Common Crate (Ground Strike)
A Cash-Secured Put is a Neutral/Bullish options strategy where you sell a put option and set aside enough cash to buy the stock if you’re assigned. You’re essentially saying: “I’m willing to buy this stock at a lower price — and get paid upfront to wait.” You earn a credit (premium) when you sell the put. If the stock stays above the strike price, you keep the premium and no shares are assigned. If the stock falls below the strike, you’ll be required to buy it — but at a discount, thanks to the premium you collected.
Rare Crate (The Skycap)
A Covered Call is a Neutral/Bullish options Strategy where you Buy 100 Shares of an Asset then Sell a Call against that Asset. You’re essentially saying: “I’m willing to buy this stock right now at this price — and get paid upfront while I wait for the price to rise.” If the price rises great; you earn money on the shares you own plus the premium you Collected. If Price Does Nothing Then Still great because you got paid a premium up front. Worst case scenario; price decreases but the premium you were paid upfront offsets those unrealized losses.
Epic Crate (The Chain Stack)
An Extremely Bullish/Bearish Strategy where you Combine either our Common Crate, Or Rare Crate Strategy with a regular Call or Put. You’re essentially saying: “I’m willing to take some risk with a Call(Bullish), or a Put(Bearish) but I want to offset that risk Entirely by Collecting Premium from a Cash Secured Put, or Covered Call.” For Example Using our Rare Crates Strategy You get a $112 premium up front and then Buy a Call using that Premium you made from your Covered Call. Best Case Scenario, the Asset your trading Skyrockets up. You Keep the Premium from your Covered Call, plus the Value Increase from your Shares, plus the Increased Value of your Call. You make more money and the Call removes the Profit Cap from your trade. Worst Case Scenario. The Asset drops in price or stays the same. The Call expires worthless and Premium made from the Covered Call gets cancelled out by the Loss of the Call resulting in Break Even. This Can Be Performed with Cash Secured Puts as well. Using our Common Crate to which one works best for you.
To place a crate trade, Load Up Your Broker on a Different Tab or device. Then select your crate, add your filter, and Press Generate. From there switch over to your broker and Find the Ticker from your crate. Go to the options Chain and Select the Strategy Our Crate uses.
Select the Strike and Expiration then press Sell. Congratulations you entered a trade using Hedge Crates. Now just Wait for Expiration and Collect your Premium.
This will look a little different with our Epic Crate. Remember though the only major difference is your selling a call/put and buying a call/put less or equal to the premium collected from a Cash Secured Put, or Covered Call. For example You sell a Cash Secured Put using our Groundstrike Crate, and collect $500 over 2 weeks. You then Buy a Calls worth $500 making this Play Risk free.
After Opening Each Crate your Crate and Card Details will be sent to your Crate locker. In the card Generated you can see details such as Expiration, Strike, Premium Collected, Cash Required, Annualized Yield, Strategy Profile, and Risk Disclaimers.
Have Your Broker Open and Ready
Ensure your broker platform is open and ready to place trades before you open a crate. This allows for quick execution of the recommended strategies.
Track Progress with Calendar Feature
Utilize our Calendar Feature to effectively track the progress and performance of your trades.
Stay Informed with News Feature
Keep an eye on relevant news and reports using our integrated News Feature to make informed decisions.
Aim for Optimal Strike Price
When selecting options, aim for a strike price that is 5-10% away from the current stock price for better risk-reward profiles.
Filter for Longer Expirations
Use the filter options to select expirations that are 30 or more days out. This generally provides more time for the trade to play out and reduces time decay pressure.
Spread Risk Across Multiple Tickers
Diversify your portfolio by spreading risk across multiple tickers. This helps mitigate potential losses from a single asset.
More Capital, Potentially Better Results
Generally, utilizing more capital can lead to better results in terms of premium collected or potential gains, as it allows for more contracts or higher-priced options.
Understand This is Not a Get Rich Quick Scheme
It's crucial to understand that Hedge Crates is a tool for strategic trading and education, not a 'get rich quick' scheme. Consistent learning and disciplined application are key.
