Options expiration can be a scary time for options traders. Most investors will do anything to avoid the assignment process, but it can be challenging to manage multiple positions and keep track of different expiration dates.
Monitor automations enable you to offload trade management to a bot.
Investors typically have exit criteria based on profit targets or stop losses. With options, you may also want to build an additional calendar filter into your strategy.
This video example shows how you can add a decision recipe to automatically close your position if the profit or stop-loss order has not triggered before the contract’s expiration date.
This useful decision recipe can be included in any monitor automation that manages options positions. It is an excellent filter to have at the end of an automation as a final safeguard. Now you no longer need to worry about holding a position too close to expiration.
This video is another great example of how bot automations alleviate the stress of managing multiple positions manually, so you can spend more of your time searching for new trade ideas and backtesting strategies.
