How I Made USD$9,827 In 3 Trading Days Using The Easiest Option Strategy

This is a very simple options trading technique that all options traders will learn when they first get started on options and it is “Cash Secured PUT“. In this article, I will share with you how I use Cash Secured PUT (CSP) to generate almost USD$10,000 in 3 trading days.

On 26 Nov 21 (Fri), when the market was selling down due to the fears of Omicron variant, I sold a Out(of)-The-Money (OTM) CSP on Tesla (Strike Price $1000, Expiration 31 Dec 21) and collected a premium of $5,250.

The following Monday, 29 Nov 21, the stock market rallied and Tesla gained about 5% in share price. I saw that the premium value for my CSP contract has dropped and so I closed the contract by buying the CSP contract for a premium of $3,650. Therefore, I earned a profit of $1,500 on one trading day. On the same day, I sold another Tesla PUT contract (Strike Price $1100, Expiration 31 Dec 21) and collected a premium of $7,200.

On the next day, 30 Nov 21 (Tues), Tesla’s share price increased by another 3% in the opening hours. I saw that the premium had dropped again and thus, I closed the contract yet again by buying the CSP contract for a premium of $5,723. By closing the contract, I earned a profit of $1,477 within a day.

Lastly, I sold another Tesla PUT contract (Strike Price $1100, Expiration 7 Jan 21) and collected a premium of $6,850.

So, in 3 trading days (26 Nov, 29 Nov and 30 Nov), I have earned a total of $9,827 by using the simplest options technique of selling Cash Secured PUT on a single stock (Tesla). This goes to show that you do not need to learn complicated options trading techniques like iron condor, iron butterfly or other complex credit/ debit spreads to earn money in options trading. All you need is to know the basics and pick the right stocks that can help to grow your wealth exponentially.
