1% Weekly Returns from Options Week 31
Just had my second assignment in 31 weeks - LQDA 58 put. This has increased my loss from assignment a bit. Also everything else is very elevated this week making my trades for next week a bit riskier. I'm treating LQDA as an exception because of the lawsuit results. So instead of assignment price calls, I sold 30 calls for next week and will use aggressive calls to exit. Last week's post: https://www.reddit.com/r/thetagang/s/MtQfDxRrUT
If you want to follow me as I trade, I post to r/TheRaceTo10Million before placing trades and comment with trades as I make them. I post here after I make the trades with a full summary
Strategy
- Use an AI screener to give me a list of top 20 low delta options for next week
- I either
- a. Roll my current options - I do this if I can still get 1% for rolling or if the option is ATM/ITM and I have to roll. I always roll for credit.
- b. Close a current option and pick something else from the list that I like
- I try to do this every Friday. However, if I'm busy on Fridays, I'll sometimes do this on Thursdays.
- If I get assigned, I will sell calls at assignment price.
A lot of people have asked me about why I don't add a criteria to avoid earnings weeks. Like I sold HPE/IREN/NBIS etc. puts across earnings. Also APLD across earnings this week. That's because on earnings weeks the same delta strikes are much further OTM.
