    I started trading young, not understanding complicated options so I just didn’t use said options. I literally just bought stock and sold stock (not daily). I read newspapers, tried predicting price movements based on world events and other factors. My most profitable trade ever was buying a load of Lufthansa and American Airlines in mid march 2020 (when covid hit) and selling in march 2021. Check the graph to see how profitable the trade was.
    What I’m trying to say is that day trading may be more profitable if done correctly and consistently but long buys and other slower manouvers can be just as profitable and simpler to pull off. Be smart with your money and only listen to smart advice.

    • @rodrigorodriguez509

    The devil is also in the details of how you choose your straddle points, the risk each brings and if you're generating alpha. Also, imagine this strategy for Netflix recent earnings report which tanked the stock. I think more emphasis needed to be put into long term result of shorting IV.
    Can you also do a video about taxes that compares long term vs short term cap gains. Also, the impacts of wash sales.

    Haha, dude i tried a similar idea. I got the market chameleon free trial and they have earnings backtests on options strategies over 12 earnings calls. So I just sorted each strategy by highest sharpes ratio and was running really good. No risk mgmt. Just kept going all in. Then January came. Backtests basically said selling at the money put spreads on GS or JPM 2 weeks before earnings had an avg gain of 30% with it giving you an 8% return at the minimum. I also figured rising interest rates would be good for JPM. I think you can assume what happened. All in, -$60k😂. Maybe if I kept my sizings smaller and the same over a while, the backtests are a good strategy? Fuck it. Lambo or food stamps

    Probably the source of the apparent alpha in some strategies you discuss is just skewness. See e.g. 'Conditional Skewness in Asset Pricing Tests', C.R. Harvey et al, 2000. Higher skewness in return distributions leads to a documented risk premium. Anyway great content, love your vids:)

  • @evan448
    @evan448 2 года назад +2

    as I would under stand yes it would be profitable since your basically selling insurance contracts that say there will be no radical swing in stock price associated with earnings report beyond what the market has already predicted.
    this is like to be true in most cases because the market is pretty good at pricing things, and if they didnt straddles would consistently make money. the down side is is that it make be a small profit relative to the risk being taken - hence why the opportunity exist at all.
    one surprise earnings report later and youve found youve sold homeowners insurance to a house on fire

    As someone that is a quant at a large asset manager, i love these vids. Heres a bit of advice that holds true in 98% of all cases of options trading, *everything* is priced in.
    On avg quants make most of their money on options trades in low volume markets (just one example of the trades we normally do) because the markets are not efficient enough yet to price in the models we build. But that doesnt always hold, which is why our whole job involves finding new sources of alpha.

    I wanna make sure im understanding this strategy correctly so i can properly lose all my money using it in the future. You determine that theres a 23% difference in the average and implied move. So you bought calls and puts that were 12% above and below the strike price youre selling your straddle at to reduce your risk if IV does rocket.
