111: To Hold or Not to Hold to Expiration

In this episode, we'll try to answer the question of whether or not holding to expiration is better than taking profits early when being a net options seller. We'll explore this question by comparing a recently posted SPX Weekly Options Strategy from the SPX Income Masterclass. We'll compare holding the trades to expiration from 2021-2023 vs. taking profits a 50% of the max gain. As we'll discuss, strike selection and win rate can be determining factors in deciding when to take profits as part of the strategy you are trading.
