Yo Pit Crazies,
Very soon I am going to release my Weekly Profits Cycles at Option Pit. It has been running at Money Map Press since March but we are going to support it at Option Pit 100%.
So why does anybody care about a non-correlated return when the Invesco QQQ Trust (Ticker: QQQ) jumps 46% in a year?
My Weekly Profits Cycles did not return 46% although it is not out of reach if I close things a little better.
During the same period I started WPC in March, SPX was up around 13%.
So I beat the SPX handily.
Official stats from MMP:
Now there is no doubt the tech market screamed but it was nerve wracking. Even just recently with SPX around 4100 a couple weeks ago. The market can move up and down.
Now this is the crazy part. I out performed the SPX owning SPDR S&P 500 Trust (Ticker: SPY) put spreads nearly the whole time!!!!!
How did I outperform the SPX owning SPY puts the whole time the market went straight up?
Non Correlated returns just means you have to find money outside SPY going up
You don’t have to, I do that.
There is nothing wrong with trading a story. If I had the stones to believe that the Mag 7 would power QQQ up crazy, I would have held on and bought more. Tech is the thing that can really fly. Every decade tech looks a little different. Right now that money is phones, cloud and AI. It could be like that for the next 10 years, who knows. But it will come back to earth at some point, it always does.
For my Weekly Profits Cycles, I use VIX to create a non-correlated side to my SPY trade. VIX has up to an 80% anti-correlation to SPY. If SPY aint making money most of the time VIX is.
My most profitable services, Trading Desk, Easy Trade Button, OP Mentoring, Pro and Weekly Profits Cycles use an anti-correlated piece. Different durations and underlyings but all the same underlying vol strategy I have used for 30 years. The VIX part over the last 10 years kicked it into high gear.
The best part of my Weekly Profits Cycles strategy is when the market is in upheaval, I am sleeping soundly.
It is coming Dec 06.
To Your Trading Success
