• probability of success:  69%

10/10/2014 (9:03:56 am, PT)

12/10/2014 (11:22:08 am, PT) LL

sell (to open) 10 January 2015 $190 puts at $1.10

Why did I place this trade?

• SPY was touching the 50 EMA (possible support) [see chart]
• stochastics was near the oversold region [see chart]
• probability of success:  83%

1/9/2015 (6:30:03 am, PT) 

buy (to close) all 10 puts at $0.03

TOTAL NET GAIN:  $1054.98               Success!

The lesson.....

On 12/10/2014 (when I sold my puts at $1.10), SPY was trading between $202.93 and $205.98.
On 1/9/2015 (when I bought back my puts at $0.03), SPY was trading between $203.51 and $206.42.
If, during the same time frame, I had bought 1000 shares of SPY instead of selling put options, I would have broken even.  However, by selling 10 put options, I came out with a profit of $1054.98!  That's why I love to sell put options!

Ratio spread: 

+3 December 2014 $195 puts at $3.70 (long puts)
-6 December 2014 $191 puts at $2.55 (short puts)

Net credit:  $1.40
Cash received:  ($1.40) (3) (100) =  $420

Why did I place this trade?

• top of stochastics (I was slightly bearish) (see chart)
• probability of success was approximately 68%
• potential max profit:  $1620

 

12/17/2014 (10:59:06 am, PT)

sell to close the 3 long puts at $0.48
buy to close the 6 short puts at $0.16

Net CREDIT:  $0.16

It is VERY UNUSUAL to receive a CREDIT when buying back a ratio spread. This gave me a profit that's even higher than my original credit.  That's why I closed the trade instead of allowing the options to expire on 12/19.
