I created $263 of my own dividends in April and May 🔥🔥🔥
Initial call sold on April 3:

Soon after selling that call the price of $JNJ spiked up
It reached $166+ before the expiration date
$6+ more than my strike price
I wasn’t ready to lose my shares
So I rolled to same strike of $160 a week forward to 4/21
Added premium: $47

$JNJ stayed relentless and didn’t budge much
It closed at $162.5+ by the 21st
So I had to roll the option forward again
Again a week forward and same strike price
4/28 $160c

I started trading 4 years ago by buying options.
Had I known this intraday sell strategy by Vishal Mehta, I would have avoided the loss that I faced in my 1st year.
Don't do the same mistake that I did!

The logic behind this strategy is to wait and sell that leg of straddle/strangle first that is decaying fast.
Basically follow the trend.

2. If the market is going down, the CE leg will get executed.
3. If the market is going up, the PE leg will be executed.
4. If the market reverses the other leg is also executed.

The strategy is Covered call strategy
Pre-requisites for the covered call strategy
1. You need to own a house. (Let's take #Nifty index for an example)
2. You need to own the complete house.
In our case, we need to own atleast 1 lot of Nifty.
How do we do that ? Read next

3. #Nifty is currently at ~18000 & it has a lot size of 50.
We need to own Nifty ETF worth 18000 * 50 = 9,00,000
Nifty Bees is the most liquid ETF & we get 90% amount after pledging as collateral margin.
So you get 8,00,000 back as collateral as well if you need more margin.

1. Technical indicators are overrated, Market doesn't care about them.
Price action and volume is what feeds into indicators.

Selling Cash Secured Puts are not without risks
A hidden risk is LOST OPPORTUNITY

I had sold a $129 CSP on $AAPL in December that I rolled down a couple of times to $126

I received $220 in premiums

Today $AAPL is above $165
I made 1.7% in premiums in 4 weeks
$220 on $12,900 collateral
But that’s nothing compared to the lost opportunity in Capital Gains in $AAPL
Maybe $AAPL comes back down to the $120s again?
But who knows 🤷♂️

It wasn’t a smooth ride up in this journey of selling $AMZN Covered Calls
There were a few times where the stock spiked up beyond my strike price

By Jan 27 $SQ was almost at $84
I could let my 1/27 $77C expire and take the capital gain loss
But I wanted to capture the upside in the stock so I didn’t want to lose the shares

Forced Rollover
Your option is already at a LOSS
Your option is about to be called or assigned
But you don’t want that
So you are FORCED to roll it over to the future at the same strike price or higher
Example: $AAPL
Your option is already at a LOSS
Your option is about to be called or assigned
But you don’t want that
So you are FORCED to roll it over to the future at the same strike price or higher
Example: $AAPL
The price of $AAPL is above the strike price of the call option
To prevent my shares being called at a value below my strike price I ROLLOVER the option
I kept the same strike price and only went out by a week
I could have chosen a higher strike and more distant expiry

A thread 🧵 about $AAPL Covered Call that didn’t work out as I had hoped
There are risks with selling options that need to be understood
As they say “No Free Lunch”
But…
Even trades that go against you can be managed and maneuvered

I sold an $AAPL Covered Call on 4/10:
- 4/14 $162.5C
- Premium: $115
$AAPL was around $159 at that time so this was a higher than usual risk that I took by selecting an aggressive strike price

It was a risk by rolling over in the money but I was willing to be patient

Technically, there is no such thing as passive income. You have to put in some effort somewhere to get it started.
So there is a gray area here granted, and up to each to make their own definition of passive income.

Lets start with #Vanna on $SPX & $SPY. $SPX cumulative Vanna picture still neutral in this range with positive vanna favoring downside and negative vanna hurting moves higher. $SPY is similar but with more positive vanna favoring downside should $VIX/IV continue to rise.
Aggregate #Charm up next on $SPX & $SPY. $SPX is now much more inline with $SPY with positive charm exceeding negative charm. This means dealer selling will take place as time passes on these contracts.

We see Algoflow divergences below. These are assets where net flow is diverging from price. Finance sector and related names stand out as bearish. The bullish names like $U, $GE, $NFLX, $BA & $ENPH warrant a closer look for details.
The $SPY 3-day delta/price correlations show a 30% total chance of moving up to 2.7% higher and a 50% total chance of moving down as much as -3.7% over the next 3 days. Dealers are still long. Expected volatility has dropped slightly.
