Q. What can OPTION TRADE ALERTS do for me?
OPTION TRADE ALERTS will give you the edge you need to be a successful options trader. 95% of individual options traders loose money! That's because the deck is stacked against the individual options trader. It's not hard for any novice investor to understand WHY our trading method works! However, just 'understanding' WHY it works doesn't give you the ability to MAKE it work!
That's why we don't sell "How-To Books" which give you simple instructions which have no basis in reality! We do, on the other hand, sell "How-To Profit" - by using our service! It's simple, if you can't make money with us, then there's no reason to stay!
By using OPTION TRADE ALERTS, you will be ten steps ahead of the average options trader. We give you specific entry and exit points that we are personally trading the next business day. And we tell you how to manage each position. These Trading Instructions are so simple, a sixth grader could use them!
With all of our positions, you get complete, easy-to-follow, plain-English instructions. We tell you precisely which options we are about to sel… give you the strike price and expiration date… and an estimate of how much you should earn as a premium.
Put simply,
If you can access a computer, you can harness the enormous profit potential of this revolutionary service to trade options profitably!
OPTION TRADE ALERTS takes the guesswork out of when and what to sell. Don’t waste any time wondering which options to sell… we’ll find them for you. All you have to do is decide how many contracts you want to sell (if anything). And together, we’ll trade the market successfully earning enormous monthly profits!
Q. I am completely new to options trading. How can I learn about them?
Many of our subscribers started out with little or no experience trading options. After reviewing many, many sites, most started here because we've made it easy for the beginner to trade by simply following plain-english instruction! There is no guesswork involved here! After our extensive review, we tell you exactly what and when we trade!
Since we give you specific, step by step instructions on how to enter our trades and how to exit them, you can trade and profit from our service without actually understanding everything there is to know about stock options or the strategy we use.
Our Strategy works day-in and day-out and consistently makes money. Because we are experienced with this strategy and have already worked out the kinks, you won't have to "spin your wheels" for many months (or years) and lose money as you learn.
The first thing we recommend is to go to the Education Center on this web site and study this section. Next, after starting your subscription, open your brokerage account.
Test our strategy by paper trading with "play" money. Most options brokers will allow you to do this as a demo, prior to actually opening a "Live" account, or separately in your existing "Live" account. (After 30 days, you will wish that you would have used "Real" money!)
As you become more and more confident in writing credit spreads, slowly transition into trading "Real" money. The more comfortable you become the more you can increase your account size over time, and you'll gradually realize that you've discovered a new income stream that you've never had before.
Q. How much time each day would I need to monitor my trades?
About 10 to 20 minutes per day....just to see how the market is doing. Because the "safe zone" for each typical stock strangle trade is so wide, we usually have plenty of time to watch the stock price to make sure they are not getting too close to our stop-loss thresholds.
Remember, this is not a Day trading Strategy! The Trading System is specifically designed to minimize time commitment whilst maximizing profitability for any lifestyle, busy or retired. Usually, there is a steady decrease in the value of the option which works in our favor. Every decrease in option value is an increase in your account value, until the option eventually expires and we have no more obligation.
When we send out alerts, You only need to enter your trades and automate the downside exit with your stop-loss! Since most of our option contracts expire worthless, you have no need to make another trade on that option. You simply watch your account increase in value from the premiums received!
You need not monitor the market throughout the day at all! Simply act on on our alerts and you are done! Just imagine how much extra time you'll have for other activities!

Q. Can you really make money regardless of which way the market goes?
The simple answer is yes. But not with your ordinary, “buy a stock or option and hope it goes up” strategy!
We have spent years researching and testing ways to make money regardless of what the market did. Over the years, our founding members developed one strategy in particular that was unlike anything before.
We at OPTION TRADE ALERTS believe that Credit Spread strategy provides the highest return and most consistent monthly cash flow requiring the least amount work, anxiety & hassle. The OPTION TRADE ALERTS Service only focuses on writing non-directional Credit Spreads on common stock. This strategy has proven over the years to generate tremendous annual returns.
It’s a system that can make a lot of money regardless of which way the market goes, doesn’t require a lot of starting capital or time, and can be implemented by just about anyone, regardless of market knowledge.
Q. How do you calculate your gains?
Our gains are calculated based on the closing positions for the expiration month in question. All of our accounts are margin accounts, so we take the net amount of the gain/loss and divide it by the margin requirements for that particular position, and that gives us our percentage gains for that month.
Q. What kind of brokerage account do I need?
You need to have a brokerage account that allows you to trade "Naked Options" and "Credit Spreads."
For some brokerage houses, you will need Level 5 trading privileges in order to trade credit spreads. For more on this, please click on the "Getting Started" link on the left side of this page.
Q. How much money do I need to have in my brokerage account?
Technically, you could get going with a $3,500 account at your brokerage firm but after commissions and membership fees, you would actually lose money on winning trades.
We suggest an account of at least $10,000. This way, after all extra costs, you will still make a profit on winning trades.
Ideally, having $15,000 or more would be best but we understand not everyone has this much risk capital.
I know this may seem rediculous but we need to mention, you Should Not trade Options If You...
- Go Further Into Debt! Under no circumstances should you need to borrow more money to open an account. Options trading involves significant risks and you shouldn't be trading with an amount you cannot afford to lose.
- Default On Your Family Commitments! If you promised to use your proposed trading capital as a down payment for a home, or tuition for your child's education and are about to use that money to trade, DON'T! Family always comes first and your promise to your family and the trust they give you is PRICELESS!
- Cannot Afford To Lose A Dime More! Options should not be traded with "Scared Money"! (money you are too scared to lose, therefore all your trades are in an effort "not to lose money")
Q. Is the OPTION TRADE ALERTS strategy guaranteed?
No! You can lose money with this strategy. However, If after 1 year, using our methods, you do not make money on your invested capital, we will promptly refund DOUBLE your money, no questions asked.
After all, this service would be worthless, if you couldn't make at least that! OPTION TRADE ALERTS stands behind this strategy and our DOUBLE your money back guarantee.

Q. How are memberships canceled?
Memberships are canceled by emailing us with your request to cancel 3 days prior to the expiration of the billing cycle. A notification will be sent to you within 24 hours to confirm cancellation.
We will leave your membership running until your subscription period runs out or if you cancel. You can cancel at anytime.
Q. How much does the service cost?
The OPTION TRADE ALERTS service costs $75/month and is charged monthly through a Visa, Master card, American Express credit card, or using your existing PayPal account. You may cancel the service at any time.
Q. How many positions do you trade in a given month?
Typically 5 to 7 trade alerts are given each month to open NEUTRAL positions.
Although most of our credit spreads are scheduled to expire worthless, representing 100% profit, we usually take profits early. So instead of being 100% profitable, we shoot for 70-80% profitability! This reduces our liability for having to perform on these contracts and has the added benefit of giving us the ability to take advantage of new opportunities which have presented themselves later in the cycle.
In addition, there are usually 1 or 2 positions which need adjustment, where we actually have the chance to earn even more on those positions and be more than 100% profitable!
For those, we will most likely be sending out advisories as needed, providing detailed instructions on how to maneuver and make adjustments to both increase earnings and protect our trading capital.
Q. How should I allocate my trading capital per your trade alerts?
To make a lot of money with any investment program one of the most important components is proper portfolio management. Institutional investors know this, hedge fund managers know this, and Wall Street insiders know this. It’s time the average investor gets clued in to this amazing profit booster.
Proper portfolio management sounds complicated. Trust us, its not. You can avoid 99% of the mistakes most investors make by following just three basic principles that have been used by professionals like Warren Buffett for decades.
First, allocate the same amount of available funds to each investment idea. When we sell spreads, we recieve premiums. We also "tie" up funds which the brokerage firm sees as the guarentee that we can perform on the contract's obligation. Each brokerage firm is different, but all use an internal formula for figuring out how much cash is tied up!
On Wall Street, this is called ‘position sizing’ and it’s very important if you want to invest successfully.
Second, have a sell discipline in place at all times. By this I mean, know when you’re going to get out before you even make the trade. You can eliminate a lot of psychological mistakes by doing this. The good news is, with our strategy, we give you guidelines on when to unload your positions for maximum profit.
Third, don’t succumb to fear and greed. Don’t stress out when things go down and get crazy when things go up. You must have some mechanism in place to deal with the ups and downs of the market. If you do, you’ll be richer (and happier) than you’ve ever imagined!
Applying these rules is important –crucial really – yet it amazes me how so few investors actually pay attention to them when investing their hard-earned money.
So, unfortunately, this is not an exact science. Our hard and fast rule is to distribute no more than 10% of available trading capital to each opening position alert which we issue, and keep no less than 15% in cash as a hedge, to make adjustments easy! We want each position to expire worthless, however, we will sell and "rollover" if another opportunity presents itself, and offers a greater profit potential!
Our portfolio management is a synergistic mix of speculation, diversification and capital preservation!
Q. When are alerts usually sent out via email?
All trade alerts are emailed by 9 PM EST. As long as you enter the order between 4pm EST and 9:30am EST the following business day, you will have the order entered on time.
Email alerts are sent out whenever a new recommendation is given or whenever an important update is published.
When an alert is emailed out, we also simultaneously post it on our website in the member's area. You will need your login and password to access the Alert Archive.
At every position entry, a stop loss order is suggested to protect an unforseen downside. This order is not time sensitive but should be entered as soon as possible.
Email alerts are not sent out for the stop loss order since it is always posted along with the entry.

Q. Are stop loss orders used?
Yes, on occasion. However, the stop loss is not based on a specific percentage or dollar amount so the loss incurred on losing trades will vary.
Stop loss orders are a necessity when trading any market. Markets are still unpredictable, and no matter what trading strategy is employed, there will always be a downside risk.
Q. Where are all the glowing testimonials?
I'm sure that you have noticed a difference between our site and others you have visited! We do not have any testimonials listed on this site because they serve no purpose. We feel our performance numbers speak for themselves.
All Testimonials are misleading to customers because while a service happily lists all the positive testimonials, you never see them listing any of the negative ones.
The only companies that typically use testimonials are companies that do not invite you to "test drive" their system before you purchase! They instead use "cherry picked" past performance trades and outdated testimonials to entice you into joining the service.
This way they can hide their bad performance while continuing to post old testimonials that were received after profitable trades to promote the success of the service.
Services that use testimonials instead of "real time" trading, often also selectively post big wins on their site while neglecting to post the big losses.
The SEC actually forbids registered advisors from using testimonials for the reasons we state above. Although we are not registered with the SEC (nor are we required to), we share the same opinion as the SEC and believe that you should simply post past performance numbers and allow the public to decide for themselves whether or not the service is right for them instead of trying to cherry pick certain customer comments to mislead customers.
Besides, by offering a double your money back guarantee, you really have nothing to lose!
What about "Autotrading?" Do you offer autotrading?
Nothing has caused us more confusion than autotrading!
First of all, lets get it out in the open: We do not offer autotrading! We are not Investment Advisors, and nor do we hold ourselves out as providing investment advice! Your use of the website is limited to following trades that we are about to make in our live accounts!
We have had our fill of fiduciary responsibility and trading client's funds! We make an insane multiple of what is considered adequate commission as traders of our own account rather than making reccomendations and 'Selling a Story'!
Plus, we have a very hard time understanding how any service which offers auto-trading can manipulate the rules and 'fit' between the lines so as to avoid being investigated. In the age of 'follow the angry crowd' legislation, we believe that autotrading websites will soon have something to worry about! Just google the term 'autotrading' and see what the SEC has to say!
We believe that the 'inconvenienc' of having to trade their own funds gives our subscribers an extra level of protection and understanding of what and how they are managing their accounts!
Q. If this is such a good strategy, why do you only charge $75.00 per month?
We at OPTION TRADE ALERTS have a loftier goal than simply making money on these recommendations. Since 95% of all individual traders lose money on options, we want to tip the tide slightly, to encourage more trading in this market.
See, the options market is a symbiotic arena. All traders need each other and the Exchanges to provide liquidity and desire for these products. In other words, the option seller couldn't survive without the option buyer.
By offering this service at a reasonable price, we want to encourage more investors to join. More investors making money makes for a healthier market! However,to solve the problem of diluting our efforts, we reserve the right to limit members to the service at any time.
We feel that limiting membership to the service is the only way to keep our pricing target and still ensure order volume on the recommended trades does not create execution problems.
Furthermore, in order to maintain the highest level of customer service possible, it may become necessary to close the service to new subscribers in order to ensure that current customers receive the quality of service they deserve.
We do not have a fixed membership limit so the service can close at any time depending on current circumstances. Once we reach our limit, new subscribers will be placed on a waiting list until we have an opening available.
Our service advocates selling spreads because we know that we can consistently generate cash with minimal effort. However, we realize that our goals may be in jepardy if the market becomes too diluted.
By charging an exorbitant fee we would be just like everyone else, out to get small investors' money, without any other real motivation.
