Spiders (SPY) Ratio Put Spread

2/18/2015 (11:28:03 am, PT)  

+2 March 2015  $209 puts at $3.33
-4 March 2015  $206 puts at $2.34

Reasons for placing this trade:
  • SPY was in the "overbought" region of the stochastics, so I was semi-bearish
  • the $206 puts had a 63% probability of expiring OTM
  • I received an initial credit of $1.35 ($270)

Here's the lesson:
  • As long as SPY continues to rise and closes above $209 on 3/20 (expiration), I get to keep $270.
  • If SPY drops anytime between 2/18 and 3/20, I have the opportunity to sell (to close) my two long puts ($209 strike), take my profits, leave the four short puts "naked" and hope that SPY closes above $206 on 3/20 (exp).

What actually happened:
  • On 3/10/2015, my preset "sell-to-close" order for my two long puts ($209 strike) filled at $3.75.  It was sort of unfortunate because SPY continued to drop.
  • On 3/11, the $209 puts hit a high of $5.72, but I missed out because I had already sold my $209 puts.
  • On 3/20/2015 (expiration), my preset "buy-to-close" order for my four short puts ($206 strike) filled at $0.01.  Hurray!
  • SPY closed at $210.41 on 3/20 (exp), so it's a GOOD thing I had sold (to close) my two long puts on 3/10 and captured an extra $726.

TOTAL NET PROFIT:  $995.66

Success!

Gold (GLD) Feb Bull Put Spread

12/29/2014 (11:59:47 am, PT)

This is a BULL PUT SPREAD (aka credit put spread)

-2 February 2015  $112 puts at $2.45
+2 February 2015  $111 puts at $2.09

Why did I place this trade?
  • stochastics in oversold region (see chart)
  • amount of capital required:  $200


2/13/2015 (6:57:23 am, PT)

buy (to close) the 2 short puts ($112 strike) at $0.04

Why?  
  • stochastics in oversold region (see chart)
  • to remove the risk of losing $$$ in case GLD continues lower and closes below $112 on expiration Friday
  • leaving the long put ($111 strike) open gives me the opportunity to make some extra $$$ if GLD plunges in the next 7 days


2/20/2015 (expiration)

GLD closed at $115.28 (see chart)

my long put expired "worthless"


NET PROFIT:  $53.83  (ROC 27% in 7.5 weeks)
