Calendar Spreads Are Better Than Debit Spreads

October 9, 2019October 24, 2019 ~ nightrunpapa ~ Leave a comment

So during low volatility environments, debit spreads are a strategy to consider. But there is better strategy – calendar spreads.

1 strike OTM (55% OTM) calendar spreads outperform debit spread

Put calendars are preferred to call calendars

Debit Spread (Again)

July 24, 2019 ~ nightrunpapa ~ Leave a comment

I put on a debit call spread after a long while. After 14 years to be exact. Wanted to add some deltas to my portfolio.

Saw this video that shows that 60-40 delta debit spread is the most profitable. Managing at 50% improves win rate significantly.
