Thank you for the video! One question, if I may. There are calls for Tesla which are 600 usd higher than current price though expiration is just 5 days away. They are fully extrinsic value. There is almost not chance for price to get there. So it is obvious short to benefit from time decay, I’m just trying to figure out where is the catch? It looks too easy to short those calls as they become worthless in 5 days, though price is 3-5 usd

Please bear (lol) with me as I am fairly new to options. I have been profitable so far but made a mistake and want to potentially create spread to minimize loss. Background: I bought a call option for a stock that I thought was going up, but the company delayed service due to COVID so now it is going down after shooting up. It is a cruise line (CCL). I think it will go back up, but at a later date. * Current price: $16 * Strike Price for Call Option Bought: $20 * Strike Price for Call Option Looking to Sell: $17.5 * Expiration date: 7/17/20 Questions: 1) Can I (2 days later) sell a call option at a lower strike price to create a spread and minimize my potential losses? 2) If so, what is the best way to close the spread? Should I wait at expiration or close out by reversing what I did before expiration? I am just trying to minimize my losses at this point. I don’t think the stock will plummet down, but I do think it will not reach my long strike price anytime soon. 3) should I close them out at the same time or separately? How do I determine the net price to close out if I bought the options separately and want to close out together? Should I calculate the net credit received and base of that? Ideally, I want to close these options and minimize losses as much as possible rather than holding it so I can just move on. Really appreciate any feedback or suggestions!!!!!

Are you using IBKR? I am confused about their system. If I want to "sell to open a bear call", I choose the legs accordingly and then I have negative bid-ask prices, negative mid-price and for entering a limit net credit, I also have to put a negative value. Is this normal? And then I am prompted to choose for this combo: a buy order or a sell order. Should it be sell order if I sell to open a bear call spread?

You could, but the b/e is ONLY applicable at expiration. It doesn't really mean anything before expiration. If there's 30 days to expiration and the stock is at your b/e, your position will not necessarily have a $0 p/l.

@@IMChrisThom The breakeven is the price at which the options in the spread will have net intrinsic value equal to your entry price. If I buy the 150/160 call spread for $2.33, then the breakeven is $152.33 because at expiration, the 150 call will have $2.33 of intrinsic value and the 160 call will have $0.00 of intrinsic, leaving the spread with a value of $2.33. Before expiration, the options will have lots of extrinsic value, which means the price of the spread will not be the same as the net intrinsic value in the spread. Net intrinsic value = Intrinsic value in the long option - intrinsic value in the short option

Do you advise to enter a stop loss within the actual bear call spread to exit the trade if it starts going the wrong way
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 4 жыл бұрын
You can certainly use one. I would personally use one if you are selling a spread with way more risk than reward. For instance, if you collect $1.50 in premium for a $10-wide spread, you have $150 to make and $850 to lose. I'd probably close this spread before the maximum loss, but I'd have a trigger for when I take the loss. It could be a literal price level, such as $5.00 on the spread ($350 loss at that point), or it could be closing the spread when the stock price gets to a certain price, such as the strike price of the short call. You can make up whatever rules make sense to you.

Thank you! Yes, there could be a scenario in which you do that. Particularly if the spread is pretty much worthless (both options have little value). You can definitely close the short call and let the long call ride just in case something crazy happens and the stock shoots up. I wouldn't recommend closing out the short call if the long call still has plenty of value though, otherwise you are completely changing the outlook of the position and will lose money if the stock doesn't increase quickly.

@projectfinance
@projectfinance 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! It's based on preference and what you're doing. If you are making a spread trade based on the stock price remaining below a certain price, a bear call spread (selling a call spread) would probably be better than buying an in-the-money put spread. They are technically the same strategies when using the same strikes. Example: Stock is at $100 and you think it will stay below $105 over the next 14 days. Bear Call Spread: sell the 105 call and buy the 110 call in the 14-day cycle Bear Put Spread: Buy the 110 put and sell the 105 put in the 14-day cycle Both of the above trades will have very similar risk/reward as they are synthetically the same thing. However, in this case I'd choose the bear call spread as the options are all out-of-the-money and you'll avoid potential problems with assignment since the spread is near expiration. If you bought the 110 put and sold the 105 put, your short 105 put is $5 in-the-money and will rapidly lose its extrinsic value over the next couple weeks as expiration approaches. You might get assigned on the in-the-money short put on one of the days immediately before expiration since the short put is in-the-money and will have very little extrinsic value by then. In short -- they are the same strategies if using the same strikes but I'd always sell spreads when you think the stock price will remain within a certain price, and I'd buy spreads when I think the stock is going to make a move in a certain direction.

@@gregoryfield8884 Yes, so you get assigned, your account the next day will show -100 shares, and +$10,000 (you SOLD them, remember)... you'd then buy back the shares to cover your short stock position with the $10,000 + $500 out of pocket. So you're down $500. But your MAX loss in this example is $10 (difference between the strikes) x 100 = $1000. So you'd only lose half your max loss if the stock went to $105. (yes, there's assignment fees/the money you got for the premium which will take a small chunk out of what you're down, but easier to stick with round numbers.)

Something is not clicking for me. I am not understanding why the loss potential has a cap. Specifically because we are shorting a call. But the stock price can increase indefinitely, so there is an indefinite loss you might realize when you have to pay to cover your short (lets pretend we have no exit triggers.) Yes the call option price will go up as well in that situation but we can't know how much that stock will go up, nor be sure of what the profit from the long call will be less the loss from the short call. .....right? I must be missing something obvious....
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 3 жыл бұрын
Because you're buying another call above the short call. If you short the 100/105 call spread and the stock goes to $1,000, the short 100 call will be worth $900 but the 105 call you own will be worth $895. The spread's value will therefore be $5.00.
