90% win rate 🚀 Unveil an easy $GLD Call Play with naked #goldHey everyone, Greg is here with a quick rundown of today’s options trading play. I entered the ring with a naked call on AMEX:GLD , aiming for that sweet spot of easy returns on a maximal Pop trade. Today’s golden ticket could net me a max profit of $118 with a probability of profit (PoP) sitting pretty at 80%, all while tying up $3000 of buying power and riding on an implied volatility rank (IVR) of 20%. The game plan was simple: watch the market, play it cool, and have a couple of scenarios up my sleeve: (Scenario A) If the price hikes, I'll pivot to a strangle, balancing out with a sold put to accompany my call. (Scenario B) If it looks like easy money, I’ll lock in those gains and close out the current trade, quick and clean. The strategy is all about simplicity, with an exit plan to bow out gracefully at about 65% of the max profit. As of today, November 5, 2023, that naked call is open and I’m in the market. To wrap it up, here’s the play-by-play for today: Date: November 5 , 2023 Strategy: Naked Call on AMEX:GLD Opening Credit: $118 Expected Profit: Exiting at ~65% of max profit Probability of Profit (PoP): 80% Required Buying Power (Req.BP): $3000 Implied Volatility Rank (IVR): 20 Current Position Balance (as of opening): $118 of credit (1.18cr) Stay tuned to see which scenario unfolds and how the trade’s balance shifts in the coming days. Keep it easy, folks!

Opening (IRA): IWM December 29th 155 Short Put... for a 1.56 credit. Comments: Rounding out rungs in the last of the available expiries in the 4th quarter, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market using short puts. If I had nothing on in IWM, I'd probably go shorter duration (e.g., November 17th) where the 165 is paying 1.75 at the moment; I already have a rung at that strike, so am going out farther in duration to keep theta on and burning. The same would probably go for my Friday stuff in the Q's and in SPY.

Opening (IRA): IWM Jan 19th 157 Short Put... for a 1.58 credit. Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. As I mentioned in my earlier post (See Below), shorter duration is probably paying, but I already have rungs on in the Nov 17th, Dec 15th, and Dec 29th expiries, so going out to 2024 here. Naturally, I'll sell in shorter duration if I can get in at strikes better than what I currently have on.

Opening (IRA): QQQ December 29th 297 Short Put... for a 3.00 credit. Comments: Rounding out fourth quarter rungs in the Q's here, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. Shorter duration (i.e., November) is actually paying at or below the 16 delta strike, but already have rungs camped out there (although I still may squeeze some in there in the weeks ahead if it's productive). Will start to look to peel off shorter duration rungs as I come to them, although I only have a couple of October rungs left, with the majority being out in November and December.
