@InvestwithHenry When you say "credit" and "debit" spread, call, or put, are you referring "buy" vs "sell" calls and puts, and which are you referring to for "credit" and debit"?
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

I had two "click" moments on this video. #1 paying attention to the top or bottom of the Bollinger band in how you set up your option. #2 it finally cut through some confusion between buying and selling calls. Buying a call, you benefit if it goes up. Selling a call, you benefit if it goes does. I thought of the options as two train engines pointed up and down. When one gets weak according to stock price, it's pulling the other one. The second benefit may be the loophole by selling a call that is not covered but using the spread to reduce your bottom line. I wasn't sure if your sold call was covered here. It has helped me a lot to immediately imagine an ARROW POINTING up or down the minute you mention "Sell Call" (Benefit going down), "Buy Call" (Benefit going up), "Sell Put" (Benefit going up), "Buy Put" (Benefit going down). I can imagine the box that forms around these arrows and how it shows a profit zone from one or the other option on the spread. I hope that helps some people. I'm a visual learner.
This was a lot of information and I need to watch a few times but this has been one of the best vids ive seen on credit spreads. Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Id like to see more on being able to protect my small upcoming portfolio. Maybe more vids on explaining hedging and ways to use hedging strategies that’s if there is such a thing, with (multiple) ways of hedging since there are multiple option strategies and I’m probably showing how much of a newbie, I am. ❤ But I love hearing how Henry teaches his passion on options 😊

I like your presentation s, Henry. You speak so clearly and explains everything so good..
Thank you for explaining. it's very helpful as a new option trader.
Fantastic video. So much information presented quickly and clearly. Thanks!
I love your comments on bolinger bands. I use 2 bolinger bands. 20,1 and 20,3. this forms a 3 way highway. as long as the stock is in the fast lane or upper lane, I keep the stock.. if it goes into the middle lane, I consider selling, but if it goes in the slow lane I sell it. you have a great idea to use 1 bolinger band as an upper and lower limit to determine how high or how low in general a stock will go .. what a great idea to set up an option spread. I use a horizontal price volume now.. but now I have two ways to do this.. thanks a bunch

To be honest, I was a bit uncomfortable with this video at first (It is tough to see someone working so hard and risking soo much to earn so little) until you stroke me at min 9:20, the statistics/psychology of people losing money when buying options AND at the Casino... After you said that, from questioning mode, I immediately changed to listening/student mode... Cant debate your point, you are definitely right. Thanks for this great video.... One question, I understand Robinhood is really cool and easy when it comes to deal options but aren't you concerned or scared to have sooo much money with them? After the scandal they had with hedge funds and other people getting outrageous errors with debts... I left RH because one day I was showing a typo of -$37K on an option.... They recognized the mistake, I never looked back afterwards

@InvestwithHenry Thank you for all you do! I am brand new to this and learned a TON from you. I watched 10+ hours worth of videos before stumbling upon your channel, but your videos are the ones that helped me to understand the best. With AMC announcing it is going to sell an additional 40 million new shares, is this a good time to go in and sell puts with the goal of getting paid to own shares long term? If so, what kind of theta range should we be operating in with the stock dropping so rapidly? I have a very small account of $2000 that I am currently operating with and looking to grow big-time. My thoughts are that this AMC announcement may be a good way to start. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Maybe even do a video on this situation and put it in your small accounts playlist? Thanks again! Additionally, on the flip side, how would you operate with covered calls in this situation?
Best analogy for Bollinger bands I've ever heard!
Do you do live trades? If I join your discord or group, can I do credit spreads with a FT job? I am on the west coast and mostly work remotely.

@@86753091974 Yeah it does, in fact I really wish more people would cover the "hidden" risks of "defined risk" option trades like debit and credit spreads (where both options expire the same date). The problem is if you don't close out of the options you sold prior to expiration then on the day of expiration, the "defined risk" strategy actually goes to an "undefined risk" strategy. On the day of expiration you don't know yet whether or not you were assigned on the option you sold, meanwhile the option you bought to define the risk expires. So essentially after the close on expiration day you actually have a naked short option position open. There's also the risk that going into expiration the stock could be halted not allowing you to close the options you sold, which puts you right back into the above risk. Only way of managing that risk would be to trade some type of diagonal or calendar spread rather than a straight up spread.

So first, great videos!! Im struggling with your bollinger band explanation; I am under the impression the bollingerband is a lagging/historical indicator, so instead of projecting out 20 periods, it is tracking the previous 20 periods. Also the price staying inside the bollingerbands for pretty much the entire chart is deceiving; EXAMPLE: AAPL 1/11/23 upper bolli is 142.36; 20 periods later @ 1/31/23 the price is 144.29… The price is still within the bolli bands at this point, but it’s outside the upper bolli 20 periods earlier.
@drakehamilton
Жыл бұрын
Please correct me if I am wrong, I’m not trying to be rude. Your explanation has helped me understand bolli bands better than I did previously, because I was only using it to predict volatility when the bands tighten. I like your strategy trading spreads around the upper and lower bolli, but I think you might have better success if you are trading the opposite bolli from where price is currently: more specifically , if price is trending toward lower bolli or even hugging the lower bolli then trade some bearish spreads around the upper bolli and vice versa

With a $1.00 dollar width CS and receive $20.00 that means you are risking $80. 00 to make $20.00 with a 80% winning percentage ( 8 out of 10 ). So you win $20.00 × 8 = $160. You lose 2 × $80 = $-160. 10 total trades = 0 profit. The point is, those 2 losses have to be less than full losses in order to profit. The other point is that high winning percentage is overrated. It's P& L that matters.

Put in a limit order. The contract won’t be placed until that price is within the bid ask spread. He also states that you have to monitor these more. What I usually do is focus on the visual robinhood gives you prior to placing the trade. Those prices are what it has to stay within in order to come out of the trade with a gain.
you need to show how to close these options
where is the 300 per day ?
I feel like you missed the most important part which is, if youre in a put credit spread and the stock closes below your spread, then you lose all your money. if it closes above, you make money. You lacked that explanation in the call credit spread as well.
You meant to say 2 cents @ 24:52
quick question, I see you have some options that are at 100% gain, why haven't you sold those positions? I usually set my tolerance to like 50-70% gain to close. Do you just let most of your credit spreads expire if they are in the money?

How are you Henry? Did you felt a shake on the earth today?

Something don't add up here. You are showing an example with 80% likelihood of succeeding. Fair enough. You also show that you will earn $19 on this trade, and you even say, that you will make money 4 times out of 5. Great. But the last time you will lose $81. This gives you a negative expected value here: (4x19)-(1x81) = -$5. This you divide by 5 trades which gives you -$1 en statistical value per trade. So if your numbers are correct this trade might end up giving you +$19, but if you continue doing this 50 or 100 times you will have a statistical guarantee of losing money. Or did I miss you point?
