Beat the Market: How I Strangled $SAVE for Maximum Gains
Technical Summary:
Strategy: Strangle on SAVE stock
Initial Credit: $133 (before commissions and fees)
Maximum Profit: $120
Required Buying Power (req. bp.): $260 for 39 days
Probability of Profit (POP): 85%
IV Rank (IVR): Over 94 post-earnings
Break-even points: Favorably distant due to high IVR
Management opportunities: Anticipated rich rolling options in future
Trade Details (2023-11-06):
Call Sold: 1x SAVE 12/15/23 Call @ $0.80, Strike $15.00
Put Sold: 1x SAVE 12/15/23 Put @ $0.53, Strike $7.50
Commissions and Fees: Minor, deducted from the initial credit
Alright, it's Greg, the TanukiTrader, here to give you the rundown on today's options trading escapades. I took a dive into SAVE stocks which, amidst the earnings aftermath, boasted an IV Rank over 94 due to the hefty market plunge. In the tempest of the airlines' current headwinds, staying cool was the game, and I laid out a strangle to exploit that sweet 85% probability of profit at a 1:2 required buying power ratio—a number I find particularly enticing. The break-evens are sitting pretty, giving us room to breathe, and I'm gunning for a $120 max profit while my obligations are just $260 for the remaining 39 days, thanks to that spicy high IVR. Management options down the line are looking lush, especially when it comes to rolling.
On the ledger, I dispatched a $15 strike SAVE call for $0.80 and a $7.50 strike SAVE put for $0.53, bagging a cool $133 in credit upfront, minor commissions and fees notwithstanding.
To wrap up today's strategy: I positioned a well-balanced strangle on SAVE stock, taking into account the industry's rough patch. My opening balance clocked in at $133 in credit, which promises a rich tapestry of rolling opportunities in the days ahead. On this fine day of November 6, 2023, I have executed the sale of one call and one put option, summing up to $133 in credit, minus the petty cash for costs. Looking forward, I foresee this position offering ample management plays.
FINNIFTY- Ready for another leg up?Finnifty and all the other indexes reacted very well on BJP's win in the elections.
So what now?
We can't even think about bearish positions now. Going forward for tomorrow's expiry, there are 3 scenarios
1- Gap down opening: If there's a gap down opening which is less than 0.7%, then I expect finnifty to recover and expire either at +-0.2%.
2- Gap up opening: If there's a gap up opening, then I expect finnifty to expire above 20800.
3- Flat opening: If there is a flat opening i expect some consolidation but will expect finnifty to close positive, or at least above 20700.

84% PoP - Playing the Oil Prices with /MCL Futures $USO $CL
I've decided to make a play on the oil prices and chose /MCL futures for this venture. The trade required a BP (buying power) of $600, with a maximum profit potential of 1.07cr. This sets up a favorable risk-reward ratio of 1:6. The IVR (Implied Volatility Rank) stands at 51, which is advantageous for the credit strategies I prefer. With a PoP (Probability of Profit) of 84%, the conditions seem ideal for the 34 days duration I've set for selling the 70 put leg.
I opened an semi-bullish position with a put short on the January expiry /MCL futures. My expectation is that the oil prices will either not fall too rapidly or will actually rise. For future management of this position, I have two scenarios in mind:
If the Oil Continues to Fall Strongly: In case the oil continues its strong downtrend, I plan to sell a call leg on top, transforming the position into a strangle from the current naked put. If the fall is steep, or I fear that the break-even point of $69 might be breached, I'll hedge my risk by purchasing a put around the 60 strike, turning it into a credit spread and wait for the 21 DTE (Days to Expiry).
Stagnant or Slight Rebound in Oil Prices: If the oil price doesn't move much or rebounds slightly, I'll quickly close my position for a profit. The target? About 50% of the original credit received for writing the put, which amounts to roughly $50. This would mean a 10% return on my utilized capital, which I find quite satisfactory.
In summary, this strategic move in oil futures trading is well-aligned with my risk appetite and trading preferences, providing a good balance between risk management and profit potential.
Option TradingOption Trading work based on a contract that gives the buyer the right to buy or sell a certain asset, at a predetermined price (strike price) within a certain time period.
A very simple task, but is there a clear technical analysis method that can provide consecutive wins?
This post is not trading advice, just a statistical hypothesis test. I will try in 100 candles, and stop if the win rate is below 70%
