13 Preface Option trading is both an art and a science. The science of option trading is very straightforward and mechanical and involves the specific steps in establishing a position, pricing, and understanding how movements in the underlying stock affect your trades. The art of trading, on the other hand, involves the use of your imagination and ingenuity. The market is your canvass and you coordinate different strategies and adjustments to create a unique painting, which is your portfolio. As mechanical as option trading seems, to be truly successful you will need to apply your own artistic style with respect to developing strategies and making trade adjustments. This book is about the art of making trade adjustments. Making an adjustment to a stock or option position is one of the most overlooked and underutilized skills in trading. Moreover, it is one area where your personal style and imagination are valued over any other quantitative trading skill. Options give you the flexibility to trade markets in any direction, or with no direction at all, and for as long or as short a time period as you want. Just as eight simple musical notes can be combined to make an infinite number of symphonies and songs, calls and puts also can be combined in a number of ways, using different expiration dates and strike prices, to create an almost infinite number of positions and follow-up adjustments. Using the right trade adjustment can hedge or even boost your profits, limit your losses, and create risk-free trades. Trade adjustments can also be used to repair losing positions. Whether you invest using only stocks, only options, or both, the information in this book is intended to give you the tools you need to improve your trading skills and performance. The material in this book presents the art of trade adjustments in a logical sequential order. First, we discuss the most important aspect of investing risk and trade management. Trade adjustments are tools used to implement trade and risk management. Therefore, you cannot understand how to use the tools if you are not aware of the theory behind them. That is why in the first chapter we present the guiding principles of risk and trade management and describe how to apply them to manage your xi
14 xii PREFACE portfolio. We discuss investment and portfolio themes and how to develop a professional approach to your trading. Finally, we detail our formula for trading success, known as SCORE, which not only teaches you how to incorporate our principles of risk and trade management into your daily trading, but also lays out a complete step-by-step trading and portfolio management system. After you have learned the theory, you need to know the right tools for effectively putting the theory into practice. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the tools you will need to control your risk, take advantage of the benefits of options, and make adjustments to your positions. This book is not meant for the pure beginner in options; we assume that the reader has a minimal understanding of how options work and a familiarity with the basic strategies. Nonetheless, we provide a quick overview of the most important characteristics of options and various strategies to remind the reader of the terms and strategies that are used throughout the book. The trade adjustments discussed range from basic to quite complex. Therefore, a general background in option strategies is required and presented in Chapter 2. We also discuss implied volatility and time decay, two often overlooked option characteristics, which, if used effectively, can reduce many common mistakes made by most traders. Once you have learned the theory and the tools to put that theory into practice, you are ready to learn the art of trade adjustments. The remaining chapters discuss how to adjust various trading positions to lock in a profit, hedge against a loss, or boost an overall profit. Each chapter covers a different type of underlying position and all the possible adjustments that can be made to that position, whether the underlying stock moves higher or lower, or even if it moves sideways. We start with long and short stock positions and the various adjustments you can make using options. We also deal with basic and advanced call and put positions and cover adjustments to more advanced strategies such as spreads and combinations. The strategies and adjustments in the book continually build on information presented in previous chapters. Therefore, you are encouraged to read the book straight through because the strategies and adjustments become more complex and follow a natural progression. However, most traders will probably use the text as a reference handbook and go directly to the chapter or strategy they are interested in reading about. In later chapters you may find references to earlier chapters or find short summaries of position analysis where the relevant background to a specific strategy was presented earlier in the handbook. We tried whenever possible to make it easy for the handbook users to read up on the specific strategy they are interested in and find all the information they need in one place. However, you will find that all
15 Preface xiii the strategies and adjustments complement each other and you will gain a better understanding of the art of trading by first reading the chapters in order. Thereafter, you can keep the handbook at your side and use it as a trading reference. Within each chapter, we use numerous examples to demonstrate the different trade adjustments using real stocks. The stocks used as examples are merely for illustrative purposes and in no way are to be construed as an investment opinion on whether to buy or sell such securities. Whenever we quote stock or option prices or specific strategy costs, we are estimating the premiums on the given options based on market prices at the time of writing for purposes of illustrating the given strategies and adjustments. The prices quoted for each option are the assumed prices you would hypothetically buy or sell those options for in each example and we ignore bid/ask spreads. When calculating the profit and loss for each strategy or adjustment as well as for the risk/reward profile charts contained in each chapter, we assume that the relevant options are at expiration and worth only their intrinsic value, if any. The positions can be terminated at any time prior to expiration either by closing the position or exercising the options. However, the only time we know the exact value of the option is on its expiration day, so we assume all positions are held to expiration. For simplicity, the profit calculations also exclude commissions, taxes, and other transaction costs as well as the effect of the time value of money. When discussing option pricing in Chapter 2, we present the Black Scholes option pricing model merely for purposes of explaining the different option pricing factors and how they affect the price of the option. Although the formula assumes that the options are European style, we apply the price sensitivity factors in the Black Scholes model to American-style equity options discussed in the handbook to simplify the explanation of how each pricing factor can affect the value of a call or a put. The number of possible trade adjustments to the positions we cover in the handbook is almost infinite and we could not possibly cover every single trading scenario or contingency. We try to present the best possible trade adjustments given the movement of the underlying stock and even present some adjustments that we do not recommend, for the sake of being as complete as possible. The number of possible adjustments that can be made is limited only by your imagination, so feel free to take what you read one step further whenever practical. Moreover, there are some strategies to which we did not cover trade adjustments. Because most complex option positions can be broken down into more familiar simple strategies already covered in this handbook, you can easily take the adjustments covered here and apply them
