| DETAILS FOR THIS CASH SECURED PUT TRADE | |||||||||
| Today a NEW Cash Secured Put position was opened using Direxion Daily AAPL Bull 2X Shares (ticker: AAPU) when the stock was trading for $20.69 a shares. I sold (10) Cash Secured Put contract(s) using (1000) shares worth of money for the May-18-2025 Expiration Date, $20.37 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $1 of $1000 in upfront cash flow to begin this trade. This would be an (OTM) Cash Secured Put. | |||||||||
| COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE | |||||||||
| WHY I OPENED this CSP on > AAPU | |||||||||
| This trade begins as a (28) day trade where I'm trying to capture anywhere from 1.2% - 1.3% for a weekly Cash Secured Put and 3% or more for a monthly expiration. This trade will make $1000 which is 4.91% on money invested | |||||||||
| Further commentary as to why I opened this trade > | |||||||||
| AAPU ( 2x Leveraged ETF to Apple ) > NOT going to worry about the July 9th tariffs (figuring this is July 18th so that event will pass and not effect this trade) and keeping in mind and Apple's earnings being July 31st ... AAPL's trading range has been very narrow and the BOL BANDS show a bit of compression ... I feel even if the move to the down is to happen, being assigned the shares at $20.37 is the worse things and we can work a 30 day trade at the $20.37 cost basis ... note: AAPU only has 30 day options which I do not like but this is more of a set it and check it later trade | |||||||||
| 2 trade plan (Cash Secured Put + Covered Call) if needed a second trade > | |||||||||
| This trade is , trade #1 ... a CSP for a premium profit of $1000. If this trade expires worthless of I buy the option back profitable later , all good but if I were to be assigned the shares and the stock price in a worse case scenario fell an additional -$0 , I could then do an at my cost basis CCW making a possible $1.25 (hypothetical based on the trade numbers at the time of this post) so that would be $1 for trade #1 and $1.25 for trade #2 which would equal (these being 2 week trades for each) $2.25 in ~2 weeks | |||||||||
| > as with every trade, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself. | |||||||||
