📊 Earnings Edge: Diagonal Debit Dynamics - #2 Trade in 20242024 Trading Challenge Entry #2: Diary of an Option Trader 💡 Trade Overview: I noticed LLY soaring on the TradingView stock heatmap today. Observing the monthly chart of AMEX:XLE (healthcare sector), it has been mostly sideways for years. However, in the past two days, NYSE:LLY has demonstrated strong bullish movement with increasing volume, indicating a potential uptrend. I strategized to profit from a possible breakout or continued trend within an ascending triangle pattern. 📊 Option Strategy choice: Given the high IVR of 42 and an upcoming earnings report on February 6th before market, I anticipate further price rise. I pondered various strategies: Single leg call: Not preferable due to increasing breakeven with time. Naked put/credit vertical spread: Not ideal close to earnings, expecting IVR increase. OTM calendar: Avoided due to back month’s illiquidity. ATM calendar: Lower upper breakeven point was a concern. Noticing that IV was higher for the front-month compared to the back-month, likely due to the nearing earnings, I decided a diagonal put debit strategy was ideal to allow significant upside potential while benefiting from minor retracements as time progresses and speculating on an IVR increase. 📊 Diagonal put debit Position Legs: Chosen structure and execution details: Buy LLY Mar 15, 2024, 600.00 PUT at 27.48 (Quantity: 1) Sell LLY Feb 16, 2024, 610.00 PUT at 26.57 (Quantity: 1) Trade Details & Key Metrics: Symbol : LLY Date/Time : 2024-01-03 15:00 POP : 54% Required Buying Power ( Req.BP ): $1090 IVR : 44 Price : buying for $0.91 debit Front month leg : February 16 @610 x 1 PUT Back month leg : March 15 @600 x -1 PUT 📈 My Risk Tolerance: For the 2024 trading challenge (goal: FWB:12K to $30k), I’m limiting floating losses to 1.5% per position, thus not tolerating more than a $175 loss. This threshold is approximately around a 590 strike price. While I’m comfortable with a considerable upside range, the upper breakeven at front month expiration is around a 711 strike, increasing to 760 at 21 DTE. 🎯 My Profit Target: I’m aiming for about 2x the allowed loss, approximately around $300, but will consider taking profits if the price approaches the optimal equity curve point near a 650 strike. Realizing profits is always the more gratifying part of trading! ANYWAY: HIT THE 🚀 BUTTON ABOVE! This trade is part of my 2024 option trading challenge , where I aim to turn a 12k account above $30K 💰 (details in signature and my profile page) .

ASML Holding Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold the regional top on ASML: nor entered the dip before the previous earnings: Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of ASML Holding prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 770usd strike price Calls with an expiration date of 2024-1-26, for a premium of approximately $15.85. And looking at the chart this would be probably the final leg of the Double Top. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

Beat the Market: How I Strangled $SAVE for Maximum Gains Technical Summary: Strategy: Strangle on SAVE stock Initial Credit: $133 (before commissions and fees) Maximum Profit: $120 Required Buying Power (req. bp.): $260 for 39 days Probability of Profit (POP): 85% IV Rank (IVR): Over 94 post-earnings Break-even points: Favorably distant due to high IVR Management opportunities: Anticipated rich rolling options in future Trade Details (2023-11-06): Call Sold: 1x SAVE 12/15/23 Call @ $0.80, Strike $15.00 Put Sold: 1x SAVE 12/15/23 Put @ $0.53, Strike $7.50 Commissions and Fees: Minor, deducted from the initial credit Alright, it's Greg, the TanukiTrader, here to give you the rundown on today's options trading escapades. I took a dive into SAVE stocks which, amidst the earnings aftermath, boasted an IV Rank over 94 due to the hefty market plunge. In the tempest of the airlines' current headwinds, staying cool was the game, and I laid out a strangle to exploit that sweet 85% probability of profit at a 1:2 required buying power ratio—a number I find particularly enticing. The break-evens are sitting pretty, giving us room to breathe, and I'm gunning for a $120 max profit while my obligations are just $260 for the remaining 39 days, thanks to that spicy high IVR. Management options down the line are looking lush, especially when it comes to rolling. On the ledger, I dispatched a $15 strike SAVE call for $0.80 and a $7.50 strike SAVE put for $0.53, bagging a cool $133 in credit upfront, minor commissions and fees notwithstanding. To wrap up today's strategy: I positioned a well-balanced strangle on SAVE stock, taking into account the industry's rough patch. My opening balance clocked in at $133 in credit, which promises a rich tapestry of rolling opportunities in the days ahead. On this fine day of November 6, 2023, I have executed the sale of one call and one put option, summing up to $133 in credit, minus the petty cash for costs. Looking forward, I foresee this position offering ample management plays.

84% PoP - Playing the Oil Prices with /MCL Futures $USO $CL I've decided to make a play on the oil prices and chose /MCL futures for this venture. The trade required a BP (buying power) of $600, with a maximum profit potential of 1.07cr. This sets up a favorable risk-reward ratio of 1:6. The IVR (Implied Volatility Rank) stands at 51, which is advantageous for the credit strategies I prefer. With a PoP (Probability of Profit) of 84%, the conditions seem ideal for the 34 days duration I've set for selling the 70 put leg. I opened an semi-bullish position with a put short on the January expiry /MCL futures. My expectation is that the oil prices will either not fall too rapidly or will actually rise. For future management of this position, I have two scenarios in mind: If the Oil Continues to Fall Strongly: In case the oil continues its strong downtrend, I plan to sell a call leg on top, transforming the position into a strangle from the current naked put. If the fall is steep, or I fear that the break-even point of $69 might be breached, I'll hedge my risk by purchasing a put around the 60 strike, turning it into a credit spread and wait for the 21 DTE (Days to Expiry). Stagnant or Slight Rebound in Oil Prices: If the oil price doesn't move much or rebounds slightly, I'll quickly close my position for a profit. The target? About 50% of the original credit received for writing the put, which amounts to roughly $50. This would mean a 10% return on my utilized capital, which I find quite satisfactory. In summary, this strategic move in oil futures trading is well-aligned with my risk appetite and trading preferences, providing a good balance between risk management and profit potential.

Option TradingOption Trading work based on a contract that gives the buyer the right to buy or sell a certain asset, at a predetermined price (strike price) within a certain time period. A very simple task, but is there a clear technical analysis method that can provide consecutive wins? This post is not trading advice, just a statistical hypothesis test. I will try in 100 candles, and stop if the win rate is below 70% If you are an options trader, or are interested in learning the system I use, please follow this post.
