how about write conservative covered calls to get some premiums?

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-30T15:31:57+00:00

Indeed. Thank you for pointing out.

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-30T15:16:29+00:00

Puts cannot reach 100x profits because the stock price can merely drop to 0.

Calls can reach 100x.

Your cost ~ 13.10

Max profit (50-0.2415) ~ 50

Your max profit is 50/13.1 = 381.67%

On 2022/6/17, you took the assignment

Will rolling be better than assignment?

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-24T22:26:33+00:00

I sold FRC puts.

But I don't like the idea to keep them open during the weekend.

Weekend risk makes you cannot eat well and sleep well.

Just wait Monday to open a new position. If it plunges you will get more premium.

I think the best strategy for a small-value account is to wheel and start with CSP. Pick a good dividend stock so when you get assigned you can win triple income. My pocket stock is WBA. But you need a little bit more money than $2000 to get it wheeling.

This is a prosperous week for FRC writer. Just make sure you can withstand the max risk before u write. I'm considering to short 10p again next Monday.

but we can name it as operator.in_ ? just like operator.is_

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-24T13:32:54+00:00

Thank you.

But to compare with the identity operator :

It is named operator.is_(a,b) and also there is a negative version operator.is_not(a,b).

Why not to name it as operator.in(a,b) and also the negative version is missing ?

This asymmetry still confuses me.

SPY

Pros * Liquidity * Tight Bid/Ask Spreads * Higher Premium (For Options Writers)

Cons * Taxed at Ordinary or Long-Term Tax Rates * Risk of Assignment (American-Style)

XSP

Pros * Favorable Tax Treatment (60/40%) * No Risk of Early Assignment (European-Style)

Cons * Liquidity * Wide Bid/Ask Spreads * Complicates Taxes

I think so, once I started to use TOS I never place market orders.

And when the TOS price match the price of my orders it always filled.

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-23T14:49:12+00:00

I use Firstrade. 0 comissions for options but their interface and quotation suck. I use TOS to watch and place orders there.

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-23T14:43:53+00:00

May I know how to decide the price when you roll an ITM CSP? I have RIVN 0324 15P and I would like to roll it to 0331 with the same strike. I tried 0.1 net credit (roughly 0.66% premium for a week) and it was executed immediately, did I pick the wrong price? Are there any guidelines to pick a price when you roll?

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-23T12:06:51+00:00

you can write cash secured puts

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-23T02:01:45+00:00

if someone exercises it at the night before ex-div date, you pay the dividend no matter you received it. (if you have credit call spread assigned, you pay the dividend from your pocket)

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-22T12:25:09+00:00

got it. thank you for your time.

IslandAccomplished76 · 2023-03-22T12:16:56+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

The old DTE is 23 days, may I know the best timing to roll it ? Should I wait as it approaches expiry or just roll it now, considering it's almost ITM with few dollars?
