Master Trader – Mastering Advanced Credit Spreads For Income
For Investors and Active Traders Seeking Weekly and Monthly Income Trading Credit Spreads.
Mastering Advanced Credit Spreads Course is the perfect addition to the Master Trader Advisory Market Edge Swing and Options and Weekly Options Trader Letters.
Our Approach to Trading Advanced Credit Spreads
No matter what type of price action is happening in the market, weekly options hold incredible appeal because of the short-term low-risk strategy.
This Seminar will teach you how to find, place and manage option selling trade opportunities which expire soon (typically 10 days or less).
By selling short-term premium (options value), we are taking advantage of the option’s rapid loss of value because of what is called time decay.
In simple terms, in a short amount of time, the option will be worthless if it does not move in the options buyer’s favor. That is great for us!
We are getting paid to determine price levels above or below — or both — that will not be violated for a few days until Expiration! You will learn how.
It’s a beautiful thing and we’re going to teach you how to do it all!
CREDIT SPREADS are an easy way to generate income as Options sellers.
Margin requirements are low making it great for smaller investors.
The deck is stacked in your favor because TIME DECAY hurts Option buyers.
Even if prices move against you a certain amount, you still win!
You do not have to sit in front of your computer all day.
Spreads control risk because your maximum risk is pre-defined.
