When To Take Profits on Options I’m Markus Heitkoetter and I’ve been an active trader for over 20 years. I often see people who start trading and expect their accounts to explode, based on promises and hype they see in ads and e-mails. They start trading and realize it doesn’t work this way. The purpose of these articles is to show you the trading strategies and tools that I personally use to trade my own account so that you can grow your own account systematically. Real money…real trades. Options trading is really fascinating, and it’s a great way to make money, and I think it is very important to know when to take profits, especially if you like trading The Wheel as I do. So the question is, when should you take profits when trading options? How exactly do you figure this out, is there a formula for it? In this article, I’ll share some guidelines for how and when you should take profits on an option trade. We will answer the question of whether you should let options expire or take profits early. I will show you some very specific examples of two trades that I have going on right now (at the time of this writing on March 17th, 2021). One of them, I took profits today, and the other one I’m still holding on and I will show you exactly why. ]How To Calculate Profits On Options Firstly, let’s talk about how to calculate profits on options. In order to address this, there are two types of options traders. One type of options trader are ones that are buying options, and the other, which I feel is very lucrative, and this is what I’ve been doing for a long time, is selling options and collecting premium. I want to actually talk about selling options and receiving premium, because this is, as I said, what I’ve been focusing on recently with trading The Wheel Strategy. My year-to-date profits on this account so far are more than $54,000 selling premium on options, and I’ll show you exactly how to do this. So when selling options, you’re receiving premium, and for me, the most important metric here is the so-called premium per day or PPD. MARA Example The first example that I want to give you is my position with MARA. Looking over my transactions with MARA over the last 30 days. I sold puts at a strike price of 20, and for this, I received $0.28 in premium per option that I sold. Now options come in 100 packs, so this means that per option I made $28. Now, in this specific example, I sold 50 options total, so this means that I’m receiving a premium of $1,400. I put this trade on March 10th, and these options expired on 3/19. This is $1,400 in premium in 9 days. This comes to $155.55 in premium per day, or PPD. Now this includes weekends. My rule is I’m buying back the option when I can get 90% of the maximum profits, but there’s an exception to this rule. First, let me tell you what that means. So again, I sold each contract for $28, for $0.28. The idea is to buy back the option at $0.03, and this is exactly what I did today (March 17th). So we have another two days to expiration. So today, I bought back a total of 50 contracts at $0.03, and by doing so I made $0.25 in profits on MARA. Now, this is where again, we’re looking at 50 contracts, times $25, so this is $1,250. I was in this position for 7 days. So $1,250, divided by 7 days, means that I made $178.57 a day. Let’s just round to $179 per day. As you can see, $179 is more than the $155.55 that I planned per day. Now let’s think about it. If I would keep MARA right now, if I would keep this option until expiration, but what would happen? I would make an additional $150 in three days. This means that now my premium per day is only $50 per day. This doesn’t make sense to me because this here is actually bad, because my plan was to make $156 per day, and I was able to make $179 per day by buying the options back. If I would hold on to this trade and let it expires worthless. So this is where here, and let it expire worthless, right? This is what would happen. I would make an additional $150 in three days and the premium per day would only be $50. That does not make sense to me at all. This is why here in MARA, it made sense to buy back the put option because by doing so, it frees up buying power meaning that now I can sell more puts. So the idea here is that I’m selling more puts and making more money on the new puts than I would make holding on to MARA. DKS Example Let’s go over another example with a position I have right now with DKS . I sold the 66 strike on March 10th. I sold 15 of them and I received $75 in premium. 15 contracts times $75 comes to $1,125. So let’s do the math right now and see if it makes sense to close this trade today (March 17th) or if we should keep it, and we’re using very similar logic here. So we sold the 66 put expiring March 19th, and we received $75 per contract for it, $1,125 total. We then divide this by 9 days to get to our premium per day, which is $125. So right now, on March 17th, let’s see how much DKS is still worth. Right now, the bid/ask for DKS is $0. 05 over $0.10, and that’s really interesting because I want to buy it back at $0.07. Let’s say right now, if I would place an order right now, I could buy it back at $0.10. Should I do it? If I did this, I would make $75, minus $0.10 ($10 per contract), which is $65 per contract. For all 15 contracts, I would make $975. We find our PPD by dividing $975 by 7 days, which comes to $139. So if I really wanted to, and if I needed to free up some buying power, I could do this. But let’s see what happens if we hold this for a few more days. So if we hold DKS until expiration, we can make an additional $150. It might actually make sense to close it out because $150 over the next three days does not make a lot of sense. When I looked at the option earlier, DKS suddenly jumped from 78 to almost 79. This is a 10% jump in 30 to 45 minutes. When we opened this morning, first, we went down, and then we went a little bit up, and then we were hovering right around where we opened. Earlier this morning, the DKS put was trading at $0.25. So the question is earlier this morning, would it have made sense to close it? Earlier today on March 17th, I could have bought it back for $0.25. So that wouldn’t have made sense, right? Because then if I’m buying it back for $0.25, I would only make $0.50. So this here, $0.50, this is then $750 in seven days, and if we divide $750 by 7 days, this is $107 premium per day. As you can see, the $107 premium per day is less than what I expected. If I would hold DKS to expiration, we can make an additional $0.25, $25 times 15 contracts is $375. Now, if you take the $375 in 3 days, that would be $125 premium per day. So when I’m getting $125 premium per day, this is when it does not make sense to sell it just yet. Should You Take Profits Early? So this is the important thing because the question always is, do you take profits early, or hold until expiration? Well here’s my formula for this. So I want to give you a very specific formula that you can use if you want to. If the current realized premium is a premium per day, PPD, is larger than the planned PPD, this means close it out early. If the remaining premium per day is smaller than the planned premium per day, close it. Only if the current realized premium per day is smaller than the planned premium per day, in this case, hold it. If the remaining premium per day is larger than the planned PPD in this case, you want to hold it. Summary This is why today I wanted to show you my formula for when to take profits on options, especially when you are an options seller. You see, selling options and receiving premium is what we do with The Wheel Strategy, and the most important metric here is the premium per day (PPD). This where using the PPD, you can actually get down to a formula of when exactly you should buy or sell. This is where it’s just a good rule of thumb if you don’t want to do all these calculations. So the rule of thumb is I close a trade when I can realize 90% of the maximum profits.

The japan titans & worldwide investors have made up their mindAnother idea on the yen which is waking up from its slumber of uncertainty, its 3 years slumber 😴. Which allows me to activate my crystal ball & predict the future. Hey I even threw an indicator in here, some nobs like them, it pops out but maybe not everyone sees it, the yen is breaking with conviction for the first time since December 2016. If you don't get what this means just keep reading. Back in 2016 the stock market was stagnating, George Soros kept shorting it, many funds were shorting it, the JPY had a major decline after a choppy uptrend then some sideways, and after the big very visually noticeable Yen decline, the US stock market had this big big rally for all of 2017 that Trump kept throwing at everyone. This should clarify things, if it doesn't well contact me to get roasted for free 😀: If you zoom in in 2016 you even get the same shadow from all the useless parasites stat-arbing this BoJ next meeting 18 or 19 March, rate going to stay the same for sure, continuing to boost the economy, really boosting the Wall Street hedge fund industry economy. As a conclusion, perma-bears are going to get laughed at again on CNBC Squawk Alley and other intelligent programs. Poor Peter Schiff. Nouriel Roubini the great nobel prize is recommending to short since 700 points LOL it's going to 5k soon. The boy that cried wolf is coming soon, no one is going to listen to any warnings, they must be sick of uncertainty & fear and more convinced than ever.

Why Most Traders Lose Money — Here Are The Top 3 ReasonsI’m Markus Heitkoetter and I’ve been an active trader for over 20 years. I often see people who start trading and expect their accounts to explode, based on promises and hype they see in ads and e-mails. They start trading and realize it doesn’t work this way. The purpose of these articles is to show you the trading strategies and tools that I personally use to trade my own account so that you can grow your own account systematically. Real money…real trades. Anyone that has been around the markets and trading for any period of time has probably heard that most traders lose money. In fact, there’s actually an old trading adage that says: 90% of new traders will lose 90% of their account within 90 days. So after reading that, before you reach for your broker’s phone number to wire out all of your money… how about I let you in on a little secret: If you follow some simple rules and avoid these 3 mistakes, you can be in that minority of traders that actually make money consistently in the markets. And if you are currently making one or all of the mistakes, I’ll also show you exactly how to fix it. So let’s dive in! 1) Most Traders Enter A Trade Too Late The first thing on my top 3 reasons why traders lose money is: Most traders get into trades WAY too late! There are a lot of reasons this happens, but most commonly it’s because new traders are basically gambling. They’re buying stocks or options based on news, or a hot stock tip, which really isn’t what I would consider a strategy. So let me give you a great example with a company I’m sure you’ve heard of: Uber Technologies (Yes, enemy #1 for taxi drivers worldwide.) Last year UBER , known for its popular ride-sharing and food delivery services, IPO’d in May (2019). With the disruption this company caused, their IPO had a lot of hype surrounding it, bringing a lot of investors to the table. On the day of their IPO, UBER opened at $42/share and people poured into the stock. For a few weeks, the stock had a turbulent, roller coaster of a ride all the way to as high as $47.08/share, a little over a 13% increase since its IPO. And around this new high, more and more inexperienced retail traders piled in thinking that it would continue its bullish run with dollar signs in their eyes. The mainstream media was continuing to hype it and more and more and investors and traders gobbled up more of the stock. Looking at the image below, you’ll see after that high of $47 things got UGLY fast, with UBER falling day-after-day, week-after-week. It wasn’t until November of 2019, about 7 months after their IPO that UBER found a temporary bottom at $25.58, down more than 45% from its high of $47.08… and I would bet there were a LOT of people who bought near or at the highs and were still holding at that point. So what did retailer traders do when UBER made a bottom? Yes, once again most (losing) retail traders didn’t get in at, or even around the bottom… once again, they piled as UBER neared its previous highs. And as you’ll see yet again, UBER rolled over on its way to making another new all-time low this past March 2020 going all the way down to $13.71/share. That’s more than a 70% decrease from its ATH and yes, I’m sure some investors rode it all the way to the bottom. Now I want to share a second example with you, so let’s take a look at Amazon AMZN . So as you know, AMZN is a HOT STOCK and last year it has a crazy move where it crossed $2000/share…. and yes, just like our example with UBER , inexperienced retail traders piled in at the very top. Once again, in the weeks that followed, AMZN’s stock tanked leaving those who’d piled in dazed and confused, now holding onto sizable losses. So as you can see, the first of my top 3 reasons most traders are losing money is simply because they’re piling in way too late in a stock’s move, generally near a high. Now on to reason number 2: 2) Most Traders EXIT Too Late Yes, as you can imagine if people are getting in too late, well, they’re also typically getting out too late as well. So let’s talk about why this happens. Why do retail traders tend to hold onto trades way too long, either turning a small loss into a BIG loss or sometimes even more painful, turning a winner into a loser? Let’s take a look at another example with an UBER competitor, LYFT . Like UBER, LYFT also had its IPO in 2019, opening up at $87.24/share… but that didn’t last long. In less than two months, LYFT went as low as $47.17… and what do you think those who bought during the IPO are saying right about now: “Oh, I’m holding it because IT WILL TURN AROUND!” This is generally where I see traders get religious Instead of ‘taking their medicine’ and getting out when the trade moved against them, they held on and are now pleading and praying the stock will turn around. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but ‘hope’ is not a strategy… at least not one with a winning trading record. Now on to number three in our list of top reasons why most traders lose money: 3) They Don’t Have A Trading Strategy As you’ll see, I’ve saved the best for last as this one alone can help fix or eliminate the other two we just discussed. So first, let’s answer this question: What Is A Trading Strategy? Well, a trading strategy gives you three key pieces of information you need before ever entering a trade: 1) It tells you WHAT you are trading. Is it stocks, options, futures, cryptocurrencies? This is answered in your trading strategy. 2) It answers when you ENTER a trade. 3) It answers when you EXIT a trade and that’s exiting with a profit or loss. Now, let’s take a look at an example here using TSLA on how I make trading decisions. I like to look at three different indicators, that when in alignment, give me a clear signal to go long or short a stock or ETF. As you can see on the charts, back in December of last year (2019) my indicators gave us a long signal on TSLA at around $370/share. And the indicators told me we were good to go until around $850/share. All I had to do is let the indicators tell me when to get in and when to get out… no guessing, hoping or praying. Summary So as you can see, there’s actually no big secret to why most traders are losing money. It’s actually pretty simple to see and correct, but it takes a plan and a little bit of discipline. If you’re brand new and not sure where to get started, I’ve written The PowerX Strategy, a book that outlines my EXACT trading strategy for trading stocks and options.

How I’ve Improved Productivity in My Trading DayI’ve been trading for a long time, and over the years, I’ve learned different ways to make the most of my time. Today, I want to talk about three ways I boost productivity in my trading day: - Using my PowerX Optimizer to quickly scan for long and short trading ideas. - Using my Wheel Income Calculator to find attractive premium collecting ideas. - Having a trading plan and following that plan. In this article, I’m going to break down each one of these and explain what they are. I’ll also explain how they help me streamline my trading. This gives me more time to focus on other things I’m interested in, like my business and real estate. 3 Pillars To Trading I always say there are three pillars to trading: - You need to have a trading strategy. - You need to have the right tools. - You need to have the right mindset. For me, I trade two strategies: PowerX and the Options Wheel. And I developed my own software tools to help me trade these strategies quickly and efficiently. The PowerX Optimizer software shows me what I should trade, when I should enter, when I should exit based on my preferred criteria, and my Wheel Income Calculator tells me which option strike has the best risk/reward. If trading software doesn’t show me this, it’s not allowing me to make the best use of my time. Let’s take a closer look at these software programs, starting with the PowerX Optimizer. PowerX Optimizer With my PowerX strategy, I’m looking to buy calls on stocks trending higher or buy puts on stocks trending lower. The PowerX Optimizer is a software I programmed for myself, my head coach Mark, and my son. A few years ago, we made it available to everyone. This software answers the three questions I’m looking to have answered when I’m looking for stocks - What to trade. - When to enter. - When to exit. The PowerX Optimizer will answer all three of these questions for you. Now, I had the software programmed for myself because I wanted all my criteria in one place. With the PowerX Optimizer, I can scan for my basic criteria that I set within the software. For instance, I want to see a 60% return on investment over the past year, I also want to see stocks that are between $5 and $200, and I want a profit factor higher than 3 and a risk/reward higher than 2. This is the criteria I use for trading this strategy. Your criteria may be different. The scanner finds the best stocks and options for me based on my criteria. I certainly don’t want to just stumble across a stock or trade everyone on TV is talking about. Worst case scenario, if nothing meets my criteria, I simply move on. Every day this scanner produces a list of stocks that I potentially want to trade — in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee! Talk about a time saver! In the beginning, I would just use charting software like TradingView, and I would go through a bunch of stocks every day to see if they met my criteria. It got to the point where I figured there had to be an easier way, which is why I had the PowerX Optimizer developed Instead of spending hours and hours sifting through charts and doing the math, I’m able to find a handful of stocks to look through every day in just minutes. This frees up my time to focus on other things. The Options Wheel Calculator With my Options Wheel strategy, the idea is to “get paid to wait until you buy the stock.” So I’m looking to sell a put and collect premium, and I want to pick a strike that coincides with the level I would feel comfortable buying the stock. Ultimately, I want to get assigned, and then I’ll look to potentially sell covered calls on the stock. The tool I use to identify stocks and options I want to trade with this strategy is the Wheel Income Calculator. The Wheel Calculator pulls up stocks and tells me the minimum option premium I need to collect to make this trade work for me, and the risk/reward setup for each strike. I have set aside $500,000 in buying power for this strategy. That’s what works for me. It does work with smaller accounts if that’s what you have to work with. That’s why I love these tools. They have made my life so much easier. I’m not just picking a trade based on a gut feeling. Instead, I’m trading with a systematic approach that’s based on data. Remember, I like to trade for SCR Profits. SRC stands for Systematic, Repeatable, and Consistent. Trading Plan And that leads me to the last thing I want to talk about today: having a trading plan. You see, having a trading plan is key to having the right mindset to trade. There are three key parts of a trading plan that I’ve already mentioned, but again, they are: - What you’re going to trade? - When you’re going to enter? - When you’re going to exit — both for a profit and a loss. This is also where those limit and stop-loss orders I mentioned earlier come in handy. Limit orders allow you to tell your broker the price you want to get filled, and if you get that price, you move on. Same with stop-loss orders. You tell your broker what point you want to get out of the trade, and if the stock hits that level, you’re out. This allows you to not be tied to your computer, watching every tick the stock makes and opens up your day to allow you to focus on other things. I cannot stress enough how important it is to be prepared when you’re trading — and to have a plan before you enter a position. So, as you can see, by defining my strategies, I developed tools like the PowerX Optimizer and Wheel Income Calculator to help me find trades quickly and efficiently that work with my rules and my plan. I hoped this helped and I’ll see you at the next one.

Apple shortThe breaking of the purple channel pushes the price down. The formation of a red channel is another sign of the strength of the sellers. The third sign is the increase in volume within the red resistance range. in return The center line of the green channel, which is orange, has usually been strong, and the Trend Magic line has sometimes been a good support line The lower shadow of the one-hour candlestick was large when hitting the resistance of the red descending channel These are also signs of the power of buyers. But the power of buyers seems to be less than that of sellers because the signs of the body are weaker. We can wait a little longer until everything is clear, but in this case we may lose a lot of profits! Apple stock prices will probably go yellow. The range of $ 100 to $ 103 is good to buy, but people who want to take the risk to buy the stock cheaper and of course they may not be able to buy! They can wait until Apple shares hit the bottom of the green channel! Also, if during the first 2 or 3 days of next week and the price manages to break the red downward channel upwards or the price manages to return completely to the purple channel, it is a good time to buy! Personally, I find the yellow route more probable. But for more investments, I am waiting for the market to determine its path better and more!

$UAMY Announces Receipt of Warning Letter from NYSE AmericanUnited States Antimony Corporation Announces Receipt of Warning Letter from NYSE American The basis for the Letter is that the Company sold shares of its common stock in a manner that violated Sections 301 and 713 of the Company Guide. Trading in the Company's common stock has been halted since before the opening of trading on Wednesday, February 17, 2021, as NYSE Regulation has assessed these rule violations. The violations relate to two non-underwritten transactions involving the sale of an aggregate of 26,290,000 shares of common stock at a discount to the market price at the time of each transaction, with the first transaction, which closed on February 3, 2021, involving the sale of 15,300,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.70 per share, and with the second transaction, which closed on February 16, 2021, involving the sale of 10,990,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.30 per share. In light of the very close proximity in time of the two transactions and the fact that both transactions involved substantially the same group of purchasers, NYSE Regulation determined that these issuances should be aggregated for purposes of Section 713 of the Company Guide. Together, the two transactions covered approximately 34.4% of the common stock outstanding. Section 301 of the Company Guide states that a listed company is not permitted to issue, or to authorize its transfer agent or registrar to issue or register, additional securities of a listed class until it has filed an application for the listing of such additional securities and received notification from the NYSE American that the securities have been approved for listing. Section 713 of the Company Guide requires shareholder approval when additional shares to be issued in connection with a transaction involve the sale, issuance, or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) equal to 20% or more of presently outstanding stock for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock. As stated in the Letter, the Company failed to submit a completed listing application in advance of the February 16, 2021 transaction to obtain advance approval as required by Section 301 of the Company Guide and also did not obtain shareholder approval for the aggregate issuance of 26,290,000 shares that exceeded 20% of the common stock of the Company outstanding as required by Section 713 of the Company Guide. NYSE Regulation noted in the Letter that, after it became aware that the Company had entered into a purchase agreement in relation to the second transaction, NYSE Regulation informed representatives of the Company that it would be a violation of the applicable NYSE American rules for the Company to close the second transaction without first obtaining shareholder approval . Notwithstanding this clear guidance from NYSE Regulation, the Company went ahead with closing the transaction without notifying the Exchange. The Company has been advised by NYSE Regulation that the Company's common stock will resume trading on the NYSE American following the issuance of this press release and the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the receipt of the Letter, which the Company anticipates will be prior to the open of trading on Friday, February 19, 2021. finance.yahoo.com

Why $DNK stock price surged heavily in november?Why DNK stock price surged heavily in november? What triggered the stock price surge is a report by Chinese media outlet Thepaper.cn saying that 5I5J Holding Group (owner of Danke’s rival Xiangyu) is in takeover to buy Danke. There have been reports that Danke was pursuing bankruptcy, but the company denied those reports on its Weibo account earlier then, according to South China Morning Post. One of the reasons why there is speculation about Danke filing for bankruptcy is due to upfront payments being collected from Danke tenants, but there was a failure to pay the landlords. This is why tenants and landlords protested at Danke offices later. pulse2.com
