Option strategies for rookies

Cash-Secured put

The setup:

Sell a put, strike price A

Keep enough cash on hand to buy the stock if the put is assigned

Generally, the stock price will be above strike A

***

You own the stock

Sell a call, strike price A

Generally, the stock price will be below strike A

***

Protective Put

Generally, the stock price will be above strike A

***

Collar

You own the stock

Buy a put, strike price A

Sell a call, strike price B

Generally, the stock price will be between strike A and strike B

Option selling process

1. I will trade NIFTY200 QUALITY 30 and NIFTY100 QUALITY 30 stocks.

2. I will identify fair value using investing.com

3. I will sell OTM cash-secured puts if the strike is less than 20% of fair value (at .8*fair value as I am looking for a 25% upside) or if I notice any strikes below the 20% of fair value I will pick the far strike to sell.

4. I will pledge gilt, money market and liquid funds to get the margin.

5. If the option is in the money at expiry, I will buy the put option and will unpledge the funds and buy the stock from the market.

6. If the stock is in the portfolio, I will again sell the covered call at a strike equal to Fair value*(4/3). If I do not find a strike I will sit tight.

7. If the option is in the money at expiry, I will buy the call option (I have to check if I have enough cash to purchase the option)

8. I will never sell a covered call for less than the buy price if the stock price drops.

9. I will only do cash-secured puts and covered calls. Basically a wheel strategy.

Trailing stoploss

I am planning to apply trailing stop loss on my positions.

For new buys, I can place a stop-loss at 20% but every week I have to check the price.

I have placed SL using GTT and if the trigger price is more than 21% I will adjust it to 20% daily.

Example:

Buy Price: 100

SL placed during buy: 80

Week1:

Price of stock: 85

SL for the week: 68

SL will not change in GTT order since 60<80.

SL remains 80

Week2:

Price of stock: 102

SL for the week: 81.6

SL will change in GTT order since 81.6>80

The new SL order is 81.6

Week3:

Price of stock: 125

SL for the week: 100

SL will change in GTT order since 100>81.6

The new SL order is 100

Week4:

Price of stock: 150

SL for the Week: 120

SL will change in GTT order since 120>100

The new SL order is 120

Week5:

Price of stock: 180

SL for the Week: 144

SL will change in GTT order since 144>120

The new SL order is 144

Week6:

Price of stock: 145

SL for the week: 116

SL will not change in GTT order since 116<144.

SL remains 144

Week7:

Price of stock: 190

SL for the Week: 152

SL will change in GTT order since 152>144

The new SL order is 152

Week8:

Price of stock: 150

SL for the Week: 120

SL will not change in GTT order since 120<152.

The price of the stock is 150 < SL so the stock is sold.
