COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this CSP on > TQQQ
This trade begins as a (0) 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 $1750 which is 4.49% on money invested
Further commentary as to why I opened this trade >
TQQQ (3x leveraged ETF to Nasdaq) > Feeling the markets have bleed DEEP this week and I am going to be assigned TQQQ shares at $42 come monday for another trade... lets reduce our cost basis on the 2 assignments ... if assigned these shares I will then get assigned monday another set of shares at $42 ... my cost will be $41.50
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 $1750. 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 $1.7 (hypothetical based on the trade numbers at the time of this post) so that would be $1.75 for trade #1 and $1.7 for trade #2 which would equal (these being the same timeframe for each) $3.45 in the same timeframe (that means, if this OPEN CSP trade is 1 week and are assigned the shares, the CC projected premium is for the same 1 week, so on)
> 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.
