| | Just to explain to people what rolling out means: Rolling out means, closing my current contracts at a loss and reopening an equivalent contract for the next month to pay for the loss: Initial Trade: Sell 20 OXR X=$3.00 MAR Contract @ 9.5c +$1,900 Buy 20 OXR X=$2.75 MAR Contract @ 2.5c -$500 +$1,400 (Net Credit) Roll Out: Buy 20 OXR X=$3.00 MAR Contract @ 13.5c -$2,700 Sell 20 OXR X=$2.75MARContract @ 0c +$0 Sell 20 OXR X=$3.00 APR Contract @ 22.5c +$4,500 Buy 20 OXR X=$2.75 APR Contract @ 8c -$1,600 +$200 (Net Credit)
After rolling out my position, I will end up with: Sold 20 OXR X=$3.00 APR Contract Bought 20 OXR X=$2.75 APR Contract (At the end of April, if OXR stays above $3.00, I will profit $1,600. Bare in mind this is over 2 month period, usually we expect to get this return over 1 month) Brokerage has not been taken into consideration, Assuming everything goes well for April. There will be $579.5 worth of brokerage on the $1,600 income. What I have effectively done is delayed my profit for the next month because I was unable to take any profit this month. This is one of the 'coolest' strategy I have ever seen in my life, I never knew you could make money from this until about 6 months ago. As for the rest of my positions, I am expecting all of them to expire worthless. This means I will have generated $3,000 worth of FREE money by risking $15,000 (borrowed money) in approximately 30 days (after brokerage). The best thing is, I didn't even try very hard. Must have spent approximately 1hr maximum during the month finding those trades and researching. I spend more time writing in this blog then I do finding and monitoring my trades!!! I will keep you guys up to date tomorrow, when the March contracts expire! |
