As a trader for 4years, I didn't start making continuous gains until last year. Trading is very simple once you understand the safety rules, it the key to success in trading. I can't stress this enough. When I started I didn't know a single person to guide me, now i value the experience. consider yourselves lucky if you have an over achiever.

@jessicamegan5850 3 месяца назад

Sometimes it’s easy to say, I’ve been a victim of all my trades going sideways. that said, I just want to model out what success looks like while also improving. I make roughly hundred plus a year and in California, rent inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make and other obligations included, it's easy to end up with zero. I need an effective way to start utilizing every opportunity to earn more.

@johndeanconway7931 3 месяца назад

Because of this, I much prefer having an advisor guide all of my market decisions. Their whole dexterity is centered around well known future anticipation, taking advantage of risk for its awry upside and turns. Also adding the sole analysis they posses, and It's really difficult for them to underperform in any given trend situation with over achieving. my coach Frost Hilda, has impacted a lot of exposure, it completely changed the approach for me.

@jessicamegan5850 3 месяца назад

I actually subscribed for a few guiders but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper enlightened advisor, how did you go about touching base with your coach John.

I like how you did not go into option spreads as that is really intimidating for beginners and instead expanded on exercising, greeks, option chains and backtesting. This is a more complete guide for a true beginner to have a head start. I really loved the house example you made n the 2020 beginner guide tho.

@heldim92 6 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for all the work put into this, Chris! The first time I came across your channel, it was through the older video guide for options trading. Prior to that, I had never tried to understand it and your take on it was very enlightening. So much, that I decided to watch this video as well! While the explanation on the first version felt sort of more slowly paced and a bit more repetitive, which makes everything more comprehensive and digestible (to me), I found this newer version to have some additional and relevant information. Oh, and I must say it is pretty reassuring to see you "risking" actual money to show things during market open and not only through some paper trading or simulations. You should definitely continue this practice. Overall, I believe I understood the assignment! Thanks a lot and I hope to keep seeing your growth!

I’ve gone through your pdf version and this after the two day Charles Payne webinar. The two cover the topic in similar fashion, after all it’s geared toward beginners.

43:38 please correct me if i am wrong. if you bought the option with DTE of 49 and the premium of $10.73 and the intrinsic value of $5 ($350-$345) and by the end of the option it is worth only its intrinsic value, you would lose $500 ($500-$1,073) and in the second case you would lose $3,928 ($500-$3,928). i am really confused about the losses you mentioned and i will be grateful if you explain this problem to me

@keshav4397 5 месяцев назад

With selling covered calls, if my intension is to keep the stock while earning a premium, I understand with Out-of-the Money options (strike price > stock price), the stock is not called away if the stock price does not reach the strike price. As a seller, if I want to keep the stock, I hope the price stays below the strike price. However, with in-the-Money, since strike price is already lower than the stock price, do I hope the stock price will stay above the strike price to keep the stock (so is not called away)? Thanks

Hi Chris, I have one doubt regarding options trading and tax calculation For a call option (bought in May 2021) which expired worthless this year(January 2023), can I use the corresponding loss for tax offset calculation? Asking because I don't have any trade confirmation/statement about this expired call option in my broker account (Tastytrade). Thank you for support

@projectfinance 6 месяцев назад

Yes that option will be counted as a loss. The opening transaction will show up in your statements but I’m not sure if the expiration of it will. Usually those options come up in the tax software and you assign a value of 0 to them

@2000Crore 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for all your videos. I am learning a lot. I have a question. You have mentioned in many videos that the premium price will increase/decrease to include the additional benefit it provides so we never have to exercise options. But if delta is 0.25 then the premium will increase only by 25 cents for every $1 increase. Right? Could you please clarify?

@projectfinance 6 месяцев назад

Great question. The options INTRINSIC value will increase by the amount of the stock moving if the option is ITM. If the call strike is 100 and the stock goes from 105 to 106, the calls intrinsic value goes up by $1.00 but the options prices does not if the delta is 0.50. The reason is because the options price shifts from extrinsic value to intrinsic value as it becomes further ITM. So if the stock is 105 and the 100 call is worth $8 and the delta is 0.75: The call starts with $5 of intrinsic and $3 of extrinsic. Stock goes up by $1 to $106 and now the call is worth $8.75. $6 of the value is intrinsic and $2.75 is extrinsic. So the option intrinsic went up and the extrinsic went down (the ratio of intrinsic goes up and extrinsic goes down when the option becomes further ITM). In your example of the delta being 0.25, this means the option is not in the money and therefore has no intrinsic value so the example above does not apply.

@havaneseday 5 месяцев назад

This is so helpful! Thanks for creating something like this and sharing it for free. I was wondering about 36:21...really new to this so bear with me: In the example, Tesla's current price was at $257.50. But you were referencing purchasing a Put option with a strike of $270. I'm having trouble understanding how you can purchase a Put option with a higher strike than the current price of the stock? Same for a Call option where the strike is lower than the current stock price. Seems counter intuitive? Doesn't a buying a Put option imply that you would make a profit if the stock price decreases? But in this example its already below the strike?

@projectfinance 5 месяцев назад

Great question! Answer this question: if you bought the 270 put, exercised it, then closed the resulting stock position, what would the p/l be? Keep in mind you lose the entire option value when you exercise it because you are “consuming” it in exchange for the shares.

@projectfinance 5 месяцев назад

Here's the math: Option Price of 270 Put: $22.50 (I pay $2,250 to buy it) Stock Price: $257.50 If I exercise the put, I will consume the 270 put and get -100 shares at $270/share. The $2,250 valued option disappears from my account. I can close the short stock at $257.50, making +$12.50 per share on the short, or +$1,250 total on the 100 shares of short stock. I paid $2,250 for the 270 put initially, therefore my net P/L is -$1,000 for doing that. Lesson: You can't make an easy profit by buying an ITM put or ITM call and then exercising it because the option includes the profit you could make by doing so, but also includes EXCESS value (extrinsic value) that represents the additional value the option could make before expiration. So why would you buy an ITM put vs. OTM put? You get different risk/reward profiles and exposures. Look at the options in this link: imgur.com/a/6wAXfXR The 150 TSLA call is $35 ITM and costs $3,935 to buy it. I'll get a delta of +83, meaning I'll make $83 if TSLA goes up by $1 and lose $83 if TSLA goes down by $1. I only lose the total $3,935 if TSLA is below $150 in 77 days. So TSLA needs to fall ~20% for me to lose all my money. The 190 TSLA call is OTM and costs $1,310 to buy it. I'll get a delta of +48, meaning I'll make $48 if TSLA goes up by $1 and lose $48 if TSLA goes down by $1. I lose the total $1,310 if TSLA doesn't increase above $190 by expiration, and I need TSLA above $203.10 to breakeven at expiration. The 150 call purchase is a higher probability bet that gives the owner more P/L exposure to changes in the stock, but costs a lot more to enter. It's less of a gamble to buy this option. The 190 call purchase is a lower probability bet that requires a stock price increase just to breakeven at expiration, though the trade could make money well before expiration as long as the stock starts increasing soon. It's a cheaper option and more of a gamble. So it depends on the trader's outlook for the stock. A large account trader who wants high probability, bullish exposure to TSLA that mimics a stock investment, but doesn't want to pay for pure decaying extrinsic value (like the 190 call), and doesn't want to pay for all the stock might by the 150 deep ITM calls. They'd get the P/L exposure of +83 shares of stock, which would cost $15,000 to buy 83 shares at $185/share instead of buying the 150 call for $3,935. So they get lots of leverage. A trader buying the 190s or ever further OTM calls is making a bigger gamble that TSLA will go up fast and soon, otherwise they will fight time decay and lose money on the trade, and lost 100% of their money if TSLA doesn't increase. All of this same commentary could be flipped to puts for various put comparisons.

So when with a call option I have the right to buy the stock at a certain (lower) price - who exactly do I buy the stock from? I’d understand a discount code I type in upon check out but that can’t be it ?! Please elaborate. Who looks at my option and says ok you get the stock for less ?

@projectfinance 6 месяцев назад

You exercise an option which means someone who is short that option gets assigned. The short option trader who gets assigned is the trader who takes the other side of your stock order. So if you exercise a call then someone who is short that call gets assigned and sells the stock to you at the strike price.

@shayschreurs5887 5 месяцев назад

theoretically, if you were in a losing trade, could you just buy and hold at that point? example: i open a call with strike price of $100 and start losing on it. i close at 90. so now i'm down $10 per share. Do i have to immediately sell that and take the loss? or can i just hold on to the 100 shares in hopes that the stock goes back up eventually? if that's the case, it would be hard to lose on a blue chip stock

@projectfinance 5 месяцев назад

Not necessarily because you don’t have a stock position in your example. If you buy a call with a strike of 100, you don’t have any stock unless you exercise the call. If the stock drops to $90, your call will be less valuable and you’ll have losses on the call option. If you exercised the call, you’d be converting your call into 100 shares with a purchase price of $100 per share. This would not be logical as you could buy 100 shares at the current stock price of $90 instead of paying $10 more per share to buy them at $100 with your call. With that said, you could hold the losing call position and open a new stock position by purchasing shares at the now lower stock price, which could recoup your losses eventually if the stock does trade higher in the future.

How are you in the money if the call price is under the stock price? Isnt that what a put is?

@projectfinance 5 месяцев назад

In the money is a call with a strike price below the stock price. It’s in the money because the call owner can exercise it and buy stock below the market price of the shares (since the call strike is below the stock price)

What happens if the buyer close the option ITM. As example, if they bought a call option at 50$ and they sold it at 65$. Does the seller lose that 15$/share so 1500$? Who lose the money

@projectfinance 6 месяцев назад

If a call buyer pays $5 for an option and sells it for $15, they make $10. A trader who shorted the option would lose the $10. It’s all little more complicated than that as the same trader who took the other side of your entry is not necessarily the same trader taking the other side of the exit.

@antoine.d3775 6 месяцев назад

@projectfinance so how do covered calls work then if you can't cover the full amount of the losses by selling your shares? Have you made any videos on that subject of covered options shorting? It would interest me

@projectfinance 6 месяцев назад

@@antoine.d3775 If you trade a CC the gains on the shares will cover the losses on the short call since your 100 shares will make more money per $1 stock increase than the short call will lose. At/near expiration, the short call will lose $100 for every $1 increase in the stock price if it is ITM. There is never a scenario where the short call starts losing more money than your 100 shares per $1 increase in the stock

@antoine.d3775 6 месяцев назад

@projectfinance yea you're right since I'll get a prenium (the $$ that I got from the buyer when they bought the call) and I'll also gain the money when I sell the stock since it obviously went up if the buyer ends up making money. Thanks, super helpful! 👌

@saurabh7337 5 месяцев назад

If possible please show the calculation for breakeven price.

@projectfinance 5 месяцев назад

Call Buy or Short: call strike + entry price Put Buy or Short: Put Strike - Entry Price So if you buy or short a 105 call for $2 the breakeven price is $107. If you buy or short a 85 put for $10 the breakeven at expiration is $75. So these expiration breakevens are understood by answering this question: At what price does the call or out have intrinsic value equal to the entry price of the position? That’s the breakeven price at expiration because an option only has intrinsic value at expiration. If the options remaining value at expiration is the same as the entry price, there’s no profit or loss.
