TT - MM: Managing Winners - High IV, 9/09/13

Take-away:

  • Entry: past 5 years in AMZN and BIDU
    • Sell 1SD Strangle w/45DTE
    • IV Rank > 50%
    • IV Rank > 75%
  • Exit:
    • Close at 25%, 50%, and 75% of max profit
    • Compare to holding until expiration
    • If target % is not reached hold until expiration

  • Waiting for 75% IV Rank greatly increases the average P/L-per-day.
  • Holding until expiration did not return the highest profit and was nearly the lowest average P/L-per-day.
