An option is a contract to buy or sell an underlying asset, typically a stock or index, on a future date. Since all contracts have an expiration date, its value decreases with each passing day. Contracts for stocks are called stock options, and contracts for indexes are called index options. These options can be bought and/or sold in varying combinations to fit a myriad of needs, achieving different goals. They can also be used as a type of insurance on assets. Most contracts don't meet the criteria to be exercised and expire worthless. Our strategy sells this "insurance" for each position.
We sell options contracts to open positions that are structured in a manner to net a credit, which are known as credit spreads. The value of these spreads decrease over time. If all goes well, these positions simply expire and the premium we collected from the sale become realized gains. On occasion, we may also buy options if the right opportunity presents itself. We may shift our strategy if market conditions change.
We try to pull in a gross return of 17-20% each month.
Typically, we open 3-5 trades each month.
When we see an opportune entry point, we will simultaneously send trade signals via e-mail to all our subscribers and autotrade providers. These trade alerts will outline detailed instructions on how to submit each trade. All the latest messages and current/past trades will also be posted in our member's area.
Hold times are between 0-2 days long. Currently most of our positions are 0DTE, which means they expire the same day they are opened.

It is very important that you open an account with an options friendly broker that will allow credit spread trades. They will understand our trading strategy and have better pricing. Be sure that your broker can trade options on the Russell 2000 Index (RUT). If you haven't already chosen a broker, visit our Autotrade Page for some options.
This is something that you need to figure out for yourself and depends on your goals and expectations. Most of our subscribers have started trading with $10,000 or $20,000. However much you invest, be sure that you DO NOT invest everything you have into any one trade.
Absolutely not. There are NO GUARANTEES for any type of investment. All trades come with a certain level of risk.
