Low Volatility Option Strategy


Low Volatility Options Strategies

Market is in very narrow range. April is generally low volatility month. In such scenario Long Option Traders tend to loose money day by day. Here we present some option strategies for this type of lack luster market.

Low volatility options trading strategies you can use:

Short Puts and Calls – This is the main strategy we use here and by far the most profitable. It’s cheap and you don’t have to enter multiple options making it an easy trade for beginners. With short options you can move your strike price far from the current market forcing the market to make dramatic moves in short time period. You also have positive time decay since you collect the premium up-front and let the option expire worthless at expiration.




   Short Strangle – A combination of short Puts and short Calls. Again a great risk reward type trade because you collect an up-front premium and let the options expire worthless in a flat market.

Long Butterfly Spread – Very complicated and complex option trade. No recommended for beginners! This is a great strategy with limited risk but you have to be dead on in your analysis of where the stock will close at expiration. Sure the risk is capped but if your not right at expiration there’s a 100% chance you will lose money.

OPTION CALL PUT TRADING


KEYS TO SUCCESS IN OPTION CALL PUT TRADING
1) Don’t Average There is a reason for the expression that ” the trend is your friend.”  Don’t fight it and most of all Don’t assume that it will turn itself around. Averaging down into a losing trade is a sure way to lose your money.
2) Trade when the market goes up and when it goes down. Most traders know how to buy calls. They know how an when to buy  when they believe that the market will go up. But there is an equal amount of money to be made when it goes down. You have to be comfortable investing in both calls and puts. Again look at the trend and if it reverses get out of the trade.
3) Trade logically. Fear based trading is a sure way to lose money. Fear creates paralysis. It keeps you from pulling the trigger and getting out of a trade.
4)Trend: The objective of successful options strategies is to create profit. It is opposite of what many believe. You are not there to buy low and to sell high, but to buy high and to sell higher, or to sell short low and to buy lower. Look at the trend.
5) Sell markets that show the greatest weakness; buy markets that show the greatest strength. Again look at the trend. You are not here just to buy into strong markets. You are here to make a profit either way.
6) Trading is not compulsory:You do not have to be in a trade all the time. There are times when the markets are flat or in a sideways trend. This is not the time to enter a trade. Stay out of the market!
7) No one can predict the market. Your options strategies should always include entry and exit points. Have a stop loss point in mind for each trade before you enter it. This is where most people get it wrong. You must be willing to put exit points in and stop losses as well.
You will win many trades but you will also lose some. No one is infallible. The main thing to remember is that you must trade long enough and minimize your losses enough to continue trading for those big winning trades.
