Today, on this segment of "Strategies For Your IRA", Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista discuss pairs trades and how they may be placed in an IRA account using options.
Stocks are near or at all time highs so Tom and Tony wanted to look for an opportunity in a pairs trade. They discussed the statistical difference between selling premium with high volatility and pairs trades. Selling volatility relies on a reversion to the mean. This is not built into pairs trading but in pairs trading we are looking for a price reversion.
The IWM, the ETF of the Russell 2000, is at all time highs. The DIA, the ETF of the DOW 30, is not. We are looking for a price reversion and for the IWM to decrease in relation to the DIA.
Implied volatility and implied volatility rank have stayed low. That's why ATM debit spreads were chosen. Tom cautioned that several things have to go right but that the exercise of going through the trade will provide a good lesson. The trade is outlined including the strikes for each, the expiration, the debits for each spread and the total debit. Another slide displays a table showing the current price of the underlying, directional bias, buying power reduction, DTE, break even prices and probability of profit (POP).
