Yo Pit Crazies,
There is a whole universe of trade types out there.
Some are simple and some are more complex.
What goes into choosing what sort of trade to make – and when?
Why, in a given situation, trade an Iron Condor, a credit spread or a straddle?
The answer is simple – you trade them for edge, for advantage, for profit.
Now, the second question is how to do that?
I will show you how.
Livin’ on the Edge
The simple definition of edge is finding something cheap on a relative basis.
Mark and I have been bringing floor trader techniques to retail traders for 11 years now. Eleven years!
I can tell you to find an edge, but traders might want to know why.
One great reason: To cheat time.
Any time I can speed up the option decay, I call that accelerated theta.
Any time I can slow down the option decay, I call that arrested theta.
If I am an option seller, I want accelerated theta, and if I buy options I want arrested decay.
That increases the chance of any option trade for success. And I want that since as a retail trader I can pick my entry point.
Trade for edge … close for dough.
Now, if only you could receive those trade entries by merely pressing a button.
Hey, that’s not a bad idea!
Stay tuned …
The Rundown
Nitro Trader
Mark and I closed an Apple Inc. (Ticker: AAPL) put butterfly and an Alphabet Inc. (Ticker: GOOGL) call fly for an average of 20% return on both. Note: one was up and one was down market but both paid
