In Depth Stock Research Using PowerOptions |
Evaluating Criteria Using Stock Research Tools, Adjusting and Sorting Columns & More!
Pat had se...[read more]Evaluating Criteria Using Stock Research Tools, Adjusting and Sorting Columns & More!
Pat had sent us an email prior to last Friday's Open Forum, Q&A session: "I have my favorite stocks that I have used for married puts. I am curious how closely they meet your suggested search criteria for stocks/options (married puts) for PowerOption selections for weekly and monthly married puts. If I just put my favorite stock in the search area, are the criteria for married puts used (and no results returned for my favorite stock if it doesn't meet the criteria)? Is there an easy way to determine which criteria for married puts my stock does not meet?"
1. We introduce the question and take a quick look at the default Married Put criteria in The Search & Sample Search views (0:00 to 4:25)
2. How to determine which Stock filters in the patented Search might be removing your preferred stocks using the Stock Research Tool and adjusting the criteria to see your stock (4:25 to 7:45)
3. What criteria you may need to adjust in our preferred **RadioActive sorted by EPSG filters to see Married Puts on your stocks or your preferred stock list (7:50 to 16:35)
4. Review and Final Thoughts (16:50 to End) [x] |

1. Caleb had asked: "I want to know how to track option price compared to stock price to snipe the best entry at my support and resistance levels"
(0:00 to 16:30)
- Initially we had showed the Option Research tool and how you can compare the historical (end of day) values for Option Price vs. IV, or Stock Price, Black-Scholes, Delta plus other selections and various combinations. This did not get recorded, but it is shown again later.
- We show which criteria in the Long Call or Long Put Search on PowerOptions an options investor might use to look for undervalued options WHILE also setting criteria for stocks that are at or near a bottom or near a top (0:00 to 10:15)
- Review of seeing the price movements of an option on the Research tool compared to other criteria, RSI settings and view and brief % IV Range (10:17 to 16:30)
2. Review on where some of the Strike of Pain values ended this week vs. the stock price and the Strike of Pain values for the basket of stocks are looking at for OCT 18th (16:50 to 26:17)
3. Caleb follow up: "How would you use those same tools for Day Trading options?" (26:20 to 36:20)
- You can...but I personally don't. Just due to the time constraints...
However! We discuss a recent discussion on 0 DTE expiration condors that we talked about a few weeks ago, what I have noticed paper trading those strategies, and how I would look to use the PowerOptions RealTime tools for day trading options based on Caleb's previous questions and other strategies
4. 'Pre-Mature' wrap up (36:54 to 43:20)
5. Last Question: I mentioned Conversion and Reversals in the wrap up, and Caleb asked: "is it still possible to create spreads even if your're not on those levels on your broker" (43:28 to 52:00)
- We discuss the potential for the 'No Risk' Conversions and Reversals, straight line profit and loss charts for small potential profit with the same guaranteed profit in the other direction. We look at the default Conversion search on the patented PowerOptions Search tool, and how even at the worst price some of those trades are still guaranteed profits.

1. We received an email this week from Kirk who is using a specific Chart Pattern and RSI to pick the bottoms of stock movement. Shouldn't he just always buy the stock at that price and then buy the put after the stock moves up? (0:00 to
- We take a look at the XOM example Kurt sent us, compared to the patterns we might look for, a look at a Married Put entered and then rolled vs. Legging in, and concerns of that approach (0:00 to 14:15)
- Then, review what our expectations are when opening a Married Put and the goals and purposes of the structure (and an example of IM #4) (14:30 to 18:15)
- Review of the risks of legging into the Protective Put structure with the help of the Trade Simulator Tool at RadioActiveTrading.com (18:30 to 29:55)
2. Live Q from Jack F: How do you know which Put to buy? Buying the put costs more money so now the stock has to exceed your price and the price of the put...so how do you choose? (30:00 to 49:58)
- We take a look at a Married Put from the default Search criteria, how the put effects the cost of the position and why we are not worried about that until expiration or in a major decline, review of the 3 Core Principles of any options trade. (30:00 to 42:40)
- A look at comparing the cost of insurance for ITM and OTM options, nearer term vs. shorter term to help enforce the 3 Core Principles (42:45 to 49:58)
3. Live from Jack B: By selling closer to the ATM call (ATM Bell Curve) aren't you risking losing the stock that is moving up? (50:05 to 52:20)
- We agree! We review again what our initial expectations are for the Married Put, why we do not sell a call right away and when we might consider selling just a call, Income Method #1
4. 2nd Q from Jack F: I read somewhere that market makers drive the stock price towards a strike price of the option called the Max Pain. How can you make a judgement where the Max Pain price could possibly be? (52:22 to 1:03:55)
- Easiest answer...use the Strike of Pain tool on PowerOptions that is the Max Pain calculation! We review the Strike of Pain tool, how to use it, rough numbers of what we have seen with the Strike of Pain tool (remembered roughly from our last test years ago) and when it is best to use the Strike of Pain value.
5. A look at the 3 day cycles available on GLD and SLV (Mon, Wed Fri) and USO which have a 2 day expiration cycle (Wed, Fri). Look for these to have daily expiration options sometime in the near future... (1:03:58 to 1:05:50)
6. Follow Up from Jack B: Wouldn't it be better to sell the farther out, same expiration call with a 0.30 to 0.35 Delta to lower the risk from the start? (1:06:20 to
- We review our expectations and approach when entering a new RadioActive Married Put, take a look at the Standard Collar approach Jack B mentioned, agree that this is a good, positive, limited risk approach but how it goes against my expectations for a Married Put (1:06:20 to 1:12:00)
- When I would use a Standard Long Collar approach and a trip down memory lane on how I (MikeC@poweropt) moved from Covered Calls to Standard Collars to the Married Put approach with the larger portion of my portfolio - with a quick review of the Table of Contents for The Blueprint (1:12:10 to 1:22:45)

Here is the content from today's discussion:
Mel (vial Email and live): Can you discuss 0-DTE? What it is & how it works? (0:00 to 23:45)
- We talk about what 0 (zero) Days to Expiration positions are, how most approach them, show where to access our recent 2-part discussion on 0-DTE positions (0:00 to 5:20)
- We then look at setting up a Search for 0-DTE Iron Condors on PowerOptions, general approach ideas & pros-cons (risk vs. reward) (5:25 to 19:00)
- Review on strategy, approach, time allocation for 0-DTE positions (19:05 to 23:45)
Mel (live): How would you compare PowerOptions to Options Explorer... (24:00 to 30:00)
- We have never heard of that service, but we discuss a recent email and response we had from another customer asking about PO vs. another service. We point out the benefits and tools on PO, Coaching, Support, Education and more. Scott O and later Kipp L comment in on why the think PO is the best for them even as they have compared against other services
Ram (live): Given increase in volatility how do we manage Deep ITM Puts (in the Married Put strategy) on not so volatile stocks that are now volatile (30:05 to 41:15)
- We take a look at the recent increase in VIX, Ram's position on NVS, discussion on IV with Put options and Income Method #9 and Income Method #4 in The Blueprint (rolling / adjusting the put option)
To Follow Up to Ram: A look at a Historical position in the Fusion Portfolio at RadioActiveTrading.com where we rolled the put down and up, and a look at recent Married Put trades and the trends we look for to apply the Put adjustments (41:30 to 51:20)
Start of a False End & Wrap Up ;) (51:30 to 54:25)
Last Q from Mike E.: When I look at the default Married Put Search I see risks of 6-7% or higher. Where are you finding the risks of 3% as shown in the previous discussion? (54:30 to 1:01:30)
- We discuss the preferred Married Put default criteria from The Blueprint, why those lower risk RPMs do not come up in the preferred Search BUT how to adjust the criteria if you wanted a lower volatility, lower risk Married Put

Ric: "If there's time to cover any best practices for O DTE spreads (Debit vs Credit), pros and cons etc .. I have tried to be accurate on Expected move based on IV / strddles etc,, just trying to find the right way to manage it" (0:00 to 40:15)
First Q in, so we have the time!
We show Ric some previous content on 0 DTE spreads, insight into the Market Sentiment and how this might not relate to 0 DTE spreads necessarily, how we would approach 0 DTE spreads, why we prefer Credit Spreads vs. Debit Spreads in most cases, settings to set up the Search tool for 0 DTE spreads, a little Back Testing on 0 DTE spreads, using the Trade Simulator Tool to help evaluate returns vs. stops or triggers in this approach.
Mike G: "My question is about ATM, OTM, and ITM covered calls. Which one would you recommend for safer trading? Which one do you like to trade the most?" (40:20 to 59:10)
In the Money...no question. Want to know why? Check out our analysis using the PowerOptions tools to compare Downside Protection vs. Assigned Return and Probability. Then, thoughts on allocation if you are considering spreads in your portfolio...
Step Back to take a look at the updated Market Sentiment Tool (59:15 to 1:00:45)
Alessandro: "about covered call . when I sell the call is it correct that the expiry should be weekly? should volatility be high? I understood that I have to sell options with high volatility and buy them when volatility is low. It's correct? What do you recommend if the underlying goes down a lot? thank you very much." (1:00:50 to 1:15:05)
We discuss why the Highest IV, i.e. Highest Return is NOT the Best Covered Call to Enter...and why the Lowest IV is not the Best Call to Buy. Why you need a balance of IV for selling or buying and why you want to avoid the High IV 'Known Event with Unknown Outcome' positions with directional strategies.
Kate: "What education is available from Power Options?" (1:15:07 to 1:20:10)
We discuss the customer support PowerOptions members receive through Coaching Sessions and emails, access to archived webinars and Playlists and our Course products that are available for different strategies.

Questions via Email:
Mel: Can you explain the Rhino Trade? I hear that it has a success rate of 10/12 positions...
- I had to look this one up. Found out it was a Butterfly initially ( or Broken Wing Butterfly), then another Butterfly added on, then potentially a Calendar Spread added to that based on Market movements. Oye.
We break this down as best as we can, point out the pros and cons with the limited insights we have. Discussion on Butterflies, Iron Butterflies, Iron Condors, other Neutral Market trades and over complicating a position (0:00 to 18:30)
- Then we take a step back and discuss the basic structure of a Butterfly position, pros and cons, and what to look out for (18:50 to 35:25)
Q2 Via Email:
David: "I sell Naked Puts / Cash Secured Puts. They normally expire but if they are assigned I sell calls against them or do other management. This week more puts than most are assigned, specifically JMIA. Should I hold, adjust or look for a stock repair. Premiums are know nothing..."
- We take a look at the JMIA position and why the IV fell so much, why a stock repair is not likely (but we have the tools to show it) and what one should consider before opening a new Cash Secured Put or Covered Call (35:50 to 53:30)
Q3 Via Email:
Octavio: "Can you analyze a position I have which is a Synthetic Protected stock position with extra protection?"
- We Break down Octavio's Synthetic Stock + Put to reduce margin + extra Put to simulate a Married Put...or, two to three other ways to look at this 4 leg structure and why you might only need 2 legs to have the same effect (54:00 to 1:13:30)
Live:
Karol asked: "Can you show your Debit Spread Screen? I want to see the best reward to risk if possible?"

Fred: On the Profit and Loss Chart / Custom Spread tool, is there a way to determine a -50% Loss or +50% Gain on the trade in a few days or out in time? We use Fred's META example, a Long 400 strike Call option for OCT expiration. (2:40 to 31:00)
- After a little glitch of the screen not showing (0:00 to 2:40) we take a look at the Profit and Loss chart on PowerOptions for this META call, and how we would use the Calculate feature to find the stock price where this call would be at a -50% Loss or +50% Gain at the halfway point or in a few days after earnings (2:40 to 18:40)
- How these prices might differ with an At the Money Call vs. an In the Money call as Fred has, focusing on the ATM Bell Curve aspect (18:45 to 26:45)
- Using the PowerOptions Portfolio tools to set Alerts for the -50% Loss or +50% Gain (26:50 to 31:00)
2. Ric: Is there a way to sell calls when stock has dexlined below your original cost basis.. is there a way out (or just waiting, that can lose you time). I ask because selling above cost basis may not give you sufficient premium, so trying to understand how can you manage this situation effectively (vs just waiting).. (31:05 to
- Using PSTG as an example (A Married Put in the Fusion Portfolio) we take a look at why selling a call against a stock that is down in price could 'Lock Us Into a Loss' - even selling further out in time and below the cost basis (32:25 to 40:25)
- How the Stock Repair Tool on PowerOptions might be a better alternative to selling calls below the cost basis (40:30 to 46:35)
- Ric adds - This is a Married Put FYI if that makes a difference...
It does! We talk about the dangers of using the Stock Repair Tool on PowerOptions with just the stock cost and not accounting for the price of the Put using the TREX example from the Fusion Portfolio (46:45 to 51:45)
3. A look at the actual cost basis on our TREX Married Put in the Fusion Portfolio with the other Stock Repair analysis, and thoughts on what we would rather do or might consider on the TREX position with earnings coming up in 11 Days, and other thoughts on MikeC Fusion Trades. (51:50 to 59:20)
4. Discussion on Benefits of the Married Put approach as detailed in our full course The Blueprint, discussion on some other income methods on the Married Put when the stock is down and a look at other Fusion Trades (59:30 to 1:08:55)
5. End & Wrap Up (1:09:00 to End) [x] |

1. Review of last weeks' discussion on the Market Sentiment tool, adjustments on the Fusion Trades at RadioActive Trading, what we did with VIX calls this week and how we approach trading VIX call options (0:00 to 7:20)
2. Robert is considering taking a large position on shorting SPY via Put options (I am assuming buying Puts). We take a look at how the Long Option Finder will assist Robert's trading idea (7:25 to 19:40)
3. A deeper look at FTNT in the Fusion Portfolio (MikeC) and when and why adjustments were made based on my technical analysis (20:05 to 22:40)
4. Kenneth: "Can you talk more about determining Resistance and Support on Stock Price Levels?" (22:45 to 33:15)
- I give my thoughts using the Fusion Trades on what technical patterns (MACD, SMA 20, Bollinger Bands) I tend to use and examples where that has worked, and why I tend not to use or 'draw' the support or resistance lines on my charts.
5. This leads to further discussion on recent Fusion Transactions on the Open Married Put Trades (MikeC portfolio) (33:20 to 40:20)
6. Vassili: 'Mike, can you please share your thoughts on a naked put selling strategy (say, 2 weeks out) and how you might suggest to search for suitable companies (perhaps with elevated IV not related to scheduled earnings and other corp actions)?' (40:25 to 1:01:30)
- We walk through thoughts and expectations on the Naked Put / Cash Secured Put Strategy, criteria on the PowerOptions Weekly Naked Put Picks of the Day, adjustments one can make on the patented Search tool to see higher probability, different expiration dates and much more (40:25 to 59:10)
- Where to find other educational information on this strategy and accessing our Playlist on Naked Puts / Cash Secured Puts (59:15 to 1:01:30)

(vs shoter timeframe, 30 days), pros and cons... 6:10 to 30:00 Interludes into other important concepts related to Question 1 and leading into Question 2...30:05 to 47:05 Ric's Question Part 2" "usually Bull Call spreads can be partially risk mitigated with condor structure (prem collection), is there any other way, e.g. simply buying puts or parity positions at higher/ lower delta that can mitigate the risk, in any way possible?" 47:15 to 1:01:30 Now, Back to the Market Sentiment tool and how it could have helped see when (so far in 2024) to potentially exit Bullish trades and further insight into the Market Sentiment tool and the indicators (1:01:35 to 1:11:30) Then, End & Wrap Up (1:11:35 to End) [x] |
