HOW TO TRADE OPTIONS IN BEAR MARKET

Bear markets reflect slowing economic growth and corporate financial problems. Fearful traders panic and dump their holdings at a loss, which pushes stock prices down further and ignites a fresh round of selling. Investors can use several bear-option strategies to profit from a market-wide selling frenzy.

Buying put options is a straightforward bear strategy with low risk/high reward potential. The goal is for the stock price to drop below the put option strike price so the option is in the money prior to expiration. The amount of risk is limited to the option price plus the commission. For example, a stock is trading at 45rs a share. You buy an out-of-the-money put with a strike price of 40rs for 3rs multiplied by the 100 stock shares one option controls, for a total cost of 300rs. You profit when the stock trades below 40rs a share before the option expires.

Trading bear put spreads limits your loss while providing a good return. The trade works by buying an in-the-money put and simultaneously selling an out-of-the-money put. The maximum profit is reached when the stock closes below the out-of-the-money put prior to expiration. The maximum loss is the amount you pay to enter the trade plus commission.

Looking at another example, a stock is trading at 28rs a share. You buy an in-the-money put with a strike price of 30rs for 20rs and simultaneously sell an out-of-the-money put with a strike price of 25rs for 17rs, for a net debit of 300rs (20rs-17rs=3rs x 100=300rs). If the stock price remains below the 25rs strike price of the short put at expiration, your profit is the difference between the strike prices minus the cost to enter the trade: Strike prices of 30rs – 25rs = 5rs x 100 = 500rs minus the net debit of 300rs = 200rs profit less commission.

Collect money upfront by trading a low-risk bear call spread. The profit is the premium paid by buying out-of-the-money calls while simultaneously selling in-the-money calls. The out-of-the-money calls act as insurance in case the market moves against you and limits your loss to the difference between the strike prices less commission.

For example, a stock is trading at 27rs a share. You buy one 30rs out-of-the-money call for 100rs and sell one 25rs in-the-money call for 200rs for a net credit of 100rs less commission. As long as the stock price remains below the 30rs higher strike price, you have a profit.

TIP

One option controls 100 stock shares, so multiply the put or call option price times 100 to get the total buy or sell cost.

WARNING

Bear markets have brief rallying periods before continuing their downward march. Monitor your option trades and have an exit strategy in place.

HOW TO AVOID THE TOP 5 MISTAKES NEW OPTION TRADERS MAKE

1: Starting out by buying out-of-the-money (OTM) call options

It seems like a good place to start: buy a call option and see if you can pick a winner. Buying calls may feel safe because it matches the pattern you’re used to following as an equity trader: buy low, sell high. Many veteran equities traders began and learned to profit in the same way.

2: Using an “all-purpose” strategy in all market conditions

Option trading is remarkably flexible. It can enable you to trade effectively in all kinds of market conditions. But you can only take advantage of this flexibility if you stay open to learning new strategies. Buying spreads offers a great way to capitalize on different market conditions. When you buy a spread it is also known as a “long spread” position. All new options traders should familiarize themselves with the possibilities of spreads, so you can begin to recognize the right conditions to use them.

3: Not having a definite exit plan prior to expiration

You’ve heard it a million times before. In trading options, just like stocks, it’s critical to control your emotions. This doesn’t mean swallowing your every fear in a super-human way. It’s much simpler than that: have a plan to work, and work your plan.

Planning your exit isn’t just about minimizing loss on the downside. You should have an exit plan, period – even when things are going your way. You need to choose in advance your upside exit point and your downside exit point, as well as your timeframes for each exit.

4: Compromising your risk tolerance to make up for past losses by “doubling up”

I’ve heard many option traders say they would never do something: “…never buy really out-of-the-money options!”, “…never sell in-the-money options!” It’s funny how these absolutes seem silly – until you find yourself in a trade that’s moved against you.

All seasoned options traders have been there. Facing this scenario, you’re often tempted to break all kinds of personal rules, simply to keep on trading the same option you started with. Wouldn’t it be nicer if the entire market was wrong, not you?

As a stock trader, you’ve probably heard a similar justification for “doubling up to catch up”: if you liked the stock at 80 when you bought it, you’ve got to love it at 50. It can be tempting to buy more and lower the net cost basis on the trade.

5: Trading liquid options

Simply put, liquidity is all about how quickly a trader can buy or sell something without causing a significant price movement. A liquid market is one with ready, active buyers and sellers at all times.

Here’s another, more mathematically elegant way to think about it: Liquidity refers to the probability that the next trade will be executed at a price equal to the last one.
