Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Dan: I really liked this video and greatly appreciate your analysis. However, I would add anothe factor: Unseen or random events that make stocks move much more than expected – tail risk or some sort. This might be a market-wide move or a stock-specific move. If the time-span of the crdit spread is larger, such moves might be overcome – for expample – a 45-60 Days to Expiration credit spread might overcome such tail risk much more than a 30-days to expiry. Thanks. Ahmad Mohammad
Hey Ahmad. Yep. You’re right. that’s why management is so important.
The biggest problem is being able to analyze all of this and if a Call spread, watch the stock fall or on the PUT spread, watch it rise and getting it on. We lose the hedge. U see this too….there is no answer…
