Weekly Options - Trading Weekly Credit Spreads

By Ted Nino


Weekly Option traders widely use this weekly options as one of their best strategies. Aside from it being one of the simplest and easily understood strategy for option trading, most people that are new to option trading find it quick to manage as well. It only requires them a short time to manage it during its usage. Hence, credit spread traders need not to turn on their personal computers just to keep watching out the stock market all of the time yet they can still generate a consistent income with the trade.

Also, take note of the vertical spread. It is one of the important aspects of a number of option spread strategies such as the iron condor, the butterfly spread, and the double diagonal. The usual thing for most beginners in weekly options trading is to head through this approach right after they have ascertained the options and have decided to buy straight calls and puts, then covered calls, and then debit spreads.

The reason why weekly options traders would opt selling these vertical spreads is that when they are correctly invested, the success rate will be great and the investors can still continue to have their profit and 'win' without necessarily following the direction and movement of the price. If credit spreads are suitably sold, the trader could still gain their expected monthly profit even if the person putting the trade is not correct with their prediction of the direction where the stock market is heading next.

For instance, one of our traders seem to be bearish on the stock XYZ. And then let's assume that XYZ is recently trading high and our trader anticipates that the stock market will stay the same over the next couple of weeks. And then the trader trades a bear call spread. This is a call option vertical spread that works well in a neutral to bearish scenario.

If the stock does move down as our Weekly Options trader anticipates, this spread trade wins. If the stock does absolutely nothing and just remains trading at it's current level, this trade wins. If the stock moves up which means that the prediction of our trader is wrong, the trade can still win. This is only if the stock market doesn't move at a faster rate. With our trader's best handling of situations, this trade can still make profit even for a fact that it could certainly lose when the stock market moves up too high and too fast.
