TT - MM: Scaling into Strength, 11/22/13

TastyTrade - Market Measures

Take-away:

If we enter a trade based on high IV Rank, and the IV Rank continues to rise, does this warrant scaling the position by selling more premium?
  • Entry: past 5 years in FXE, IWM, and TLT
    • IV Rank > 50%
    • Sell 1SD strangle w/45DTE
    • If IV Rank increases by 10 (say, from 55% to 65%) sell another 1SD strangle

  • Results: In these non-stock (indexes) examples it paid off 28 out of 29 times to scale in.
