Hello everyone! Recently, the options market has been very volatile, but I used these two advanced strategies and surprisingly achieved stable profits! 🤯 Sharing with you all～
📚 As an options trader with 5 years of experience, I found that the vast majority of people are using the most basic call and put options, while ignoring the powerful potential of combination strategies! Today, I will reveal my two secret weapons: Long Straddle and Iron Condor strategies ⬇️
🔍【Strategy One: Long Straddle】
This strategy is simply a lifesaver in "uncertain market direction"!
✅ How to operate: Buy call and put options with the same underlying asset, expiration date, and strike price
✅ Applicable scenarios: Expecting the stock to fluctuate significantly, but uncertain whether it will rise or fall (for example, the night before major earnings reports or important policy announcements)
✅ Profit model: As long as the price fluctuates significantly (whether up or down), profits can be made
✅ Risk control: Maximum loss is the total premium paid
Real case: Last month, before the earnings report of XX company, I used this strategy, and as a result, the stock price plummeted 15% after the report, my put option value tripled, easily covering the cost of the call option, netting a profit of 2800 yuan! 💰
🦅【Strategy Two: Iron Condor】
This is my secret weapon in a volatile market!
✅ How to operate: Sell out-of-the-money put spreads and out-of-the-money call spreads
✅ Applicable scenarios: Expecting the stock to fluctuate within a certain range, without large ups or downs
✅ Profit model: Time decay + low volatility are your friends
✅ Risk control: Losses have an upper limit, and profits also have an upper limit
You read that right, this strategy can make money even when the stock is almost stationary! Last quarter, during the market consolidation, I used this strategy for three consecutive weeks, achieving a stable return of 8%! 📊
🌟 Tips for beginners:
1️⃣ Start with a small amount of capital (I only used 5000 yuan the first time)
2️⃣ Choose liquid large-cap stocks for testing
3️⃣ Practice on a simulation account 3 times before going live
4️⃣ Strictly set stop-loss limits, controlling single trade risk to no more than 5% of total capital
👉 Options trading may seem complex, but mastering these two strategies will allow you to navigate different market environments with ease! What are your insights on options trading? See you in the comments～
