EL TRADES OPTIONS

This blog will show my longer term Swing trades using OPTIONS. I use specific income producing option strategies with a DIRECTIONAL BIAS. Having a directional bias is critical in earning more, even from what are generally called income trades such as butterflies and condors. The aim of my strategies is to give me more than a 66% edge and to provide a greater than 80% win rate within that edge. The blog shows you the trades I make and how I manage them. For my directional bias, I use the same EL methodology as I employ in my day trading that you have seen for years in the original ElectronicLocal blog. Read the disclaimer.

Vertical Credit Spreads

Those following the trades in my previous post about Vertical Credit Spreads should see how nice a trade they can be.

The trades went into profit straight away as the market moved in a direction faourable t the spreads, which was the whole idea. However, had I not been nimble enough or been too greedy to take profit, even though the market rallied in subsequent days, there was still profit and time to take them off.

I will be showing more of these very directional trades each week using both vertical credit spreads and broken wing butterflies.
