Selling Weekly Put Options
"Generating an Extra Pay Day Every Week"
Advantages of Selling Weekly Put Options: ? You will "turn" or use capital more frequently ? Shorter-term positions, and more of them ? Less capital required for each trade
Stocks To Sell Weekly Puts:
If you have a positive short-term view on a stock (Slightly Bullish to Bullish) . . . SELL PUTS.
When to Sell Weekly Puts:
I like Wednesday morning as the best time to sell "weekly's" for 2 ? days.
Selecting the Weekly Put:
Time Decay: Weekly options are only open 8 days and time decay is ferocious the closer to expiration. The closer you sell the put to expiration, the less chance for the position to go against you.
Rich Premiums: Look for stocks with high volatility and rich premiums.
Implied Volatility: For weekly's, 25 is the magic number--looking for Implied Volatility between 25 and 40 (above 55 it gets hairy).
Sell Put Strikes: Sell puts one or two prices out-of-the-money
Liquidity: At least 100 open contracts at the strike price and narrow bid/ask spreads of $.01 to $.05 (at most $.10)
Entering and Exiting the Put Trade:
Enter Sell and Buy-Back Orders at Same Time: Most times, we expect weekly put options we've sold to expire worthless. If you don't want to wait for the option contract to expire, you can enter your "buy back" trade when you enter the "Sell position" with your target price.
Closing a Position: Although the goal is allow our weekly options to expire worthless (good for the seller), don't equate buying back your puts with not having a successful position. You just put cash in your account by doing so.
Anatomy of a Weekly Put Options Trade:
Trade Date: October 22, 2013 Stock: Gilead Sciences (GILD)
