Good morning traders, how are you today?
The markets are red this morning
$DJI ( ▼ 1.65% )  
$SPY ( ▼ 1.66% )  
$QQQ ( ▼ 2.04% )  
$IWM ( ▼ 2.81% )  

Yesterday I had a buddy come over to do some electrical work. I want a different 220 receptacle for my welding. My buddy, lets call him “Bob” is 53, married, kids
Bob whom I love do tears and back never got a bailout, family help, or anything else
He, his wife, and their son built their company to what it is now. Currently Bob’s business averages 59K a month. The goal which they wrote out is 100K a month
They’ve now started 2 other businesses for family fun stuff… “Go Bob Go”
They specialize in what they do, and it serves them well

The way we trade Options here at theoptionscoach.net is something of a specialty of its own. We don’t chase, and we don’t say “well I think its going blah blah “
Wednesday would of been great to put Strangles on everything we own
But we didn’t. The signals weren’t there. Wednesday saw slight downturn, yesterday saw the selloff.
THIS IS IMPORTANT:::::::::::::::::::::::::
We can’t just do Strangles all of the time for safety
Timing, we need to use some level of timing with them
Strangles can be costly, we are buying both the Call and the Put
Doing them on high dollar stocks can cost so we try to only do them :::
In times of market volatility….. Earnings……. After a large unexpected move has occurred and we want to catch more of the move or catch the reversal
One advantage of buying them in times like now is they are already beaten down in price
We want them for security then for profits

Here at theoptionscoach.net
We don’t chase stocks
We don’t go long if a stock is red
We buy at the MID price or better
We set STOPS and HONOR them

$GE ( ▼ 1.57% ) is at $300.50 as we speak

$QQQ ( ▼ 2.04% ) pretty beaten down here, price right now is $599.67

(These can be adjust to the end of NOV if a trader wanted for less price and possible greater profits, but that also means more risk )

The MID is 30.28

It’s time to grind
