In this episode, I discuss something about vertical spreads that options education books typically don't include. We'll explore comparing buying a single call option vs. buying a long call spread aka. bull put spread through the lens of trading strategy.

The primary point is that there is a level of consistency with vertical spreads over single options in that the cost of the spread is relatively the same over time whereas the cost of the call can vary due to volatility. This can make it harder to allocate a consistent amount of capital to a strategy.

The downside with vertical debit spreads of course is that you gaining consistency but at the cost of capping your upside gains if the market moves heavily in your favor.

In this week's episode, I spoke with Sam Silverman from https://relocatepuertorico.com/ where he explained the tax incentives for living in Puerto Rico for both business owners and investors and traders like. 

As a trader or investor, paying 0% on capital gains can be a game changer as we know but and also work for anyone who works remotely who is running their own online business. 

Hope it helps.

In this week's podcast, I talk about how to hedge your stock or option portfolio with unit put options. Also known as units or unit puts. Unit put options are options that have very little value as the options market is unable to price them properly which allows them to explode in value during a market correction. 

I'll share how i am implementing this hedging strategy in my portfolio using SPX put debit spreads and will share how these performed during the COVID stock market crash of 2020.

Lee Spaziano is a data scientist and long time options trader and in this episode we discuss how we are working together to combine these two fields to take advantage of SPX's multiple expirations per week to increase our frequency of high probability trades. We discuss how we acquired tons of SPX intra-day options pricing and Lee discusses how he was able to organize this data so that we can run queries and backtests on by opening and closing short terms trades throughout the day.

We're back with the rest of my discussion with David Sun. So much great options trading insight with our discussions. Be sure to check out the previous episode if you haven't done so already. In this episode we get into how selling out of the money puts isn't necessarily a bullish strategy, managing risk of trading SPX and SPY high probability options strategies, using stop loss orders with options trading, and where on the options chain we like to sell. 

If you found this episode helpful in anyway, could you let me know by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts? Or whichever podcast player platform you use?

Thank you for your support and thanks for listening.

David Sun has a great understanding of options and was featured on TastyTrade's Rising Star series about his approach to options trading. We had a great in depth discussion and I decided to break it into two segments with this episode being the first. 

In this episode, he's going to talk us through the base concepts of the TastyTrade style of options trading which leads us into a discussion around being delta neutral and what that means for your portfolio. 

You won't want to miss the next episode  where we dive into specific strategies David trades with SPY put selling as well as where we hang out on the options chain.

Here's a link to David's TastyTrade Rising Star segment:

You can also connect with him at TheTradeBusters.com where he's posted some written essays around options trading as well as some strategies and backtests. 

Thanks for listening.
