QQQ Simple uncovered Call Option Example

Обновлено
Here QQQ is shown on a 15-minute QQQ chart. I have set up and executed a call option on QQQ.

This is a recap.

The first thing is to plan for the entry area. To do this I set a fixed range for the

volume profile for a couple of days before the trade. Since the trade was on Friday, December

1st, the volume profile began on Wednesday the 29th of November. While the volume profile

may seem complex to look at, I only paid attention to three values- the POC line representing

the price value of the highest amount of trades ( black line) the lower value of the high volume

area ( green line) and the highest value of the high volume area ( red line). The thesis is that

if a trade is taken at the green line with other confirmatory indications such as the fast hull

moving average reversing from a downtrend and the RSI testing the oversold area, that bullish

momentum will push the price to the POC line and perhaps higher if selling pressure from bear

trades do not grow to meet that challenge. The target is the upper line of the boundary of

the volume area while the strike price is the value closest to the POC line.

In this example, the strike price was 390 and the trade was for 10 call options for $ 0.49 each

for a total trade cost of $490. Although the calls expire on Monday December 4th, the trade

was closed when stock price hit the target. The total trade duration was about 2 hours and 10

minutes. The close had an option price of $1.86 yielding $1860 from the inital $490 placed

in the trade. The net profit of $ 1370 represents about $ 450 per hour for the time expended.

The risk with a 20% stop loss is about $100 which is 1% of a $10,000 account.

This is a very simple strategy that can be rinsed and repeated. It can be done with same day

approach or a longer expiration like 5-10 days depending on a trader's appetite for reward

relative to risk, time decay and uncertainties in the market relative to time.
