Updated Trading Strategy




Here is my updated trading strategy:
  • Trade high volume, high price stocks
  • Look for the stock to be around the middle of its 52 week trading range
  • High IV rank of 30% or better preferably 50% on up
  • 90% probability of success and at least 1-2 standard deviations away
  • Between 7 and 35 days left till expiration
  • Leg into an iron condor with vertical spreads
  • Collect at least .70 for each trade 
  • Look to close each side at .15 one week later but no longer than 2 weeks later
  • When the stock moves big one way look to close the winning side for a profit and re-deploy another iron condor
  • Always stay at 90% probability OTM (out of the money) when you place your trade
  • Never trade this strategy during earnings – use a different strategy 
  • Use Person’s Pivots (PPS) to time entry
     
*Cash management
Leave $2000 available for options trading so you can fix any situations that go against you or jump on opportunities that may arise
