Understanding Credit Spreads
A credit spread involves selling one option and buying another option of the same class (puts or calls) on the same underlying asset, but with different strike prices or expiration dates. This strategy allows traders to limit their risk while still having the potential to profit from market movements.
In our trades this week, we executed a call credit spread on the $QQQ, which resulted in a win. This means that we sold a call option and bought another call option at a higher strike price, collecting a premium in the process. The goal is for the underlying asset to remain below the strike price of the sold call option until expiration, allowing us to keep the premium received.
Current Status of Pending Trades
As of the end of this week, we have two pending trades on $PLTR put credit spreads and one additional pending $QQQ call credit spread. These trades will be monitored closely as we await their outcomes in the upcoming week.
Conclusion
This week demonstrated the effectiveness of credit spreads, with a perfect win rate achieved on our closed trades. While we have pending trades that could affect our overall performance, the current statistics reflect a strong start to our trading week.
