Chart Setup
- Select underlyings with a weekly chart in the middle of wide and flat 3-ART bands
- Close to the 21 EMA
- RSI between 40-60
Trade Mechanics
- Size each trade for maximum initial credit between 1-3% of Net Liq
- This will insure a 1.5X Max Loss < 2% of Net Liq
- Place new Strangle as one comes off and BP is available
- Trades usually hit profit target around 30 DIT
- Spread the underlyings and DTE
Trade Entry
- Aim for 90 DTE (80-100 DTE is OK)
- Sell 6 Delta Calls
- Sell 7 Delta Puts
- Can lower the Delta if need for BP or sizing
Trade Management
- Profit target 50%
- 1.5X Max Loss (Stop Loss at 2.5 times the initial credit)
- Secondary stop is 21 DTE to avoid Gamma risk
- Can close early if you can get a better APR
