Episode notes
Fade Directional Earnings Trades
- If I take a directional stance, do the opposite of my trade to profit from my bias.
- Jim repeatedly instructs listeners to fade his directional earnings trades for consistent gains.
Default To Doing Nothing On Managing Verticals
- Do nothing immediately when a short vertical is holding; default is often to sit tight.
- Jim leaves his Apple short vertical open because it's marking near entry and still can work into expiration.
Hold Time-Distant Spreads For Recovery
- If a spread has long time until expiration, consider holding to give it time to recover.
- Jim keeps the Amazon short call spread with 49 days left instead of closing for a small loss.
