So what the heck is this? Trade of the week 2 is a combo, also known as a risk reversal. I will state here and now this is for fun I would NOT recommend any of the trades we show. You, gentle reader, will have to find your own way.
Trade of the Week 1
What we did in trade 1 was a straightfoward sale of a call(we sold the right to buy) collected the premium and then paid to close the trade. This week we are looking at a very big leap from that. We thought the market was headed down,and may do so again.
Trade of the Week2
As we have given a brief outline of the Greeks as in the calculator above(thanks, iVolatility.com) I shall gloss over that but just want to say that theta(time decay) is not in our favour(0.9624 for the call,and 1.2289 for the put) and the delta and gamma are also a tad against us when FTSE moves up. In reality I’d wait for the market to make this a credit trade,and I’d want about 8. I’d wait for FTSE=7100 and change
The logic of the trade
Simple- if you think it’s worth selling the call as FTSE is near that all time high and is likely to fall from here,why not ‘double down’ and buy a put? Volatility should smash up, making that put very profitable. You can argue that this is a synthetic future. It is in a ‘skewed’ way as it is directional, but crazy stuff will happen and I hope to be able to track this throughout the week with live market prices, and update when relevant.
Caveat Once again this trade requires margin as you have sold a call-roughly £1800. No margin for the put as we own it and can only lose the premium paid.

Delta is the rate of change relative to the underlying,and gamma is the rate of change of delta- it is NOT linear. I’m not mad about this trade but I think it will serve to illustrate some valid points -market ‘timing’, choice of weapon, time horizon, opportunity cost.
The logic is sound the choices in my mind are a bit ugly but we can get a’feel’ for how things pan out-and if the market tanks and this trade makes 100, we learn nothing
So what is the trade. What are you buying/selling?
selling calls to buy puts- a lot of people do it the other way,they sell puts to buy calls,as they are eternal optimists. We are not,
and so personally prefer to sell expensive calls to buy cheap puts,typically when the market has had a big run up and the volatility is low.
