Strategy description
Theta Contra Crude is an intraday options strategy on Crude Oil with a unique contra-style approach to traditional straddle booking. Unlike most systems that lock profits and walk away, Theta Contra goes a step further — sometimes booking profits on the winning leg and riding the reversal on the losing leg with precision-timed conviction. Other times, it behaves as a standard straddle strategy, letting theta and price action do the work.
This strategic versatility enables the model to adapt to changing intraday dynamics and benefit from mean-reversion moves while also capturing time decay in range-bound conditions.
Key Highlights of Theta Contra Crude
? Active Timing:
Trades daily from 3:40 PM to 11:10 PM, with dynamic entry and exit based on market behavior.
Avoids trading on Crude Options expiry day due to low premiums and high gamma volatility.
? Intelligent Strategy Behavior:
Contra Style: May book the profitable leg and hold the losing side, anticipating a reversal — ideal for sharp intraday whipsaws.
Traditional Straddle Mode: Sometimes, it may hold both sides like a classic straddle to maximize theta decay.
? Fully Automated Execution:
No manual intervention required.
If an error is flagged by Tradetron, kindly check and reconcile broker positions to avoid mismatch.
