Option Sellers make profits more frequently but they earn small amounts every time

Option Buyers earn larger profits from each winning trade but they win less frequently

Which options camp πŸ•οΈ do you lean towards?

Delta measures how much the price of an option changes in relation to a change in the price of the underlying asset

A high delta means the option is more sensitive to changes in the underlying asset's price
What is Theta?

Theta measures how much the price of an option declines as time passes

It's also known as the "time decay" of an option

All rollovers are NOT the same when you Sell Options

What are rollovers?

You BUY back an option that you sold and then you SELL another option at a different strike price and/or expiry

Here are a few different types of rollovers

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

#OptionsTrading #Optionselling
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 Image
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 β€œNo 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 Image
The risk materialized and $AAPL reached ~ $165.2 by expiry

I rolled over the call to 4/21 just prior to close on 4/14

Same strike price

Premium: $95

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

A brief thread 🧡 about trades that didn’t work this week

Some were not expected to be winners right away but still counting them here

None were spectacularly bad 😎

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

$AAPL $JNJ $TSLA

#OptionsTrading #Optionselling
A rollover of $JNJ Covered Call

- 4/21 $160C

When that trade was made (a rollover from previous week) $JNJ was at $166

$JNJ came down after earnings but not enough

So this one remains in the rollover β€œjail” ImageImage
$AAPL rollover

- 4/21 $162.5C

$AAPL is pretty much holding the market

It did come down some this week but not enough for the sake of this call

So rolled again today ImageImage
