I BTC'ed the short put for $3.96, which I STO'ed for $2.72, so I took a $1.24 loss. I then STO'ed a 4x 115 call for $2.27. As long as CVX trades...
Made my first trade today! I entered a 4x Oct CVX 120/115 bull put spread for $206/contract. My reward/risk is 70.6%, and my break-even is...
Should I look at the vol smile, and write the puts that have the highest IV, and short the shares to hedge?
Where on earth do you live where ciggies cost $14.50/pack?! And yeah, Squillie informed me that trade was stupid. The new one has a much lower...
I wonder...is there any spread screener that can look for bull put spreads where the net credit exceeds the difference in strikes? Then it'll make...
So, what would you recommend? The 120 put is trading at $2.42, and the 115 put is asking $0.66. So the max profit for a 120/115 bull put...

If it wasn't a good strategy, why is it recommended for conservative trading styles? Say what you want to mean.
Writing puts is a good way to make consistent income. Just make sure the underlying is a solid company with good prospects. If you're assigned,...
Why would anyone do a buy-write on a non-dividend-paying stock when you can write puts? Isn't that an equivalent strategy?
How is a bull put spread death-equivalent? Limited risk, limited profit. What about gamma scalping a long straddle around earnings?
Why not? It sounds sound.
That's why I'be been selling it off bit by bit over the months. Now, I have a strong aversion to keeping large amounts of uninvested cash, so I've...
I do. I have $20,000 worth of HYG shares sitting in it. After my rent, medication, ad, grooming, cell phone, and internet bills were paid, I...
Once again, I plan to keep my current job (yes it is a job), and use that $20K to do conservative option writing strategies and earnings...
