00:01:04
you don't have an Instagram now let's go
00:01:06
ahead and jump into it so how I make $
00:01:10
29,36 per month utilizing this new swing
00:01:13
trading strategy it comes down to four
00:01:16
simple principles that I'm going to
00:01:18
break down each and every step and then
00:01:20
towards the end I'm actually going to
00:01:22
show you exact strategies that you could
00:01:25
deploy today to start making money in
00:01:28
the stock market so my my strategy
00:01:30
follows these four principles the first
00:01:32
one is scaling into my trades according
00:01:35
to vix levels now if you don't know what
00:01:38
vix is I've talked about it in many
00:01:40
videos and I know a lot of YouTubers
00:01:42
aren't talking about it but we're going
00:01:43
to jump right into it because this is my
00:01:45
favorite indicator to basically scale my
00:01:49
Capital into traits all right so what
00:01:52
the vix is is basically it's the
00:01:54
volatility index of the S&P 500 it shows
00:01:57
how much fear is in the S&P 500 option
00:02:00
okay so my levels on this I have
00:02:03
specific levels where I'm allocating
00:02:06
more and more cash now between 10 and 15
00:02:09
when this thing's trading between 10 and
00:02:11
15 that means there's little to no fear
00:02:14
in the market okay this is when people
00:02:16
are greedy and that's typically when the
00:02:18
market goes up and up and up and makes
00:02:20
new all-time highs now when this thing
00:02:22
is trading between 15 and 20 there's a
00:02:25
little bit of fear okay there's a little
00:02:27
bit of fear and this is when I like to
00:02:29
start scaling in more cash into the
00:02:32
trade and then when this thing is above
00:02:35
20 between 20 and 30 I'm almost 100%
00:02:39
invested pretty much 100% invested and
00:02:42
uh that opportunity brought itself up on
00:02:44
Friday January 10th okay so we popped
00:02:47
above 20 and I went 100% allocated and
00:02:51
then if this thing ever goes above 30
00:02:54
which is very rare okay we had this
00:02:55
happen back in um August of 2024 4 which
00:03:00
was extremely rare this thing went all
00:03:02
the way up to 67 we haven't seen that
00:03:05
since 2020 okay since a 2020 crash and
00:03:08
if you look at the market what the
00:03:10
market did was this huge pullback okay
00:03:12
so when this thing pulls back when QQQ
00:03:15
we're looking at the NASDAQ 100 pulls
00:03:17
back you're going to see the vix Spike
00:03:21
up okay so this is an indicator of fear
00:03:24
in the market and I'm a contrarian
00:03:26
Trader especially with swing trading so
00:03:29
when there's a of fear that's when you
00:03:31
should be greedy all right just like
00:03:33
Warren Buffett says be fearful when
00:03:35
others are greedy and greedy when others
00:03:38
are fearful so I like to actually scale
00:03:40
into my trades according to fear in the
00:03:43
market because what most Traders get
00:03:45
wrong is that they're going all in based
00:03:48
off a certain setup or a certain chart
00:03:50
pattern without realizing where the
00:03:53
actual Market is heading okay and if
00:03:56
we're at all-time highs and the vix is
00:03:59
at all time lows meaning there's no fear
00:04:01
in the market then the chances of the
00:04:04
market coming down are actually higher
00:04:07
there's a higher probability chance of
00:04:09
the market downturn than the market
00:04:11
continuing to go up okay so I always
00:04:14
play probabilities and the vix helps me
00:04:17
with that now let's look at the vix
00:04:20
allocation levels so this is just my
00:04:22
personal levels in 2025 I'm definitely
00:04:25
more aggressive so vix 10 to 15 is 25 to
00:04:29
50% allocated I'm closer to the 50%
00:04:33
allocation obviously take this with a
00:04:34
grain of salt utilize your own
00:04:36
allocation methods based off your own
00:04:38
risk tolerance I'm a little bit more
00:04:40
risky a little bit more risk on but I'm
00:04:42
not super like I'm not playing in
00:04:44
leverage ETFs or anything like that so
00:04:47
um I'm somewhat risk averse but I'm
00:04:49
definitely more on the I'm willing to
00:04:52
take risk side all right the vix between
00:04:55
15 and 20 50 to 75% allocated and then
00:04:59
vix between 20 and 30 which happened on
00:05:02
Friday last week um 75 to 100% allocated
00:05:06
okay and that's kind of where I'm at
00:05:08
right now Vic's above 30 100% allocated
00:05:11
and I find new cash to add into my
00:05:14
brokerage account so if I'm have cash
00:05:16
and savings and checkings and different
00:05:18
accounts I'll add it into my brokerage
00:05:20
accounts to purchase up stocks and sell
00:05:22
more options all right so that is kind
00:05:25
of my levels for the vix you may want to
00:05:28
screenshot that rewind it screenshot it
00:05:30
for yourself and just kind of take a
00:05:32
look at where I think we're headed now I
00:05:35
could give you a future prediction
00:05:36
obviously this video is like uploaded a
00:05:39
week after filming so I Do by the time
00:05:42
you're watching this we are probably I'm
00:05:45
going to guess this is just going to be
00:05:46
a fun guess we're probably lower on the
00:05:48
vix right now so hopefully my guess is
00:05:52
right but um as I can see right here we
00:05:54
may have a a quick pop up and then um
00:05:57
continue to go down while the market
00:05:59
kind of rebounds all right so let's go
00:06:02
ahead and go to simple the principle
00:06:05
number two picking strong stocks in Weak
00:06:08
markets all right I'm going to give you
00:06:10
a specific example the timing doesn't
00:06:13
matter on this this is just an example
00:06:15
that you can look at and kind of you
00:06:17
know obviously apply it to today's
00:06:19
trading while you're trading kind of see
00:06:21
where the market's at and which stocks
00:06:23
are looking stronger in comparison to
00:06:25
others all right so um we're going to
00:06:28
look at Nvidia all right Nvidia is one
00:06:31
of the biggest positions I have
00:06:32
currently have like 150k tied up between
00:06:36
shares leap call options and cash
00:06:39
secured puts and okay I want you to look
00:06:42
back on December 20th all right December
00:06:44
20th
00:06:45
2024 we hit a new low of like I think it
00:06:48
was about 127 all right um 128 128 on
00:06:53
Friday December 20th all right 128 there
00:06:57
now I want you to look at QQQ where were
00:06:59
we on December 20th we were at 509 okay
00:07:05
today we are currently lower we are at
00:07:09
504 so if the market is weaker right now
00:07:14
then technically Nvidia should be even
00:07:16
lower because Nvidia has a higher beta
00:07:19
so when you know QQQ is up a percent
00:07:22
usually Nvidia is up 2% and same vice
00:07:25
versa if the Market's down a percent
00:07:28
Nvidia is down 2% % so ideally right if
00:07:33
the beta plays out then Nvidia should be
00:07:35
even lower than 128 well let's see where
00:07:38
it's at today okay um it's actually at
00:07:41
134 so we're looking stronger Nvidia is
00:07:44
looking stronger than the overall market
00:07:47
so this is kind of what I pay attention
00:07:49
to when the Market's making a pullback I
00:07:51
say you know I I ask myself which stocks
00:07:54
are actually hanging on tight that are
00:07:56
kind of just moving sideways while the
00:07:58
market goes down those are the ones that
00:08:00
are strong because what that tells you
00:08:02
is that investors are very bullish on
00:08:05
that particular stock they're not
00:08:06
willing to part ways with the stock just
00:08:08
because the Market's falling they rather
00:08:11
just hold through this downturn and what
00:08:13
I believe by the time you're watching
00:08:14
this video and if the market actually
00:08:18
recovers right from this nice little
00:08:20
pullback we have here then Nvidia should
00:08:22
be much higher than 134 so that's my
00:08:25
prediction um but it is definitely
00:08:28
performing stronger than than the actual
00:08:30
Market than the NASDAQ 100 so Nvidia is
00:08:33
one that I'm willing to go you know
00:08:36
definitely more heavy in with my Capital
00:08:39
allocation because it looks like a
00:08:41
strong Market in this particular stock
00:08:44
and I'm bullish for 2025 so that is
00:08:48
another thing I look at picking strong
00:08:50
stocks in Weak markets definitely have
00:08:53
your watch list and you want to take a a
00:08:55
close look at that because this could
00:08:57
Prime for opportunity right this could
00:08:59
give you major opportunity to have
00:09:01
significant upside more than you would
00:09:04
think because you're picking the best
00:09:05
stocks while the Market's going down
00:09:08
okay so I love doing that that's
00:09:10
definitely a principle for my trading
00:09:12
and I like to only trade awesome amazing
00:09:15
companies all right number three is
00:09:17
going to be the Ballinger bands so let's
00:09:20
go ahead and go to the chart and as you
00:09:23
can see there's these bands here I talk
00:09:24
about them a lot in my videos but if
00:09:26
you're new here then you've never heard
00:09:27
me talk about Ballinger bands so
00:09:29
Ballinger bands Implement statistics and
00:09:32
I love statistics because it's just math
00:09:34
it's math-based now what these lines
00:09:37
represent are two standard deviations
00:09:40
away from the average price so what's
00:09:42
going to happen is the stock is going to
00:09:44
stay in between these two lines 95% of
00:09:48
the time anytime it crosses outside of
00:09:51
these lines is technically an outlier
00:09:53
move and that happens 5% of the time as
00:09:56
you could see right it stayed uh it
00:09:58
broke the bottom Ballinger band back in
00:10:00
August when we had that huge crash in
00:10:02
the market right and then it sucked back
00:10:04
up right and then it just kind of
00:10:06
bounced around traded between the
00:10:07
Ballinger bands broke out the top
00:10:09
Ballinger band right here right very
00:10:11
rare it happens maybe once a month or
00:10:14
once every other month and then you know
00:10:16
just kind of bounces around within there
00:10:18
so that gives me a good range of if
00:10:21
we're at the lower Ballinger band
00:10:23
probabilities of it going lower are low
00:10:26
and probabilities of the stock going
00:10:28
higher are very high okay especially in
00:10:31
a bull market when you have a good stock
00:10:34
that has um you know like if you look at
00:10:38
Nvidia this stock has an upward Trend so
00:10:41
it's very easy to read in correlation
00:10:44
with the market okay so Ballinger bands
00:10:46
you could go on indicators and just type
00:10:48
in you know Ballinger and they will come
00:10:51
up okay so you just type in Ballinger
00:10:53
band select and get that on the chart
00:10:55
for yourself now what this allows me to
00:10:57
do is it allows me to enter trades so
00:11:00
I'm going to show you um just based off
00:11:02
of what I do is I sell options so um
00:11:06
selling options allows me to profit even
00:11:10
if the market goes sideways slightly
00:11:13
down or up okay so when I'm selling a
00:11:16
put I will go ahead like right now I
00:11:20
have some puts that are sold um QQQ is
00:11:23
at 504 so I will go ahead and sell some
00:11:26
like 495 puts okay and as long as QQQ
00:11:32
doesn't go below this put price by
00:11:35
expiration which usually I trade 30-day
00:11:37
options so in 30 days as long as QQQ
00:11:40
stays Above This level then I make the
00:11:43
full profit it could go down to that
00:11:46
level as long as it stays slightly above
00:11:48
it it could go sideways for 30 days it
00:11:51
could go up for 30 days no matter what
00:11:54
as long as it doesn't go below this I'm
00:11:55
making a profit in fact the way I do it
00:11:59
I'm making a profit no matter what even
00:12:01
if it breaches this I will go get go
00:12:03
ahead and get assigned the shares and
00:12:06
collect a full premium a full profit and
00:12:08
then I just have to hold the shares and
00:12:09
collect income via covered calls which
00:12:12
I'll get into especially if you're not
00:12:14
familiar with selling options that's how
00:12:16
I'm able to profit 95 you know 93% of my
00:12:20
trades are profitable because I'm doing
00:12:21
this strategy versus someone who's
00:12:24
buying an option let's just say uh you
00:12:26
know the stock went down to 504 someone
00:12:29
says okay I think it's going to reverse
00:12:31
so I'm going to buy an at the money call
00:12:33
at 504 right but let's just say QQQ kind
00:12:37
of Trades sideways for 30 days and you
00:12:40
bought a 30-day option each day that
00:12:42
goes by and it just trades sideways
00:12:44
you're losing money on that option
00:12:46
because you purchased it Theta Decay is
00:12:48
working against you versus I sold it so
00:12:51
Theta Decay is working in my favor okay
00:12:54
the buyers lose most of the time and the
00:12:57
sellers win most of the time all right
00:12:59
all right so that's kind of how I use
00:13:01
the Ballinger bands um I use it on the
00:13:03
short side as well I sell calls covered
00:13:05
calls that you know when we're at the
00:13:07
top of the Ballinger band I'll sell one
00:13:09
like up here right and as long as the
00:13:11
stock doesn't go past it then I don't
00:13:13
you know have to sell my shares and I
00:13:15
get to collect premium and I do that
00:13:17
every single time okay so let's kind of
00:13:20
jump into um the option selling
00:13:23
strategies so that you could understand
00:13:25
exactly how I do this so let's go to
00:13:27
cash secured puts now
00:13:29
when you buy a put you think the Stock's
00:13:31
going down and it has to go down for you
00:13:34
to make money now when you sell a put
00:13:37
the stock just has to stay above your
00:13:39
put strike price it could go sideways
00:13:41
slightly down or up and you make money
00:13:44
okay so let's just say for instance you
00:13:47
the stock is trading at
00:13:49
$60 you sell a $50 put and you collect
00:13:52
$500 bucks you get to keep that 500
00:13:55
bucks the full profit as long as the
00:13:57
stock stays anywhere above 50 and you
00:14:00
could actually calculate your odds based
00:14:03
off Delta like I look at the Delta you
00:14:05
know if I'm selling a 30 Delta put that
00:14:08
gives me a 70% chance of profit okay um
00:14:13
and you could kind of adjust your trade
00:14:14
based off of the probabilities that you
00:14:17
want in your favor so what I what I do
00:14:20
with cash secured puts is I always ask
00:14:23
myself do I want to own this stock all
00:14:26
right the reason it's cash secur is
00:14:28
because you're using cash is collateral
00:14:30
if the stock goes below your put price
00:14:32
by expiration you get to keep the
00:14:34
premium but you're forced to buy 100
00:14:36
shares at that price so let's look at
00:14:39
the example if the stock goes below 50
00:14:43
let's just say it's trading at 47 right
00:14:46
I still get to collect that 500 bucks
00:14:47
but now I have to buy 100 shares at 50
00:14:50
bucks and that's fine because there's a
00:14:52
way to collect income off your shares
00:14:54
based on selling covered calls so I
00:14:57
asked myself do I want to own the stock
00:14:59
at this price yes it's a discount I'm
00:15:01
getting paid to dollar cost average and
00:15:04
I could collect income in other ways so
00:15:07
if the answer is yes I would go 25 to 30
00:15:09
Delta and sell the strike price 30 to 45
00:15:12
days out I typically go 30 days out and
00:15:15
then you could wait until expiration
00:15:16
just set it and forget it collect your
00:15:18
profit or you could close out at an
00:15:21
early profit that's really up to you
00:15:23
okay so we're going to go ahead and go
00:15:26
into the account as you can see I have
00:15:28
tons of positions on I have tons of cash
00:15:31
secured puts in Nvidia and paler and QQQ
00:15:34
and apple and Amazon Google and Tesla
00:15:37
all right so let's go ahead and go into
00:15:40
Nvidia because I think this is the best
00:15:43
example right now we'll go 30 days 34
00:15:46
days out just to keep it
00:15:47
simple and I'll go to like the 30 Delta
00:15:50
put okay that's the 128 strike 370 bucks
00:15:55
we get to collect now let's look at the
00:15:57
chart all right so if I sold the 128 put
00:16:00
the stock would literally have to go all
00:16:03
the way down here okay at the funny
00:16:07
enough it's at the lower Ballinger band
00:16:08
it would have to go back to the lower
00:16:10
Ballinger band for us to actually get
00:16:12
assigned the shares if not I collect the
00:16:15
370 bucks and I get to do it all over
00:16:17
again sell another put but let's just
00:16:20
say it does go down and I do have to buy
00:16:22
the shares that's fine I buy them at 128
00:16:25
and I will go ahead and collect income
00:16:27
via covered calls but let's calculate
00:16:29
the premium that you get okay so 370 /
00:16:35
128 is a about a
00:16:37
2.89% return all right if you're doing
00:16:40
this every month on your money all right
00:16:43
you're going to generate roughly between
00:16:46
a 34 and 40% return on cash secured puts
00:16:49
on Nvidia okay that's beating the market
00:16:52
by a lot I mean the average S&P 500
00:16:55
return is about 10% per year all right
00:16:59
last year the S&P 500 did 25% in my
00:17:02
portfolio I did 45% because I was
00:17:04
utilizing this exact strategy all right
00:17:07
so that's why I love selling cash
00:17:10
secured puts high probability and they
00:17:14
you know pay out pretty well all right
00:17:16
so that's that let's go ahead and go
00:17:19
back to the next thing which is bull put
00:17:22
spreads which if you don't have enough
00:17:24
cash to buy 100 shares this is going to
00:17:26
apply to you so basically you're doing
00:17:29
you're selling a put kind of like we did
00:17:31
in the last example but you're also
00:17:33
buying a put to Define your risk so
00:17:35
you'll risk like 500 bucks you know to
00:17:38
make a 100 or something like that and we
00:17:40
could get into it because if the stock
00:17:42
goes down below your sellp put your
00:17:44
buyut is actually making enough money to
00:17:46
cover the loss so your risk is defined
00:17:49
so you're going to go Five Points wide
00:17:51
20 Delta or lower 30 to 45 days out and
00:17:55
close early close this at 25 to 50% Max
00:17:58
profit
00:17:59
or manage around you know 21 days left
00:18:02
till expiration and only open up this
00:18:06
position when the stock is down so we
00:18:08
can go into tasty trade this is a better
00:18:10
platform for doing small account
00:18:13
strategies like vertical spreads which
00:18:15
we're talking about right now a short
00:18:17
putut or a bull put spread so we're
00:18:20
going to do a vertical and we're going
00:18:22
to actually switch this to a short
00:18:26
put and as you can see there we go so
00:18:28
we're going to adjust this we're going
00:18:30
to go all the way to let's just go to
00:18:33
the 20 Delta and we're going to sell the
00:18:36
125 120 put vertical this bull put
00:18:39
spread what we're going to be doing is
00:18:41
risking 425 bucks to make 75 now our Pro
00:18:46
probability of profit is 71% probability
00:18:49
of 50% of profit is
00:18:52
84% okay so these probabilities are very
00:18:55
high you're winning eight times out of
00:18:56
10 if you want to risk more money or
00:19:00
actually if you want to like be a little
00:19:01
bit more risky but make more money then
00:19:03
you would go you know to the
00:19:07
1204 to 129 there we go so we risk 384
00:19:11
to make 116 your probabilities go down a
00:19:14
bit your probability of 50% of profits
00:19:17
still 73% which is great okay so that's
00:19:20
going to be a bull-put spread you could
00:19:21
set this up in tasty trade and um let's
00:19:24
talk about the call side okay so this is
00:19:26
basically if we think the stock stock is
00:19:28
a little too high maybe it's towards the
00:19:30
upper Ballinger band we want to make
00:19:32
some money on our shares or make some
00:19:35
money just from the stock going down
00:19:37
which is called a bare call spread which
00:19:39
we'll get into in a moment but covered
00:19:41
calls so this is how you generate income
00:19:44
based off your stock all right let's
00:19:46
just say you get ass signed on the puts
00:19:47
you have shares now how do you generate
00:19:49
income well you're going to generate
00:19:51
income by selling a call against your
00:19:54
shares so as long as the stock doesn't
00:19:56
go above your call strike price
00:19:59
you don't have to sell your shares at a
00:20:00
profit you get to just collect premium
00:20:03
now I like to get my calls get my shares
00:20:07
called away because that means I sell my
00:20:09
shares at a profit plus I get to collect
00:20:13
premium so this the Dynamics are going
00:20:15
to be a little different 30 Delta strike
00:20:16
price 7 days till expiration 7 to 14 um
00:20:20
and you make Premium Plus stock
00:20:21
appreciation if shares get called away
00:20:23
so let's go ahead and go over to Nvidia
00:20:26
again let's just say we got a signed at
00:20:27
135
00:20:29
so we would go let's just go closer I
00:20:31
would go 20 days maybe you know even 15
00:20:34
would be better but we'll just go 20
00:20:36
days for example and I would go to the
00:20:39
30 Delta you could even go to the 40
00:20:42
Delta that's fine let's just go to the
00:20:43
40 Delta let's just say you don't want
00:20:45
to hold on to the shares but you want to
00:20:48
make premium and get your shares called
00:20:50
away so let's do the math on that so the
00:20:52
40 Delta is the 140 strike so let's just
00:20:55
say the stock went to 142 so you'd have
00:20:57
to sell at 140 um 140 minus where it's
00:21:02
currently trading
00:21:04
135 divided by
00:21:07
135 that's about a 3.7% return on the
00:21:12
share appreciation plus you're going to
00:21:15
collect a premium of $385 so 385 /
00:21:22
135 2.8 so 2.8 plus
00:21:25
3.8 that's about a 6.6 % return on your
00:21:30
money if you're able to do that you know
00:21:32
every single month that's a huge return
00:21:35
right you're going to make more on the
00:21:36
covered calls because you're not only
00:21:39
getting premium but your Shares are
00:21:40
getting called away at a profit all
00:21:42
right so that's that and then let's go
00:21:44
over the last thing which is the bare
00:21:47
call spread this is for small accounts
00:21:49
you have $10,000 or less but you still
00:21:51
want to participate in a stock going
00:21:54
down like Nvidia every time it touches
00:21:56
its top Ballinger band it has some you
00:21:58
know has some issues there it's been uh
00:22:00
pretty resistant there so what you could
00:22:04
do is sell a 20 Delta um bare call
00:22:08
spread so we're going to clear this
00:22:10
trade and we're going to go to short
00:22:13
call all right and basically yeah I
00:22:18
would go I would go out pretty far just
00:22:20
to be safe 20 Delta 148 to the
00:22:24
150 actually let's go 150
00:22:28
to
00:22:30
the5 all right so we'd be basically
00:22:33
risking 443 to make 57 probabilities are
00:22:37
extremely high on this one so you might
00:22:39
want to go a little closer let's try 145
00:22:42
to
00:22:42
[Music]
00:22:44
150 okay um so the 145 150 bare call
00:22:48
spread you'd be risking 400 to make 100
00:22:51
that's a nice even number 82%
00:22:54
probability of profit 89% probability of
00:22:58
50 % of profit so this is a pretty good
00:23:01
trade I would say all right um now I
00:23:03
wouldn't enter this now this would not
00:23:05
be a good place to enter Because Nvidia
00:23:07
is towards the lower Ballinger band you
00:23:09
want it to be towards the upper
00:23:10
Ballinger band or even above like it was
00:23:13
over here okay so that's exactly how I'm
00:23:16
swing trading how I'm making tons of
00:23:18
profit if you want to see another video
00:23:20
of my exact strategy something called
00:23:23
The Wheel strategy I'm going to link
00:23:24
that right there that's my bread and
00:23:26
butter that's generated me that 45%
00:23:29
return in 2024 so check that out and
00:23:32
I'll see you in the next one take care
