This can also be done on SPY.
Trade Entry
- Start trade by Sell 12 Delta Put
- This simulates buying the underlying and selling an ATM call
- Go around 10% lower (50 points lower on /ES) for the second NP Strike
- This is usually around 8 Delta
- Aim for 18-30 DTE
Trade Management
- No profit target
- Let Puts expire
- Optionally, close Puts early if they area 75-90% in a few days
Assignment:
- Take assignment and wheel until taken away
- Take assignment on one or both of the NPs
- If assigned on the higher strike, then well a new ATM weekly covered call against it and also a new NP (20-30 Delta) to make it a covered Strangle
- Depends on your BP allocation how many total contracts you can take
- i.e. The number of times you can do a Covered Strangle for assignment
- If assigned on both and enough BP to take on more contracts, then Sell a new weekly ATM Covered Call against it and also a new NP to make it a covered Strangle
- If not enough BP, then write a weekly ATM Covered Call of the average of the two strikes until called away
