[@hamilton7012]

Khalid - If you don't mind, please expand on your hedging strategy, buy the credit spread, sell a far OTM put. How far out are you going on the credit spread? Same on the put? How many delta's on each? Nice interview, ignore the haters. I too initially thought the arms on the sides of the couch was interesting, but I chalked it up to nerves. Good luck in your future trading and career.

[@khalidheba2095]

Hey I hate to sound vague but I honestly switch it up depending on market conditions (price and vol levels) and my overall portfolio delta. If I have long delta exposure I will buy a wide debit spread and sell a really far OTM put with about half the deltas to cut the cost of the debit spread. Right now I have on the 4450/4250/3500 spread in /ES all the way December. I consider this a hedge against near term vol even tho it does not work in a crash scenario. Sometimes I will do the trade for a credit and be long delta as well.

[@hamilton7012]

Thanks for the reply. Are you buying the spread at the same expiration date as the put you are selling, or are you adding time between expirations? And if you are, roughly how far out are you going?@@khalidheba2095

[@khalidheba2095]

Upon entry all 3 legs are in the same cycle, however most of the time these trades are in that 21-45 day range. The longer duration ones like the example I provided allows me to sell the naked put extremely far OTM and still collect a decent credit while hedging against near term market decline. I get short deltas for relatively cheap and have a relatively high probability of making money on both the put spread and the naked put. Keep in mind if the market crashes in the near term the naked put will be a big loser so size accordingly. Hope this helps.@@hamilton7012

For newbies, I recommend caution in selling naked options. Its too risky

[@sanbetski]

[@johanneswildauer2972]

isn't selling uncapped variance or picking up pennies in front of the convexity steamroller a recipe for disaster? selling those tails is easy and works until.. well.. it doesn't. sharpe is high and no need to pick direction sure but whats your game plan when all the 0dte strangle selling causes next volmageddon? sitting it out? :) also why not selling naked vix calls or uvxy? being short vol and having vol drag and beta slippage work in your favor?

[@overhansable]

If you have a decent size portfolio and mostly sell strangles, you can force your wins quite a bit. For example when your calls get challenged you just sell more calls with a higher strike price and roll up the puts a little. As long as you stay small enough at the beginning, you can abuse the martingale strategy quite a bit. No rule against it in option selling ;) . At he end, if you are good, its more like picking up 100$ bills in front of a steamroller and with experience you can dodge the stream roller or at least survive it and have enough money collected to pay a world-class surgeon that patches you back together, so you can continue... Another real edge with naked options are calls on meme / pump trash like DJT or RDDT recently. Because of the garbage fundamentals and high volatility nature of such IPOs you can (after the initial 2-3 day pump, when it starts selling off) sell far out of the money calls that decay extremely fast for a decently high premium.

[@wojciech-kulik]

I've been trading the Tasty method for about a year. I've got my ass kicked at times, but it's like "success by 1000 paper cuts". Some big losers wipe out a lot of small winners. But in the end, returns are positive. I'm in a $70k margin account and use up to 50% of my buying power. Mostly trade strangles, spreads, and diagonals. I'm up 50% return YTD. If you follow the rules and don't get too emotional, the returns are real.

I don't know about going undefined at a 30 or 40 delta unless you want to put on stop losses at 60% or 80% of position value. Going defined at a 30 or 35 delta would allow you to scale up as less margin is required. Also I don't know about seeking for vol/premium across the global markets. If its something you aren't familiar in what drives the underlying the more likely the trade will not go in your favor.
