This is one of the best options channel. I have a question, what are the main points around choosing selling Strangles vs Iron Condors? (excluding Straddles and Flys), - Margin Impact? Number of Legs? EDIT: I just see a video recommended from your channel comparing the two! oops! EDIT #2: What are your thoughts on Naked Puts / Vertical Spreads vs. Strangles & ICs given the Call side in a bullish market could be tested a lot more.?

It's not supposed we are covered while the price remains into the range? why in the second example show a loss even before to cross the lower strike?

Hi Chris, I am pretty new in trading options, have a question refer to your example 2 collapsing stock price. You short it at (6.35 put / 6.20 call), which the sell put is $0.15 greater than the sell call. In between the short put goes ITM and had a significant loss about ($48 - $12.55 = $35.45 / share),wouldn't the losses is only at $15 for the entire portfolio? Because during such situation, the sell call will rise significant and the sell put will fell significant and the loses I was wondering is only the difference between the trade price of $15?
@projectfinance

Brandon, The overall loss on the strangle is about $35.45 since the strangle was sold for $12.55 and reached a price of $48 during the stock collapse. When it comes to each leg, the short call would have experienced a significant decrease in value, leading to profits on the short call side. However, the short put exploded in value and the losses from the put were much greater than the profits on the call. So, you're right in that the short call portion of the trade was profitable, but overall the position was not profitable because the short put's value increased so much. Does that answer your question? Please feel free to follow-up if I didn't answer the question you intended. -Chris

Excellent video. However, It seems to me that if I own the stock, there is no risk. Assume the stock price = $100. I sell the put option for $90 and the call option for $110. If the expiry price drops below $90 I buy more stock and if the expiry price rises to above $110, I sell the stock at a profit. I keep both premiums in both cases. Am I making a mistake? I cannot see the danger. Am I being stupid?
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 4 года назад
You are right about how it works. The danger is that the stock plummets and you have to buy more shares at $90, which is bad if the shares fall to $50. And, you'll need the money in your account to actually be able to purchase the shares.

Hey can I buy a short strangle that expires the same day? Would'nt that be easy to make money?
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 5 лет назад
Hi Omar, Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work that way as option prices steadily lose their extrinsic value as they approach expiration. Since strangles consist of out-of-the-money options (all extrinsic value), these options wouldn't be worth very much, if anything, right before expiration. Additionally, by purchasing a strangle that expires the same day, you NEED the stock price to move notably in either direction, otherwise, you'll lose everything you paid for the strangle. To make money buying strangles, the stock price needs to move significantly in either direction and/or implied volatility needs to increase (the stock's options get more expensive due to the market anticipating increased movement from that stock) before too much time passes.

what is the different application scenario using short strangle and short straddle. it seems both of them are using to predict stock price moving in a certain range. so what is the right stradegy to using them. thank you.
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 6 лет назад
Short strangles have strike prices that are further away from the stock price, which results in lower maximum profit since out-of-the-money options are sold for less premium than at-the-money options. Short strangles also have a higher probability of making money since the strike prices are away from the stock price. Short straddles collect more overall premium relative to short strangles because at-the-money options have the most extrinsic value relative to any other options. However, with short straddles, the assumption should be that the stock price will remain somewhere near the straddle's strike price as time passes. Or, that the stock price will trade near the straddle's strike price at some point closer to the expiration date of the options. Some traders just have different preferences and some may sell straddles each month as opposed to selling strangles each month. Both strategies profit from the same scenario - the stock price remaining in a range as time passes, but both strategies vary greatly in their profit potential and 'range' of maximum profitability. I wouldn't say one strategy is 'right' over the other one, as it's a matter of the trader's preference. Does this help?

Hello I have one question , if I have the cash for the put to be secured and own 100 shares to sell the call is this almost risk free ? Especially if it’s a stock I would like to hold long term anyway ! ?
@projectfinance
@projectfinance Год назад
Yes that would be a covered strangle (long 100 shares, short put, short call). If the stock plummets you buy another 100 shares. If the stock surges you make the max profit on the covered call and short put. It’s a capital intensive strategy but it can work nicely if the stock trades in a range!

Is the strategy going to cost be $8.09 or $809 dollars? Basically what I’m trying to say is that can I start with $200, I’m just kinda confused on how much it cost...
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 5 лет назад
That's what the option premium collected was in that particular example. In that example, the maximum profit potential is $809. Selling strangles is a highly risky strategy that requires a significant amount of margin/buying power. You would not be able to sell a strangle with $200 in your account, as you'd need $2,000+ to have a margin account, which is required when selling naked options. I generally don't recommend selling strangles at all, regardless of account size.

As a beginner, I would look into the spread strategies as a starting point: ru-vid.com/group/PL33AZa4cv-o6r4wU-2pMzz_vjdvI94AYU The vertical spread strategies have limited loss potential and can be structured in a way that results in very little loss potential (by trading spreads with narrow widths between the long and short strikes).

Another outstanding video, Chris. Question: In Example Trade #2 (Stock Collapse) Would there not be a good chance of being assigned at the point the stock falls $20+ in the money resulting in being short 100 shares @ $482.45? Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and for the efforts in putting these vids together!
@projectfinance
@projectfinance 6 лет назад
Thank you, Amato! I appreciate the kind comment. When the short put is deep-in-the-money with very little/no extrinsic value, the chance of assignment is much higher than it is when the option has more extrinsic value. However, we still can't say 'it's likely that you'll get assigned' just because the option has little extrinsic value. I would say it's still rare, just more probable than when the option is not as in-the-money. In any case, a trader who is assigned on a short put can sell the shares immediately and then sell the long put to unwind the entire position. I hope this helps! -Chris

@@Eastbaypisces If you own the 482 put and the stock is at 462 and you exercise the put, you sell/short 100 shares of stock at $482/share. A trader who is short that same put you exercised will be forced to buy 100 shares at $482/share, the opposite trade you did.

What you mentioned is pretty much the same (which I prefer). Short stangle is another fancy word for MMs to allow traders to play options with limited capital (or margin) but comes with a higher risk. The likelihood of a blown account is increased.
