Outline • What is B.E.T.S. • Breakdown of each word • How To Implement this trading approach • A Breakdown of B.E.T.S. implementation in a stock
The Questions of my Nightmares • Should I buy this stock? • Mark what do you think of stock XYZ? • I want to buy a call in this stock, what should I buy? • Mark what stock do you like right now, and what type of trade would you execute?
What is B.E.T.S. • I developed BETS as an acronym to walk people through whether or not they have a stupid idea (hint most of the time they do). • By following this system people can take an idea and develop a trade
What is B.E.T.S. • B: Background • E: Energy • T: Time • S: Strategy
Background • Every investment or trade should have a background story to it • The story is the reason you are interested in the trade • The background story is what has happened in the past and why is what has happened in the past the same or different than what will happen in the future
Background • Background answers: • Stock will go up • Stock will go down • Stock will NOT go down • Stock will NOT go up • IT IS THAT SIMPLE, not story, no investment, not trade
Energy • How much movement does a stock have • Is the stock whipping about • Does the stock have momentum • Does the stock have chop • Is the stock on a slow climb higher • Could the stock GAP
Energy • The energy essentially answers whether the stock is volatile, and if the stock has momentum in its movement • Stocks with low energy may make great investments but make bad trades (could be option selling candidates) • Stocks with high energy can develop into a trade
Time • What is the time horizon of the trade • Is it going to move in a week • Is it going to move in a month • Is it going to move in a year?
Time • When will you enter the trade • When will you exit • What are the profit targets • If the profit doesn’t hit by the date, what would you do • When do you give up on the trade
Picking the Time for an Option • When are earnings based on below • If I think its going to move in 2019, what do I buy, what about after Jan 2020?
Strategy? • How are you going to express the trade itself given the B.E.T. • Do you want to buy the stock, go long a call, sell a put, or put on a credit spread • What about something more complex like a butterfly or a calendar?
Strategy • B: do I want to go long or short • E: do I want to go long or short options • Now I know if I want to sell put or buy call • Do I want to spread? • T: What is my time period • Now I know when to put my trade • S: build the actual trade using the above • Price goals build the spread
Strategy • If I think the move is going to be strong I buy options • If I think slow, I sell options • If I have a target I spread to lower the cost • This is also where implied volatility comes into play
Strategy • I use IV to help with the buy or sell • Determine relative cost • I use skew to help with strikes • And I use term structure to help me with the time piece of the trade • I sell in front and buy behind • Let's walk through a quick strategy
