Deep dives
Finding an Edge in Options Trading through Strike Selection
Trading options based on directional movements using call and put options may not necessarily align with trading based on probabilities. By finding directional call and put options through technical analysis, traders adopt a stock replacement strategy, requiring accurate directionality to profit. While this method demands less capital than stock trading, it may not fully leverage the probabilities embedded in the options market due to fair pricing. Selling options, particularly out of the money options, harnesses inherent probabilities and time decay, offering higher probability trades.
The Role of Trade Management in Options Trading Edge
An essential way to enhance an edge in options trading lies in effective trade management techniques. Traders proficient in concepts like rolling and adjusting positions can mitigate risks and adapt to market fluctuations. Skillfully managing trades, such as iron condors, can significantly impact overall trade outcomes, emphasizing the importance of strategic trade adjustments to optimize risk-reward ratios.
Enhancing Edge through Analytical Fusion in Options Trading
Combining high probability trades like credit spreads with analytical tools like time series and technical analysis can augment trading success. Integration of data-driven insights, such as the Tomorrow's Triumph Rate metric, alongside traditional options strategies, empowers traders to stack the odds in their favor. Utilizing indicators like the SMA in conjunction with analytical insights further refines trade selections, enabling traders to articulate and capitalize on their unique trading edge.
In this episode, I'll talk about how when it comes to options trading, you need more than the options probabilities to have an edge and to make money over time.
We'll go through an example of using a put credit spread backtest as well as some new research from Alpha Crunching for trading them.
