Options / “1-1-1 trade” framework (step-by-step style)

When to enter

Enter on a day where:

• VIX is up
• The market is down ~4% or more

Signal timing:

• Confirmations expected during the system “watch” window:
  • early watch around 9:35
  • latest entry around 11:00

What to trade

A “$10 put debit spread out of the money” (described as the 1-1-1 component)

How to select strikes / adjust

Key steps:

• Targeting a timeframe initially described as around 120 days (then adjusted)
• Move strikes away from the money to find a suitable debit price
  • Attempts around $10–$11, then continues adjusting
• Strike examples referenced (partly inconsistent in the transcript):
  • Mention of options around 970
  • Mentions “1050/1150” chain points

Greedy premium / cushion adjustment:

• Speaker wants improved structure / higher premium target
• Attempts aim for ~$20–$23 in target premium/income
• Mentions selling an additional strike (example: selling 6050) to add cushion and improve theta
• Aiming for around ~$23.50 (as premium management language)

Greeks / performance commentary

• Delta
  • “delta very neutral”
  • Delta described as ~0.15 times net lick (custom definition; exact scaling unclear)
• Theta / extrinsic
  • “Theta is low at 26”
  • “extrinsic is negative”
  • After adjustments: theta increases by about +$4 to around ~30

Execution & risk controls

• System expected to:
  • automatically log trades
  • report win rate (successful vs failed signals)
  • provide EOD recaps
• Manual emphasis:
  • Hard exit / get out at 2:00
