To Adjust or Not to Adjust

The market continues to take option traders on a volatile ride, but adjusting your position is not always the answer.

Are You Reviewing Your Trades?

Sometimes the best move is to do nothing and stay in cash. But that doesn’t mean sit idle. This is the perfect time to review your past trades.

Volatility Induces Anxiety

Economic uncertainty, trade tensions, geopolitical events and inflation have added considerable volatility to markets. There have been big swings in interest rates, which have a direct influence on equity indexes, currencies, precious metals and numerous commodities. In addition, automated trading systems can exacerbate rapid price changes during volatile periods. As volatility rises, so do risk and anxiety.

Your Naked Put Warning

With market volatility at extreme levels, option premiums are tempting—but don’t let that fool you. Selling naked puts can be a high-risk strategy, especially if things move against you.
