Very informative and helpful. Do you Roll the Cash Secured Put to avoid assigning?
Thanks and yes I will do that occasionally to avoid assignment.
IB platform is archaic. Doing the analysis and making the subsequent adjustments is 1000X easier on tastytrade platform.
Yes, they haven't updated their platform for a long time. They are making a lot of effort on their mobile app currently. I never loved TastyWorks, but haven't looked at it for a few years, so maybe I will take another look.
thanks for the video, keep them coming please, IB platform can be very confusing sometimes
Thanks will do.
Thanks a lot Sir!
You're very welcome.
how do you know if a gamma exposure is positive or negative? i mean how can you know if the asset manager are long or short the option?
There are services you can subscribe to that will give you that data.
If I'm selling a DITM CC that has -.94 delta and the IV is 300%, the div isn't till aug and the contract expires in 18 days, are these good indicators? The break even is actually above the current stock price too. The only thing I have concerns is the bid-ask spread is not great, but the mark price is still good premium, but. I'd have to play with that in hope of getting it filled.
Sounds like an interesting scenario. I would be a little bit careful of anything with IV that high, it's probably that high for a reason.
Those free vids are better than other people's 197$ courses. But the video description could use some work, this reads too much ChatGPT-ish.
Another way to use DITM call options is a replacement for high dividend income stocks. You get downside protection unlike high dividend stocks. I have reviewed a number of high dividend stocks and very, very few outperform an SP500 index stock for total return over time.
Can you show an example?
I think you want an example of downside protection and not a comparison of a high dividend stocks to a SP500 index stock. So, let’s look at the APPL data I set earlier for the $150.00 strike price. First, I want to say the downside protection is incorrect as I copied the wrong column from my spreadsheet. With that said, subtract the strike price of $150.00 from the stock purchase price of $191.92 and that equals $41.92. To get the downside protection percent divide this difference $41.92 by the purchase price of $191.92 and that is .218. To get percent multiply .218 times 100 and that equals 21.8%. The breakeven point is when the purchase price less the option premium and less the dividends is reached. Hope this is what you wanted.
@@user-kx4bq5sy8h Thanks
I calculated the deep in the money calls for AAPL from today 05/28/24 to the 12/20/24 for 2 periods of dividends. I would have waited until it was closer to first x-dividend date for better returns but this is just a real example. The annual returns shown are what you would receive if someone exercised the option on these dates. These were calculated using the average bid and ask price. You want the stock to be taken otherwise you won’t make as much or loss money. Dividend Date Strike 1st Last 12/20/24 Down Side Protection $130 14.3% 6.8% 5.9% 14.3% $140 17.7% 8.3% 7.1% 17.7% S150 19.5% 9.1% 7.7% 19.5% $160 22.0% 10.2% 8.5% 22.0% $170 26.0% 12.0% 10.0% 23.1%
Is that graph the only tool you use to make these DITM covered call decisions? If not, it would be nice to see the thought process in a real trading scenario. I have yet to see anyone do this on YT TBH. Maybe because it's the magician showing his tricks? LOL! I don't know. I'm learning all this currently myself and YT suggested your video. Also, up till now, I've learned that covered calls are a strategy for making more money on a stock you expect to go up in value anyway (over a decent amount of time) and if it doesn't, you can still make money, until it does. And if the price slips too much, you should be exiting the stock early and hopefully the CCs have covered any losses. Or, if you are long on the stock, just work covered calls like on a monthly basis or weekly, if you can invest the time, during your "wait" for the stock to go higher again. I've never heard of covered calls being THE strategy and reason for buying a stock. So, I'm sort of wondering what is right or wrong now. Because, in the end and as I see it, covered calls on a stock is a trading strategy on a longer term investment in a stock. So, I'm leaning towards buy stocks for why you want to buy stocks as an investment (longterm) and use covered calls to generate more money off that investment. The other reason is because, I've learned there is a 100% trading strategy, the call debit spread, which with the same "bullish" intentions on a stock, you can trade options with a lot less invested capital, and thus make a much greater ROI than with covered calls (obviously with higher risk). So, if I didn't want to buy a stock for a long term investment, I'd go with the call debit spread. I think..... 🤔😁
I do these deep in the money calls all the time and here are a few things to review for better returns. 1) Both stocks with and without dividend can be used. 2) If dividend stocks are used, buy near and before the first X-dividend date and sell after the last dividend date for the time period chosen. 3) Since the stock may be called at any time the annual returns should be checked at 3 different locations. At first dividend date and this return should be at least the annual dividend yield. At the last dividend date and this should be an annual yield you want. At the date the option expires and this again this should be an annual yield you want. This yield may be higher or lower than the last dividend date. 4) For any option make sure to compare several strike prices. Also compare the percent down from the purchase price to the strike price. By comparing these two this will give you a risk reward for the different strikes.
Very good advice.
I just started doing these in May24 with the options purchased out to Dec 24 / Jan 25 with the intent to sell an option each month going forward. Have you done any detailed videos on such a strategy?
No videos yet, but I will do one at some point. This written article might be of interest though - optionstradingiq.com/poor-mans-covered-call/
@@optionstradingiq Looking forward to a video. I'll read the article. Thanks
@@coreycorey9611 You're welcome.
Thanks for the video, it was very thorough and helpful.
Glad it helped you. email me any time with questions.
If the underlying stock price rises significantly, how does rolling the CC further out help? 4:15 It would seem that extending the contract expiration would only increase the probability of assignment by allowing _even more_ time for the stock price to rise.
In the long-term maybe. In the short-term, rolling out in time will mean the call has more time premium which makes it less likely to be assigned early. When rolling out in time, you can also roll the strike price up.
Hi In order to implement this strategy one needs to put BOTH a maximum price on the purchase price for the 100 stocks AND put a minimum price for the sell of the call option. How can I give both of these price limits (minimum for the sell and maximum for the buy) in a way that either both are executed or both are not executed (I don't want to buy the stock if I cannot sell the call option for the the minimal price and I don't want to sell the call option if I cannot buy the stock cheap enough)?
Most brokers will allow you do to it as a single Covered Call trade. I'll try and do a video to show you how to to it in IBKR.
@optionstradingiq That would be great! Please do. Really looking forward to it! 🙏
Interesting approach. I may try $ORCL to see how this works out.
Let me know how it goes. Feel free to email me info(at)optionstradingiq.com
Clear, concise & actionable.Gavin you are great teacher improving lives of many people !
Thank Vikram!
Very good content. Thanks so much ❤!
You're welcome.
Fantastic Sandra thank you!! If you ever do one similar to this but using a PUT for a downside move or maybe using the Price Rsistance or Price Support bars instead of trend lines that woud be good too. I think i can just reverse the process and it will work but in case there's soemthng else to be aware of.
Thanks for the greatg vid.

Likewise. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for you comment. It's been great to see you progress these last few months.
Would a spread been more conservative but probably less “profitable?
Yes, spreads are definitely a more conservative way to play it. Buying the protection does cost a little bit, but also reduces your margin requirement. So it depends if you're doing it for just a "trade" or if you are doing it more as an investment, and happy to take ownership of there shares.
@@optionstradingiq you do an awesome job!!! I have taken a couple of 3-4 week seminars of yours it has been a big help!

What would be impact on other Greeks theta vega & What if market moves sharply in other direction.Could you please give some insight How to handle it..
If that market rallies, you would lose on your delta hedge but make money on your long delta positions. I would set a point at which I would remove or adjust the hedge.
Hi one of your follower from India. New perspective however looks highly risky & timely adjustments would play a crucial role.
I would not say highly risky at all. It is less risky that stock ownership and should experience lower volatility of returns.
Very interesting the notion to hedging a position with a different asset no correlated
It's never going to be perfect because correlation isn't 100%. But for example, if you have a lot of tech stocks, you might be better using QQQ for the hedge.
Thx for the video! If you would have a Delta Dollar position of 30 000/500= 60. Would you recommend buying 4 puts Delta 15 or any other combination? Thx!
Yes that would make sense.
Great video Thanks.

Hi Gavin! I can’t private mentoring related info in your website. Do you by any chance do that ?
I'm not offering private mentoring at the moment, only group coaching.
@@optionstradingiq okay thanks for the response 🙏
Can you use a DITM covered call for dividend capture? Let’s say the stock is at 40, pays a dividend of .30 and you sell a DITM covered call with an extrinsic of .15, you can collect those .15 because the buyer of the call will exercise to collect the dividend. You only need to hold the stock on the ex dividend date and you can get assigned very quickly. I know these numbers are made up, but I think the principle would work. Have you ever tried this?
Haven't tried it, but in theory it could work. I don't think there would be much edge though, because all the big funds would already be doing this if there were good returns to be made.
Interesting concept Gavin. Do you hold these to expiration and let the shares get called away?
Generally, yes. But if there is still a while to go and very little extra profit remaining, I might close it out early, or roll up the call.
Very interesting but I had a hard time following the entry template. Do you have another explanation ot this trade elsewhere?
Yes, you can read more here - optionstradingiq.com/pre-earnings-option-strategy/
Hello do you run a discord community?
Yes, but it's not open at the moment. If you're on my email list you will get notified when it opens.

You're welcome
Could we have a review of the import function?
@optionstradingiq in which cases is it better to hedge via underlying, vs adjustment of IC? Adjustment if IC will entail higher TX cost, but buying/selling underlying will entail lock up of more capital. Thx!
Yes, using the stock can tie up a lot of capital. I tend to hedge with the stock when the short strike of my Condor is above significant resistance or below significant support. If I'm comfortable with my IC levels, then I will defend those positions (via a hedge) rather than adjust. Hope that helps.
I always had trouble using this strategy. At start the pnl curve is similar to synthetic long, so if the underlying has not moved in your favour then you end up with huge mark to market losses. Is there a low cost adjustment possible in such a situation??
You really shouldn't have large losses if the stock hasn't moved much.
@@optionstradingiq let me rephrase my question. How to adjust the position if the underlying has moved against the initial prediction?
@@AJ-sf6oi You could take a stop loss if the stock is down 8%, or you could let the put get assigned and turn it into a covered call. I don't think there's too many fancy adjustment techniques for this strategy. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
