The stock can move up, down or trade sideways and you can still make money at expiration because you\u2019re using time decay to your advantage. Time is always passing, and as the option approaches expiration, the premium will translate into a realized gain since all the time premium will decay as long as the stock doesn\u2019t break through the strike price. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Selling options in high IV Rank scenarios; is ideal as this yields overpriced options hence rich premiums. The main key for options trading success is leveraging implied volatility and implied volatility rank. Since options premium pricing is largely determined by implied volatility, it\u2019s the implied volatility component when used appropriately that provides options traders with an edge. When IV increases, options increase in value, and when IV decreases, options decrease in value. Historically, this predicted volatility always overestimates actual volatility, and it\u2019s this overestimation that can be exploited to the benefit to option sellers. Therefore the value of options contracts are nearly always high relative to what the actual stock move reflects. This overestimation is where options traders can take advantage and sell overpriced options to maximize profits and probability of success. IV Rank is a measure of current implied volatility against the historical implied volatility range (IV low \u2013 IV high) over a one-year period.<\/p>\n<p>Rich premiums can be paid out to option sellers with the expectation that volatility will revert to its mean. The high IV Rank provides rich premium and as the option lifecycle unfolds and this volatility decreases, the option time value implodes, and the option decreases in value allowing profits to be realized earlier in the lifecycle without waiting until expiration of the contract.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ino.com\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/10627.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" alt=\"Options Trading\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<small><em>Figure 4 \u2013 Displaying high IV Rank situations to sell options with rich premium<\/em><\/small> <\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Market liquidity is important because you want to be in a market where there are buyers and sellers and tight bid\/ask spreads so you can readily buy and sell your contracts at correct options pricing. This allows options to be readily purchased and sold across all expiration dates.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ino.com\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/10628.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" alt=\"Options Trading\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<small><em>Figure 5 \u2013 Option chain with great liquidity<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Set your probability of success; if want to win 70%, 80% or even 90% of your trades, you can do that as you set your probability of success when it comes to options over the long-term. There\u2019s no edge in stock picking, stocks are a binary event and boil down to a 50:50 probability. In options, we can set the probability of success in our favor and in combination with option selling and high IV Rank, this set-up allows rich premiums to be paid out in with a high probability of success. Using Facebook as an example, we can see that the traded at $178 per share and 1 month into the future, there\u2019s an 85% the stock will not trade below the $160 strike price thus allowing the premium to be captured, and profit realized.   <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ino.com\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/10629.jpg\" width=\"574\" height=\"480\" alt=\"Facebook\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<small><em>Figure 6 \u2013 Setting probability of success<\/em><\/small> <\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Managing winning trades is vital to optimizing overall success rates. You want to realize profits in the event the option potentially moves against you late in the option life-cycle. Using Citigroup (C) as an example, let\u2019s say on the 20th of March, you sold a one month covered call at a strike of $67 when the stock traded at $65 \u2013 at the end of March\/Early April, the stock showed weakness and dipped down to ~$60 providing an opportunity to buy-to-close to realize a profit. However, if you waited, and as expiration of the 20th of April rolls around, the stock exploded higher to $70, breaking through your strike price of $67 forcing you to relinquish the stock or taking a loss on the option itself (Figure ). Manage winners before expiration to avoid any potential of the stock moving against you late in the option contract to realize profits and maximize success rates. You can see here through roughly 200 trades; I manage winners between 50%-90% of premium capture (Figure ).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ino.com\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/10631.jpg\" width=\"564\" height=\"480\" alt=\"Citi\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<small><em>Figure 7 \u2013 Example of managing trades prior to the underlying stock moving against the option<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> The number of trades needs to be maximized to have more shots on goal and let the probabilities play out through all market conditions. If you set your probability of success at 85% then over the long-term, you\u2019ll achieve an 85% win rate given enough trade occurrences. If you only place 10 trades, then it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll win 8 however if you place 100 trades or 1,000 trades then the probabilities will play since the number of occurrences is being maximized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> Limit your position sizing to mitigate risk in the event the underlying security moves against you and breaks down. This is accomplished via a diversity of tickers in both stocks and ETFs with diverse sector exposure, limiting any one position to 1-10% of the portfolio and keeping cash-on-hand. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #003380; font-size: 20px;\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>This comprehensive options strategy provides key fundamentals for long-term successful options trading.
