Jay here,
I receive a lot of questions about Options Credit Spreads, and for a good reason.
Charles Schwab reports,
"credit spreads allow options traders to substantially limit risk by forgoing a limited amount of profit potential." And that's exactly why I think it's a good idea to learn how to place these trades.
Like our credit spread expert here at Investors Alley, Serge Berger says:
"Options credit spreads are like numbing paste at the dentist. You're numbing your trades so that when it goes against you, it doesn't hurt at all while still enjoying the upside." Apart from this clever quote -- I mention Serge here because if you want to learn how to trade credit spreads, he's the best guy to learn from. He's been trading for over 20 years, much like myself, and even spent a fair bit of time as an investment banker for JP Morgan.
Serge developed a credit spread strategy he likes to call
'11-day payouts.' As the mame implies, the trades he recommends cash out on average every 11 days.
The catch?
Like his numbing paste example from before, he consistently wins on most of his trades, but you should only expect to pocket between 8-12% each time. For example:
