    Wait, how much capital do you need in your account to even do this trade?? Because that seems unrealistic if you're making these instructional videos for most viewers. To the extent that if you had an account with as much as this would require, most would just park it in an index fund, or even an ETF that uses these exact same strategies like YieldMax I believe.

  • @bm9322
    @bm9322 23 дні тому

    This is partially wrong for inversion. If the stock reverses direction you lose the profits that would be gained back by the position that was just closed, while still risking the losses for the position on the opposite end of the trade. You roll up the untested side, but you need to look at the P/L graph to make sure that as the price moves towards the downside you hit your profit target on the total trade to close out

      Yeah yeah if you want to get super technical yes... But from a risk profile though it is not capped unlike the other strategies like a vertical or iron condors, the profits keep accelerating because of the delta.
