“Sweet Bobby Hedge” (Black Swan hedge) — method / framework described

The speaker provides a structured process for hedging with SPX options: buy first, then sell against the bought legs.

  1. Choose underlying

    • ES (used as the workflow reference for S&P 500 options; they say “go to es where we like to put it”).

  2. Set timeline

    • Target about ~120 days
    • They repeatedly mention far out of the money positioning.

  3. Build the hedge structure

    • The long side involves buying options (exact long/short labeling is unclear in the transcript).
    • They describe a long leg sized as:
      • “buy 20 of these”
      • “play 305” is referenced, but the exact strike naming is unclear.

  4. Sell additional options against the long leg

    • Sell ~12 against the long leg (they also mention 8–12 while clicking through).
    • They aim for about $3.25 premium (“try to get three and a quarter”), but may not reach it.

  5. Validate via simulations

    • Use Analyze → Simulations.
    • Hedge-only scenario
      • If SPX crashes ~20%, hedge-only P/L could be up ~90 (they also mention ~$9,800 as a starting/current hedge value; exact mapping is unclear).
      • Volatility sensitivity: they claim the hedged result improves with volatility, citing a wider range and a possible up ~$86,000 (transcript formatting is imperfect).
    • Portfolio-level simulation
      • They instruct removing T-bills / money market accounts from the portfolio simulation (they claim those “are missing us up”).
      • Example outcomes:
        • -20% down: - $111,000
        • With volatility adjustment: could swing to + $10,000 to + $20,000
      • They describe this as “perfectly hedged to the downside.”

  6. Caution / disclaimer-like discussion about Theta

    • They discuss negative Theta on the hedge and argue it is “fake,” referencing a prior dispute/lawsuit claim.
    • They translate that into practice as:
      • “assume negative Theta… is fake”
      • they must “keep that in mind” because Theta will still appear “a little bit low.”

  7. When / how to start the next tranche

    • After placing the hedge, they say to wait for another really good down day, then start selling against the hedge.
    • Short-leg management:
      • “harvest these 12 short puts” (their wording)
      • When shorts reach about $0.20, place a closing order at $0.20
      • Order type: GTC
    • Next tranche rollout:
      • When the closing order triggers (or shortly before), sell another 3 to 6 naked puts
      • Then place GTC buy orders for more puts (examples: 5–10 or “many trunch”)
      • The goal is to structure the overall position as a target credit/debit.

  8. Explicit outcome framing

    • They state that even if the market crashes “today” (they mention “World War 3”), the account is “perfectly fine,” i.e., the hedge works as intended.
    • They emphasize it is in conjunction with other accounts, while specifically highlighting the hedged account.
