Spread Trading: Ultimate Steady Guide To Grow A Small Option Portfolio

Fantastic video. So much information presented quickly and clearly. Thanks!

very cool

Ramble less teach more

While watching this video I noticed something, The message in your Robin Hood account, it says " upload your bank statement to continue using Robinhood " i mean why? Why Robinhood have to be suck a Dikc.

The spread strategy only requires small amount however, the platform doesn't give permission to trade this strategy having $2k account. What set up am I going to use? DO I need to ask approval from TWS?

Thank you for explaining. it's very helpful as a new option trader.

Wow. This really clarified a lot for me. Thank you.

The minute I started watching this video and noticed that you are using Robinhood as your broker I was done watching.

it's horrible, such gross errors, complete misunderstanding of risk/reward math expectation and the basics of standard deviation.

I love how every video I hear you meantion that you worked for Goldman Sacks😂 it’s hilarious 🤣

I like your presentation s, Henry. You speak so clearly and explains everything so good..

Win 80% and lose 20% of times. But $19 x 8 = is $152 but
$81 x 2 = is $162 a total of - $10 nice business! 😎

I did paper trades with spreads and did pretty good but when I went to start trading I found I couldn't do spreads without margin and couldn't get approval for the higher options without $$$. I was told I had to stay with covered calls or covered put's. Its a real bummer as spreads would be a better options with less capital for newbies

This video was fire information thank you! I will start studying about this more very interesting!

I learned alot of information from this video. Thank you I appreciate it.

Isnt there a bot for trading - to close out an option before it goes into a "loss" ?

I like watching the numbers flicker up and down. 😊

You are set at 2 million, at 2% a year (basically a savings account) your making 40k a year...that's like the median income of families in most states. Here I am just trying to figure out how to make $8000 a yr trading and it seems impossible.

Thank you! very much for your videos. I'm trying to get this to soak in. This will help me make enough to live without stress. Greg

nice strategy...uncle henry 😊😊😊 Thanks again for sharing 👍 👍 👍

@InvestwithHenry Thank you for all you do! I am brand new to this and learned a TON from you. I watched 10+ hours worth of videos before stumbling upon your channel, but your videos are the ones that helped me to understand the best.

With AMC announcing it is going to sell an additional 40 million new shares, is this a good time to go in and sell puts with the goal of getting paid to own shares long term? If so, what kind of theta range should we be operating in with the stock dropping so rapidly?

I have a very small account of $2000 that I am currently operating with and looking to grow big-time. My thoughts are that this AMC announcement may be a good way to start.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Maybe even do a video on this situation and put it in your small accounts playlist?

Thanks again!

Additionally, on the flip side, how would you operate with covered calls in this situation?

Anyone watch m mans account while he was talking? It went up 3 thousand dollars during the duration of just this video

I really appreciate the high level you talk at. I also used to be a geneticist so liked the genetic reference

You use Bollinger Bands. What are your thoughts on VWAP or Keltner Channels as alternatives?

So put credit spread is better.

Interesting way to look at spreads. For me I also love to sell options, but I do it as a cashflow strat from my equity positions, I own a LEAP PUT, and sell covered monthly calls, 3 to 7% per month, and it reduces my risk exposure on my equity by extracting rent from my shares, and every now and again, a nice little pay out.
If you bought a 100k car, you would insure it for arou d 5k per year, same with shares, if you have 100k equity position, it needs to be insured buying a PUT, a leap will cost around 6-7% of your equity position, but you gain around 3 -7% per month selling Covered Calls, the insurance is paid for and my Earnings Ratio is 2 years.
My option strat pays me back my cash, protects my investment, and locks in profit.
I believe my strat is called a "calendar spread"
Choose a stock, buy shares, Buy a LEAP PUT, insurance, and sell Fortnightly/ Monthly Covered Calls cashflow.

Is not much better to do out of money credit spreads that expire same week since they expire worthless faster than 2-3 week ones who can change based on stock price in later weeks?

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

Bollinger is pronounced with a J, not a G it sounds like Bollinjer

Respect to what you do brother but what I would like to see is a live trade where you enter and exit, even if is a 3 or 4 days trade….even a week or a month 😊

Best analogy for Bollinger bands I've ever heard!

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Maria Reyes.

I try to follow you but most of the time you confuse me even more. It appears you just want to speed thru your presentation demonstrating how good you are. The hell with if the audience can't follow you from point a to b to c to.... So us audience like me is left confused. You are just looking for most number of likes and preferably subscriptions. I have tried to rewatch the same but didn't help. So I am moving on to some who can explain better.

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Jennifer Rose.

This was a lot of information and I need to watch a few times but this has been one of the best vids ive seen on credit spreads. Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Not 'anybody' can use spreads. Most people on Robinhood are not allowed to trade spreads.

ffs use dark mode

wait, do u let a put credit spread expire if the price has kept going up away from the strike price?

Thank you

Id like to see more on being able to protect my small upcoming portfolio. Maybe more vids on explaining hedging and ways to use hedging strategies that’s if there is such a thing, with (multiple) ways of hedging since there are multiple option strategies and I’m probably showing how much of a newbie, I am. ❤
But I love hearing how Henry teaches his passion on options 😊

what i do if i’m retarded

How much % would you use in spreads in a small portfolio?

Thanks for the information but man you’re a just a salesman

you need to show how to close these options

quick question, I see you have some options that are at 100% gain, why haven't you sold those positions? I usually set my tolerance to like 50-70% gain to close. Do you just let most of your credit spreads expire if they are in the money?

Is doing credit spreads on SPY or QQQ only with a 40k portfolio smart if you’re trying to scale up your portfolio safely and fast ? Or just go with 10-15 different stocks

Henry, I love Your channel, and the content, I just wish You would put put a lot more content

My put credit spread short call is 5$ under with 1 day left till expiration yet I’m still down 😕

Why is that ? Love your videos by the way.
