You are a great instructive I actually understood all the things you said with great examples. Thanks have been watching a lot of thing on option but not one as good as you sir!

[@RickOrford]

Wow, thank you!

[@bmurphy847]

Rick, Your training videos are great. Very well presented and easy to follow. I would say that your Options Trading videos are the best on KZbin. Thank you. I noticed that you asked another commenter about their favorite part of the video. for all of your videos: I believe that the fact that you cover the how to sell the option, how to select the ticker and the timing, and very importantly, how to adjust your position or close the trade to minimize the loss if the trade goes bad. Too many other videos gloss over the "how to save the trade" part. I think they skip this part as they are trying to sell the viewer on their training program.

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for the kind words. It’s interesting that as you say, many focus on “saving the trade”- If you sell the right options at the onset, saving the trade becomes far less of a thing. If there’s any topics you’d like me to cover, don’t hesitate to let me know!

[@bmurphy847]

@@RickOrford I would like to see a video on how to use and understand the Options Samurai. I am giving it a try, but there are terms and heading I don't understand. Thank you.

Sorry- I just saw this comment now. Stay tuned for later this month- I’ll do an intro to Options Samurai!

Thanks Rick .. so easy to understand

Hey Rick that was a Great Presentation about Put selling , The only thing I would like to add is that one can do a Bull Put spread to reduce the Margin obligation, and with that you would have to sacrifice some of the Premium collected.

[@RickOrford]

Yep, absolutely great point- and it’s one I’ve covered before! That said, I probably should have included it in this video. Noted for the next time!!

Great explanation of this options trading method. Very clear and concise. I started selling put options about 2 months ago and have been pleased with my results. After viewing your video, I gained a much better understanding of the process and reinforces and advances my success in continuing to incorporate options trading into my investment activities.

[@JeffHansen57]

All of the examples are with expensive stocks which have a higher premium which sounds great. But you would need to have 20,000-30,000 in capital set aside which not every beginner will have. And of course part of the risk is what you could have done with that idle 20k. All that said it was a very informative video. Would have been nice to see more examples with other expiration dates to see how the premium changes.

[@RickOrford]

Right- so quality stocks are often >$100, so you’ll need at least that * 100 of margin available to sell the option. In terms of how premiums change with expiration dates, look at an option chain for any expiry on any stock. Pick a strike price. Then change the expiry date. You’ll now be able to see the premium change for the same strike. Hope that helps! For more- feel free to join my community on discord!

@allensalamat6402 specific questions should be made here, so that everyone learns. However, if you’re looking for some one on one training, we can certainly discuss it!

[@alittlewalkinthewoods]

Hi Rick, are there any brokerages that pay interest on cash collateral being held when one sells a put (especially for contracts that don't expire for a long time)?

[@RickOrford]

IB most likely!

[@terifong9816]

[@RickOrford]

[@RickOrford]

[@dannytetreault]

[@personalwellnessservices5663]

Thank you.

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for watching! Any particular takeaway that you liked?

[@powerfulldavinciinvestment3367]

In your view, prior to earnings report (45days) would it be more profitable to buy a call of a stock ( poised to break up resistance levels) and then sell the call option near ( prior ) to the financial reports when the stock price is sky-rocketing.. ?

[@powerfulldavinciinvestment3367]

I like your explaining.

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for your kind words. If you’re expecting a stock to rise, selling a call spread is probably not the best solution. Rather, I’d want to own the stock outright. Barring that, I’d sell a put credit spread instead (bull put).

[@Ivabiggun2]

I am curious what is recommended for Put Option sales when you know the stock is going to sink like a rock?

[@RickOrford]

If you don’t have an open position, Don’t sell it in the first place. If the position is already open and the stock is falling, you can close it out, or roll down- or if there’s still lots of time, wait it out… sometimes these things happen. That’s why it’s a best practice to only sell puts on stocks you’d like to own.

[@Ivabiggun2]

@@RickOrford - Get it now. Just confused initially. Thanks for taking the time to explain in-depth.

[@RickOrford]

Of course! And don’t hesitate to join the group on discord- lots of q&a’s there!

[@terifong9816]

Rick, when selling put the underline security is about to get assigned, do I have to call the broker to get assigned or it’s automatically processed ?

[@RickOrford]

Assignment on short options is an automatic process. You’ll likely be notified should that happen.

[@terifong9816]

Appreciate so much!

[@walterhu3833]

a nice option course! by the way which is better; to let an option expires or buy to close?

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for the kind words. Option that’s expires worthless means you keep all the premium. If you “buy to close”, you’ll give up a little profit, but you’ll crystallize the gain.

[@walterhu3833]

[@anthonyakidi4872]

[@jonschlottig9584]

I prefer a lower premiums on a 1-2 week timeframe - less risk, more flexibility. Also, making 1% in a week is better than 4% in a month when you factor in the compounding.

[@RickOrford]

Absolutely correct. Greed eventually leads to losses in options trading.

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for liking!

[@rajeshmathew7924]

Hi Rick, its a very useful video!. Just a question. Do we read the delta of call options for its worthlessness the same way we do for puts? For calls its a positive value. So if the delta shows .83, does it mean 1-.83 which is 17% chance of worthlessness? Thank you!

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for the kind words and excellent question! To clarify, A -0.2 delta means there’s a ~20% chance it’ll expire in the money (and you’ll be assigned). Conversely, a -0.2 delta means there’s an 80% chance it’ll expire worthless- which is what you want. So, your -0.83 delta put means it’ll likely be assigned.

[@haroldsargent979]

thanks for your help, i got a question i have a fidelity account, selling a put what does break even mean on the trade ticket i don't understand it my sell-to-put call is below the break-even price?

[@RickOrford]

Thanks for watching! You wouldn’t set a break even price on the order. Rather, you’d pick the strike price and initiate a “sell to open” order- and select call/put, the stock, strike price, and expiration. And hope it expires worthless!

[@Yt-user65000]

The break even would be how much the underlying security would have to fall to eat up the entire premium you collected. If that happens, you not only forfeit the premium, you will also be assigned the 100 shares at the strike price for which you sold the put. Only sell puts on stocks you’re bullish on, long-term & only sell puts at strike prices you would be ok with paying for the underlying asset. On a positive note, you would be getting the 100 shares at a discount & you could then start selling covered calls and continue to generate income.

[@prairiepegger]

This was helpful to a beginner. I’m now wondering if my bank trading platform has this option

[@RickOrford]

Bank trading platforms are usually very rudimentary platforms for trading options. I’d consider Interactive Brokers instead.

[@andrewd9633]

$2290 in 34 days would be a great return. But it’s not worth the risk of being assigned $230,000 worth of Tesla stock.

[@RickOrford]

Right. That’s why we must always weigh the risks. Like, what are the chances TSLA goes to 0? Little. $10? $100? That’s the key.

[@u.w.sunitedwestand2117]

Lol right!

[@denko44]

That's why everyone weighs the risk for themselves. If it's too much pick a diff stock.

[@robotpanda77]

Not to mention you would need to have 230k in your account in cash which if you have that much you could just put it in a money market and make money without even looking at it

[@leginjones]

Math is wrong. 115000 is the right collateral you need

@RickOrford well I watched it too late and now tesla has gone up 6% so I need to move fast 🏃‍♀️ the only question I have is if I sell a leap put out 12mnths then how do i find out what the cost will be to buy it back later on 🤔 also if I do take profits early, say in July then I just buy to close out and accept whatever the price is then??

[@OneKeyRep]

@RickOrford I'm now watching your call options one to see which I should trade for tesla 😉 puts or calls or can I do both and test to see which gives more gain at the end? or can I see all this data before I try them both??

[@RickOrford]

@OneKeyRep there’s tons of opportunities outside Tesla. Have you looked at rickorford.com/samurai ?? You can find tons of opportunities for income there.

[@OneKeyRep]

@RickOrford as a newbie to options trading which platform would you say is easier to understand and place orders and close them since I'm from the 🇬🇧 UK? webull is commission free but there are a few others that u need to pay I think like tastyworks thinkorswim interactive brokers, pity we have robinhood but no options trading available yet 🫤 I guess the question is which platform allows a trader to automate when they want to exit a trade on % profit taking ie. if I enter a trade and once it reaches 50-60% profits then then it exits my trade for me.

[@laughuntilyoucryordie]

I think IT IS TIME for someone to open the OPTIONS door for smaller investors! There should be the option to buy or sell puts & calls on a 25 shares or 50 shares contract bases, not just on 100 shares! More individuals with less capital in their accounts could then start trading options. There was a day when stock investing was only for the RICH. But someone eventually opened that door to small investors when the opportunity came that allowed lower income individuals the chance to purchase FRACTIONAL shares of stock. This changed the market landscape and brought in more $$ than ever before! Now IT IS TIME to change the options market by opening the door for those smaller investors.🎉
