A cross-market trading strategy
Background
The A-share and U.S. stock markets are somewhat segregated. There is a lack of investment channels in China, and A-shares lack derivative tools. Trading U.S. stocks domestically may be subject to taxation.
Operation
- Sell calls on TQQQ in the U.S. market to profit from time decay, including the decay of calls and the decay of triple leverage.
- To hedge against a sharp rise in TQQQ, buy the Nasdaq ETF 159941 in the A-share market. In the event of a significant rise in QQQ, the A-share ETF may have a 10%-20% premium.
- To hedge against a sharp drop in TQQQ, short positions in TQQQ may not cover losses, so buy gold ETFs in the A-share market, as gold and U.S. stocks have been negatively correlated this year.
- To hedge against a drop in gold, sell calls on the double-leveraged gold ETF UGL in the U.S. market to mitigate some risk.
- Since the Nasdaq and gold tend to rise over the long term, sell calls on SQQQ and GLL to capture beta returns.
Advantages
- Profit from time decay.
- Achieve cross-market linkage, transferring some U.S. stock returns to the A-share market.
