    Hey Mike, your B/E price on the last example for rolling down and out is incorrect. You received a net credit of $1.20 but your new strike is 55, making your B/E point $53.80, not $58.80

    Certainly could consider that, but if you get a reversal in the stock price you could take heat to the upside, where we didn't have risk before to the upside.

    Hi Mike. Thanks for the very informative video. If the stock price moves below the BE price prior to expiration, will the brokerage company automatically assign the stock position. This seems to be a fuzzy/grey area on when this actually occurs. Does the automatic assignment only happen on the day of expiration?

  • @tastyliveshow

    @tastyliveshow

    3 жыл бұрын

    It will not - assignment risk is based on extrinsic value, since the counterparty burns the extrinsic value in the position by converting it to stock, so as long as the ITM option has extrinsic value, it is not likely to be assigned. Even if it is assigned, risk doesn't change, you just get that extrinsic value immediately instead of waiting until expiration.

    Whatever the net credit is overall. If you sold the put for $1.00 and rolled out and down for $0.20 and it expired OTM, you'd make $1.20.

    What do you do If you still have 45 or 60 DTE, (meaning it goes against you FAST ) and goes past B/E point? Are you closing? Seems rolling out will put you out to far in time?

    I'm not necessarily doing anything, as long as the option still has a lot of extrinsic value. With a short put I'm ok with taking the shares, so I typically take a wait and see approach. If extrinsic value gets low, or if we get to ~21DTE, I'll roll at that point.

    If my initial risk is $100, and I continuously roll out in time, always using the same strike and always get net credit, then, with time, am I effectively creating a risk-free trade? i.e. I collect at least $100 in premium thru time

  • @tastyliveshow

    @tastyliveshow

    4 жыл бұрын

    In time, yes. Ultimately if you have the ABILITY to roll a short put forward forever regardless of where the stock is, you're just collecting extrinsic value and it adds up month over month. Over time, you can have a risk-free trade if you collect more than what buying 100 shares at your strike price is worth. That is why trading small is so effective when selling naked options - if you trade small and give yourself the ability to hold a trade forever, especially something like a short put, you give yourself a ton of time to be directionally right and also reduce basis over time. That's the key!

  • @chaz72987
    @chaz729872 жыл бұрын

    Seems way too stressful to chase a loser out another 35 days that has no chance of profitability. What if it continues to fall, lose more rolling again? Only way this works is if you roll when the put is being challenged, if it's already past your strike and has intrinsic value you're too late and just accept the loss... unless you like the stress of keeping tabs on an option for another 35 days that cannot be profitable.

    Selling a Put does NOT give you a RIGHT to buy stock. The right belongs to the PUT seller to sell you the stock at the strike price. BIG DIFFERENCE

  • @tastyliveshow

    6 жыл бұрын

    True - the right to early exercise belongs to the put buyer, but the risk doesn't change. As a put seller, once you are filled on the contract you have the notional equivalent to 100 shares of stock, so whether you have the contract or end up being assigned shares, nothing changes other than extrinsic value being removed when assigned, and the buying power increasing.

    The max loss is listed on the slides for these adjustments - the only adjustment that would induce more notional risk is the 2nd one - scaling into IV - this would require an additional put contract to be sold. The other ones result in realized losses, but offer the opportunity to wipe out those losses with the new trade. Additionally, they reduce the cost basis and therefore reduce the notional risk as it is still only 1 contract at risk, but an additional net credit is received which increases the overall net credit. If the trader is not comfortable with the initial risk of one sold put contract, then they should not get into the trade from the beginning.
