This new free community was built for podcast listeners to connect with myself and guests on the show. 

It operates like a Facebook group but without the distraction, spam, and negativity that comes along with Facebook. 

More importantly is the common purpose which is as follows:

We bring together stock and options traders to create consistent profits in the stock market so that we can achieve financial freedom and create life long income.

If this common purpose resonates with you and you want to connect with myself and other real traders, come join us at www.StockMarketOptionsTrading.net tonight. 

There's even a free app for easy access to a growing community of independent traders who want to focus on finding strategies that work for them to create financial freedom and life long income through trading stocks and options. 

I am personally hanging out over there pretty much everyday and look forward to meeting you. 

Talk to you soon.

We're back with the rest of my discussion with David Sun. So much great options trading insight with our discussions. Be sure to check out the previous episode if you haven't done so already. In this episode we get into how selling out of the money puts isn't necessarily a bullish strategy, managing risk of trading SPX and SPY high probability options strategies, using stop loss orders with options trading, and where on the options chain we like to sell. 

If you found this episode helpful in anyway, could you let me know by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts? Or whichever podcast player platform you use?

Thank you for your support and thanks for listening.

David Sun has a great understanding of options and was featured on TastyTrade's Rising Star series about his approach to options trading. We had a great in depth discussion and I decided to break it into two segments with this episode being the first. 

In this episode, he's going to talk us through the base concepts of the TastyTrade style of options trading which leads us into a discussion around being delta neutral and what that means for your portfolio. 

You won't want to miss the next episode  where we dive into specific strategies David trades with SPY put selling as well as where we hang out on the options chain.

Here's a link to David's TastyTrade Rising Star segment:

Have a small trading account but thinking about trading options?

You're in luck as this episode shows how trading TLT bull call spreads the past 5 years made over 600% and is perfect for small trading accounts. 

The bull call spread strategy discussed here is also known as an in out debit spread. An in out debit spread is a vertical spread where the option you buy is in the money and the option you sell is out of the money. In out debit spreads are great for beginners with small trading accounts who want to get directional but not have to pay as much to get in a trade.

This episode includes a 5 year backtest of TLT buying in out debit spreads with about 30 days to expiration only if the 21 day exponential moving average is above the 50 day simple moving average. The exit parameters have a target of a 25% gain or a time stop loss of closing the trade about 3 weeks later, whichever comes first.

The backtest software shown in this video for in out debit spreads is CML Trade Machine Pro.

I learned a lot from this great discussion with Brian Terry CFP.

Brian shared his conservative covered call strategy where he is selling in the money calls on stocks using weekly options with the intent of getting called away every week.

I've known Brian for a couple years now and I know he leans on the conservative side of trading and he thinks this strategy is great for conservative traders in retirement. 

It's an interesting twist on strategy used to create additional income. 

Brian runs a Facebook group dedicated to this strategy.

Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/742852742909259

You can also find him on Meetup.com where he runs a monthly Zoom meeting where he and others share various options strategies that are working.

Index Options Explained

To receive the free Index Options Mini Course, go to https://OptionsTrading.help/IndexOptions and I'll send you the 7 part video series to get your trading profitably on your own in as little as 1 week. 

The 7 part video series includes a weekly options strategy for SPX showing you exactly how to put this trade on every week. It also includes a 5 year performance look back so that you fully understand what to expect when trading this profitable strategy. 

As mentioned in this episode, the 3 main reasons to consider trading index options over stocks or ETF options are because they are cash settled, there is no assignment risk and therefore no early assignment risk, and preferential tax treatment so that you can keep more of your profits when the tax man comes. 

Thanks for listening and I'll talk to you soon.
