ends at 147 and you are assigned @ 150. So you purchased 14,700 worth of stock for 15,000. So sell stock for 14,700 for your $300 (minus any premium received) loss on 1 contract. You can also close the position by buying back the short put before assigned but if do that before the assignment date, you are paying for the time left also.
Robinhood is closing my credit spreads before expiration making me lose on my trades. I can't hold until expiration.. I had a trade that was going to settle at $150 and they closed it early giving me a loss. Not cool on a small account.
What bout the wash loss Rule? Why close the option at a loss and reopen another one the same day? Can’t then claim the loss which means more taxes to pay.
@@-matthew yes it changes much lol. If you keep going in and out of the same option within 30 days you can’t use the loss to offset your gains. Meaning higher taxes. So it’s important.
apple probably isnt as good of an example to use right now. youre going to have people copying those suggestions you just made. apple earnings are gonna be reported after hours may 2nd.their price is gonna drop about $8-$10 on open may 3rd. all those 160 puts you were talking about are are gonna be ITM with a great risk of being early assigned. youre going to bankrupt some of those beginners youre trying to help.... at least thats my opinion and not financial advice
i stopped reading the second you said a stock is gonna drop $8-$10 on may 3rd (today is 4/22/24) a message to all beginners, if anyone tells you what a stock going to do on the earnings report just dont listen to them
😂 if somebody copies someone else's trade completely who is to blame? You only trade your skill level if a person chooses to make a trade it's their responsibility to dd no one else's. Just my take
Most people new to options will lose if you go down this guys path. There are ways to make money trading options but this is by far one of the worst routes to take.

“Not as safe as just selling a put.” What? A put credit spread is much safer than selling a put.
No selling a put or a call is the safest as you do not lose money.

do you need a cash account on robinhood or margin? to do put credit spreads
lets say you do roll your tesla position and it continues to go down.. does that mean you'll keep rolling? wont you just keep losing money or are you hoping the stock will go up and you'll collect that premium?

that is correct, closing the Put Credit Spread position is buying it back. This would close the existing position.

I'm favoured $130k every 4 weeks! I now have a good house and can afford anything and also support my family
If the market is going down a call credit spread may be better
If you're bullish on a stock or you think the market will move sideways then Put credit spread. Otherwise Call credit spreads on stocks you think will go down.
Henry thanks you're the best.
you can’t be a beginner and do this you need level 3 options
This is an issue that is ignored . What can a beginner do to qualify to trade simple put option strategies?

If assignment happen and I don’t have enough funds 🤔
Assignment between the two prices, how will the margin call look like then?
The lower priced put you sold is your risk management. That is why brokerage will keep the $500 for collateral per contract. If it closes in between the 2, then that is your risk amount. The price falls below the short position putting it ITM but doesn't fall to your sold put, then you will be forced to buy at the put price but the underlying stock didn't drop to the lower strike price so you are just selling the stock at the market price after being put the stock.
