We suggest using a stop-loss set at 3 times the premium collected. For example, if you collect $1.00 per share ($100 per contract), we recommend placing a stop-loss at $4.00. This helps limit losses while still allowing the trade room to breathe. You keep $100 per contract regardless of the trade.

We typically use a $10-wide spread when trading SPX credit spreads. However, we implement a 3x stop-loss rule to manage risk. This means that while the maximum theoretical loss is the full $10 width, most losing trades will be exited well before reaching max loss—typically when the stop-loss threshold is hit.

Trades are typically opened on day one and closed when they can be bought back for $0.05 or allowed to expire worthless. Since we're selling premium, the strategy is designed to collect "insurance" and let time decay (theta) work in our favor.

We’ve consistently grown small accounts by following the strategy alerts with disciplined risk management. For detailed results, please refer to the "Historical Performance" section above.

Yes — this program is specifically designed to support small accounts. While a $5,000 USD account is ideal, it can work with as little as $3,000 USD. We typically alert 1–2 trades per week, with an average hold time of about a day and a half.

Great question! There are two main reasons:

Cash Settlement & European-Style Expiration:
SPX options settle in cash and follow European-style rules, meaning they cannot be assigned early. This is especially helpful for short options that may briefly go in the money but recover before expiration — avoiding early assignment helps preserve winning trades.

Lower Contract Costs:
Most brokers charge per contract. Since SPX is a larger instrument, trading 5 SPX contracts can offer similar exposure as 50 SPY contracts, but with significantly lower commission costs.
