Thanks for the kind words! We do disagree with your last statement on charts a bit though. As neutral option premium sellers we can argue we don't even need to look at a chart to open and close our trades. Everything we need to make decisions can be found from the option chain! We like to say we are trading the probabilities and statistics from an option chain, rather than the opinions and emotions of a stock chart.

Best videos so far in explaining options. However, when discussing changes in Greeks value you keep referring to "point" changes but don't you mean "dollar" changes? There is a difference from a change in point vs. a change in dollar? You seem to go back and forth with these descriptions.

robinhood has an extra greek, Rho. what is that?

Can someone please help me out, I am abit lost. Why does the delta in the SPX example is so high at 8.98. At the start the of the video the example raised was that delta was 0.47 and that every point the underlying stock increase it the value of the option will increase by 47cents and that if we own 1 contract we would make $47. Does that mean that in the SPX example if I had 1 contract of SPX and SPX goes down by 1 point I would make $898 on the option?

I have a question that's confusing me if anyone knows the answer, I know a contract represents 100 shares of the underlying stock(usually), so if the Delta is 2.00 and the stock goes up a point would it affect the P/L 2x100 for each share(up $200) or would it just change by $2. And the same question applies for all the other Greeks to.

@juxta5824

2 жыл бұрын

It would change by $2 as it is reflective of the number of shares you are long or short of the underlying market

Confused. How does theta be positive and earn money as time passes? when value of option should drop as the expiry draws closer.

Confused about the difference between gamma and delta. So if the stock goes up one point the delta goes up to whatever the delta says. But is that only on the first point raise? If it raises another point then the delta raises to whatever the gamma estimates? I know it’s all probabilities. Hope that question made sense

@skyviewtrading

3 ай бұрын

Hello! Yes I think the question makes sense. Keep in mind there are many moving parts that are changing with every second the market is moving, but we can generalize what is going on. We start at a certain delta and gamma number. With every 1 point rise in the stock the delta number will change, and the gamma number is telling you the rate at which delta would change. Once the stock is 1 point higher the options will show different delta and gamma numbers and the process restarts. However, in reality the process is continually running with every second the market is moving and changing delta/gamma amongst other greeks. While these things can be fun to "geek out" on a bit try not to overthink it too much! When we are actually trading, we pay little attention to diving into the greeks like this on every trade. The option greeks just need to be understood from a broad picture view, so don't let them stress you out too much! Keep on moving forward and learning more!

Can they be used to filter and find good options to trade? Anyone knows any tools or guide lines on how to use Options Greeks for entering a trade either long or short? Kind of what values to look for in each or all of them to enter or exit a trade?

Also I thought in 1 options contract it consist of 100 shares. Why in the example @11:35 that by longing 50 share and the price goes up by 1 point = delta being 50

Hey, cheers for the educational videos... but aren't you explaining 'Vega' the wrong way round... shouldn't a Vega of '0.1' imply that, if said options price increases by $0.10 then implied volatility would increase by 1%, rather than the other way around as you described.. ?

@skyviewtrading

Жыл бұрын

Hello, and thanks for the kind words! Nope, your explanation is a bit backwards there. Vega is the Greek that measures an option's sensitivity to implied volatility. It is the change in the option's price for a one-point change in implied volatility. Similar to how delta is the change of an options price for a one-point move in the stock's price. Hopefully that helps!

In the last video, you explained that time decay is always working against us because the extrinsic value goes down. Here you mentioned time decay (Theta) is working FOR us, but you didn't explain how or why

which greeks stay constant throughout the life of the contract?

@skyviewtrading

Жыл бұрын

Hello! None -- they move as the price of the stock and volatility of the stock moves. The most important being delta, gamma, theta, and vega. Or in "English" we could say direction, directional sensitivity, time, and volatility respectively!

if a 1 dollar price movement in the stock price correlates with delta why does the option have a breakeven point in order to make a profit. If the stock moves 1 dollar and delta is 0.7, you would have made a 70 dollar profit, why does the stock need to move 10, 20 percent to begin making money? Why does the stock have a breakeven point? The underlying option premium would have moved 0.7 in this case, but since 1 contract is 100 shares you would have made a 70 dollar profit.

Wait, an index isn't tradable? Since when?? I've been trading the ES, NQ, YM & RTY indexes for many years!

i didin't understand how would you lose money if the stock price is going up, did you bought a put that spx would go down? is that it?

@skyviewtrading

Жыл бұрын

Hello! The example showed buying 100 shares of stock and also buying 1 put option. The put option can be thought of as a "hedge." When you buy a put you are betting the price of the stock will go down. Your risk is limited to what you pay for the put. In the example we purchased the put for $500. We assumed that expired worthless and we lost the $500. However, we made $700 on the +100 shares of stock we owned. That's a net profit of $200. Hopefully that helps!

Hello! You are correct that losing $8.98 on an option trade would be an $898 loss per contract traded. At that point we were talking about what we lost on the option trade, rather than what that translated to in dollars lost in the account. Hopefully that makes sense!
