Stock Market Options Trading

Today's episode is the audio version of a conservative monthly options trading strategy recently posted at https://www.patreon.com/VerticalSpreadOptionsTrading for supporters of the podcast and YouTube channel. Along with the consistent income strategy, there is a companion hedging strategy that was discussed in Episode 25. Together, these strategies averaged a 40%+ return during the 5 year lookback period. Consider become a patron over on Patreon to get access to the details of this strategy as well as several other mechanical and systematic income strategies at https://www.patreon.com/VerticalSpreadOptionsTradingThere's even an option to join the Trade Alerts tier where we put our top strategies to work each and every week.

One of the attractions of trading options is the idea that you can create trades with varying degrees of probabilities of profit. In this episode, I put the option probabilities that the trading platforms give us to the test by doing a 10year backtest. The focus is on comparing both the call and put side to see if over a long term period of time, if the probabilities play out as expected. As a bonus, listeners can view the studies discussed in this episode over on the community website in the Podcast section.

Also known as units or unit puts. Unit put options are options that have very little value as the options market is unable to price them properly which allows them to explode in value during a market correction. I'll share how i am implementing this hedging strategy in my portfolio using SPX put debit spreads and will share how these performed during the COVID stock market crash of 2020. Thanks for listening and looking forward to seeing you at https://www.stockmarketoptionstrading.netJ.
