NEW Options Strategy Lectures (Data-Driven Options Strategies)

New options strategy research uploaded to Data-Driven Options Strategies

Hey Traders!

I am pleased to report that I have completed new options strategy research and have started uploading the lectures to the course:

Learn the New Options Strategy in Data-Driven Options Strategies

The new strategy we're exploring here is the short Iron Butterfly, a short iron condor where the short call and put are at the same strike price.

If you’re unfamiliar with Data-Driven Options Strategies, check out the previous email sent out in September about the first strategy:

New Section Contents:

• Why short Iron Butterflies instead of Straddles

• Basic Short Iron Butterfly results on SPY (30, 60, and 90 DTE)

• P/L simulation graphs explaining position profitability at various points in time

• How time-based management prevents experiencing max trade losses

  • Analysis of historical Iron Butterfly trade losses vs. the max loss potential when implementing time-based management

• How to adjust Iron Butterfly strike prices to structure the trade more advantageously for long-term upward market drift (which increased the historical win rate from 64% to 81%)

  • Three Iron Butterfly strike price setups compared with risk graphs

  • Historical results of these setups on SPY

• Analysis of historical Iron Butterfly trade losses vs. the max loss potential when implementing time-based management

• Strategy results when sizing trades to a percentage of the trading account

• Strategy results when sizing trades to a consistent dollar amount

• and more analysis to come!

The strategy is much more suitable for small account traders, as the current margin requirement for one contract in SPY is $1,500 vs. $7,500 for the Hypergrowth strategy. The worst losses experienced in the new strategy rarely get close to the margin requirement / max loss potential, though it can occur.

For this reason, I recommend an account size of at least $5,000 to trade the strategy discussed in the new lectures.

I can't wait to upload more lectures to provide additional data on this strategy and begin a new section on the short put spread (put credit spread) strategy.

The first batch of recorded lectures will be uploaded throughout this week. I will be out of town from July 20th - 30th and resume research and new lectures when I return.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you in the course!
