Hedging my portfolio...

Discussion in 'Trading' started by TimtheEnchanter, Apr 10, 2021.

  1. I have a portfolio of spyg, spyd, spyv with some covered calls. (I do not have covered calls on spyg). I am expecting a correction but I do not wish to sell. What is the best/cheapest way to protect? I am looking to buy UVXY...
     

  2. Sell

    Sell calls and buy puts. You can also buy put spreads instead of calls.

    Or, you can sell your covered calls at a higher delta and keep rolling them until the market corrects.

  7. You could sell micro e-mini S&P contracts, one per every $20K you're trying to hedge. Direct hedge against your current positions, no drag like options.
     
  8. Overnight

    There's no such thing as a micro e-mini. There is the full, the e-mini, and the e-micro.

    Please get that correct.

    Learn to hedge properly. Attend a seminar.
     
    • Why not post to ET?
    • This is a trading forum.
    • Seminars are so 1990's.
