Options Trading Blunders: I always win eventually if I keep rolling my short puts down, right? (#5)

Doesn't the covered call technically always win? As far as trades go, you keep the money you get as long as you stay till expiration, right? I understand the stock can still go down further that the premium paid, but the actual money made from the sale of the call is yours no matter what, right?

[@sethfreudberg4750]

@@justicewatch4602 Hi JJ, there is a difference between "receiving cash" and "making money". You are right, the covered call will ALWAYS provide you with cash that you keep forever. But the covered call trade loses money if the stock that you bought goes down more than the premium you received for the call. You can always spend the cash you get from selling the covered call, but what good does that do you if the stock you own goes down hugely in the process.....

What is completely INSANE, (your word, 8:24 time stamp), is presenting the argument that people actually sell MORE puts, when rolling, to compensate for the loss of the in the money put. No one else, that I know of, teaches people to raise the number of puts sold to compensate for the loss of the original deep in the money put. The method you present, in this video (7:38 time stamp), resembles the Martingale betting strategy. WHO DOES THAT? I'll bet that you don't teach that in the trader education courses either. The way to roll down your strike, and STILL make a profit, WITHOUT increasing your capital at risk, is as follows: 1) buy to close, the one, ITM put contract, at a loss. 2) sell to open, ONE new ITM put contract, with a strike price that is ONE strike price lower, and with a farther away expiration, FAR ENOUGH AWAY, to earn a credit, that is LARGER than the cost of buying to close, the old put. This results in a NET CREDIT, a PROFIT. AND, you actually REDUCE the capital at risk, because you have the same number of puts, but at a lower strike price. Continuing to roll the ONE put contract, down one strike price at a time, at each new expiration, for a net credit, WILL eventually bring the strike price down to the current stock price, and the put can expire OTM. When that last put in the long campaign, expires worthless, all the accumulated net credits, become REALIZED profit. Knowledge IS power, ONLY if you apply that knowledge. A rolling put, gathers no loss.

[@kamran6336]

You need not roll down. Instead, roll out in time at the same strike price. You'll collect insane credit. I was in a TSLA trade for three months and it worked wonderfully.

[@beLIEve77]

Then it wouldn't be a Trading Blunder, would it?

[@rogergeyer9851]

Yes, that can work. But there are limits to that, and the market can keep going against you for a LONG time, especially in a single volatile stock. And you can roll down AND out, but there are limits to how long that works well. At SOME point, you either need to be willing to take a loss, or buy the stock, when the market makes an outsized move in a stock when you're selling volatility and not protecting yourself with a good hedge. That's why I trade SMALL, even with a very decent sized account, to prevent from getting into such a mess where it HURTS in the first place.

[@chevon1920]

This video is confusing, why would you sell more puts at a lower strike for the same expiration instead of selling the same number of puts for a different date? You can make the difference up with time and keep the same capital requirement.

[@roberttarrant7646]

In this example rolling out on the calendar brings you into LEAP category or beyond to infinity. If you have the capability on your trading platform, try it. Selling time premium has limit @chevon1920

This is merely to stay cash flow positive. You need to increase the number of puts so that the gain on the trade at the lower strike price is greater than the loss incurred at the higher strike price. 11:10

Roll down the strike price so if it does keep going down you’ll get assigned at less

[@rogergeyer9851]

@@JenMarco: Which is fine as long as you want to be assigned at some point. The problem is some people get greedy, trade too large, and don't want the stock when things really go against them. Then, if they didn't have a proper hedge (which is a HUGE no-no, IMO), at SOME point they likely need to take the loss if they don't have the capital to buy the underlying stock (and if they're trading too large, they may not, without taking too much risk re diversification, etc).

[@MathSolutionsForYou]

I usually find your videos balanced, informative and helpful for anyone who is trading or interested to learn more about trading. In this video, I did not understand why someone would increase the number of contracts while rolling down short puts --- perhaps I am missing something here but that strategy makes no sense. If one has to roll short puts for a trade that's turned unfavorable, rolling them down or even keeping the strike same but extending them further out in time should work just as well to give time for the trade to be profitable---it wont impact the capital requirement at all, or in fact even bring down the capital requirement esp if the strike price is lowered a bit.

[@chris52000]

You have to sell more contracts as the open positions are already going to be at a hefty loss when it comes time to roll. So you have to buy back those puts for a hefty loss and then sell more, cheaper puts to recoup the loss.

Remember the context. It was presented as a BLUNDER, NOT as a good strategy. I've seen a number of comments claiming he's teaching rolling into more options like that and he's NOT. I think I saw one of these videos (re the title. I haven't watched them all yet) talks about why it's a blunder not to have HEDGES vs. just accept all the loss, despite the fact that the hedges cost real money. If that's the CASE, I SUSPECT the advice will be DON'T sell options with NO hedge, which prevents any such snowball in the first place (if you have the self discipline to take the occasional loss when selling short options. i.e. don't trade them naked, but as spreads to avoid potential catastrophe.) Blowing your account up is NOT an acceptable risk, to trade professionally / as a business.

In the scenario I would keep the short puts and sell calls and keep rolling them down with the market. Wouldn't touch the puts. Would keep the inverted strangle on until 21 dte and then roll out the whole trade to the next month. This reduces Delta risk and minimizes gamma risk.

This strategy works great at the casino. Just keep doubling down on red, it has to hit eventually. What could possibly go wrong?

[@rdefacendis]

Never roll down.... always roll out to the next month or week if you must roll - and don’t increase the number of contracts when you do. That increases your risk. always roll for a net credit with the same number of contracts. But here is another tidbit that perhaps Seth might have pointed out for a retail trader... never make unlimited risk index option trades... always use bull put spreads if you are bullish.... that define your risk and dramatically reduce margin requirements.

[@sethfreudberg4750]

Rick, all good points. these videos are done for the entire spectrum of options traders--newbies to advanced traders. So I can't bring up every wrinkle in every video. I try to focus on one point that can be clearly understand and let the viewer then apply the principles in broader ways.

[@Rikity]

I agree. I dont sell anything naked though. If my spread goes underwater I consider waiting if I have time, expanding the spread width by rolling my long side out one strike if I have time and I think its a short term move. If it looks like a longer term event, I might widen the spread and send it out a couple months and let itself work out on its own and re-evaluate.

[@cmukesh19]

This video is wrong on several fronts. Although the idea is correct, but it was extremely exaggerated. 1. What advantages you have to roll just because it went down delta 30. I could easily wait for the trade to work in my favour till the expiry date. 2. On expiration, if my trade is near the the strike (still a looser), I could just roll in time exactly the same quantity (no additional margin and at least some time value). If the assumption is that index will return at some point, this strategy will never loose. It might take time. Plus, if our strike is deep ITM, very little time value might be available. So the sold option work more like a future. 3. If for whatever reason, we decide to move the strike down, I will do it on last day and also carefully choose enough time so that we don’t need to do this again. This video have been much more realistic in case of calls. Technically there is no guarantee that index will ever return to a given point down, this rolling up is much more sensible (and risky and terribly bad idea).

[@praveenhmmm]

Why roll for the same expiration date ? If we roll it to the next month we can sell exactly the same num of options for may be even a small credit there by not increasing the option requirement. By rolling to the next month we can also buy some time to be directionally correct.

[@calicorex8014]

I was just thinking the same thing. Not all trades can be rolled. But rolling can be profitable if you are able to roll for a credit while maintaining the same risk exposure. It's rare to roll to the same expiration and still be able to satisfy this requirement. I suppose he needed the money by valentine's day so extending the trade is not an option? lol

[@praveenhmmm]

@@calicorex8014 Yeah spreads are difficult to roll unless there's a huge upside move in the IV. Naked options can be rolled easily for credit.

[@JayeHK]

I'd love for Seth to comment on this strategy (of rolling out to a later expiry date). I see the point of buying more time and possibly taking in additional credit premium (although sometimes it's a debit). But basically you are entering a new trade that you would not otherwise do today, and doing so because of your stubborn commitment to probabilities (expressed in the delta of the original sold options) that are now out of date. It requires a religious commitment to random walk and the non-existence of trend and hence the expectation that price will revert.

[@sethfreudberg4750]

Praveen that could work although the devil would be in the details.

[@CapAnson12345]

It all sounds like a market version of the Martingale strategy.

[@justicewatch4602]

It is, but the Martingale strategy works in certain situations. This is where backtesting comes into play. Support and resistance is a real thing, because a majority of traders are not willing to buy or sell at certain prices of stocks they want or own. Same goes for housing prices. You are not going to pay 1 million for a 8k shack. Say you are watching Facebook stock, and notice breaking news that Russians have been hacking its servers and stole data. You acted fast and sold 2 out of the money call spreads with fat premiums as the stock plummeted. Bot one back to leave the other one to decay fully. The stock stops going down, goes sideways as uncertainty sets in, but then shoots up a little, but takes days to do this. The buyer get hurt, the sellers get hurt, but your call spread just keeps decaying and paying you everyday. Another example where Martingale can work: You bet that the 49ers are going win at least once next year. The odds are in your favor, but you would need a Martingale type system to guaranteed a profit. Understand? Options are so cool. `

Options are simply nice because they are more capital efficient than stocks and when you sell them you can combine that efficiency with a higher probability of profits in both short and long term results.

What a bizarre example. 1) if you had 255K of capital to write cash covered naked puts, why are you needing to write a put? 2) Ever heard of defining your risk? Think that might be a good idea when you're capital commitment is a quarter of a million dollars? 3) Roll forward, not down, or do both. At 10:03 the same 2040 Sept 4th put premium is $22.55, and the 2020 is at $16.50 which would pay off the August 28th premium at $16.25. So the lesson kids is a) define your risk, especially if your risk in the position is more than 5% of your portfolio, b) don't over-leverage, c) there's more than one way to roll your puts.

Anybody who makes trades like these deserves to lose all there money!!! Factz!!!

This is all pretty useless as it all derives from a very basic fact which is there is no such thing as free money on wall street. It really doesn't matter what the strategy is, unless you have a real edge about something, you can start out with the very basic fact that you in fact will lose.

[@sethfreudberg4750]

Cheznikos we have a floor full of traders here at SMB that have real edge and earn very nice livings by trading with that edge.

[@cheznikos]

@@sethfreudberg4750 That's good to hear. So you can talk about that maybe instead. Focusing on avoiding mistakes is the wrong way to learn anything. You will never see the end of the list of those mistakes. Even if the list was finite, and say you learn how to avoid all of them, you will still not be making money anyway, not even mentioning you'd be completely paralyzed.

@@cheznikos YOu must be dreaming that people are going to give away their edge especially to a shady character.

[@cheznikos]

@@ricomajestic I never expected them to give out real edges. However this is the wrong way to learn by focusing on avoiding mistakes.

@@cheznikos Mistakes made by others do teach you a lot!
