About this strategy

SolidOptionTrader sells (writes) uncovered Put-Options and some uncovered Call-Options. The goal is to keep the premium received by selling the options and by limiting the risk associated to every trade. By doing this over and over again and by adding a sound money management system, which is incorporated in SolidOptionTrader, we aim to grow the account consistently month after month.

Every position will be opened as a limit order. No stop-loss orders will be used, instead we will usually close out a losing position as soon as the price of the underlying is approaching the strike price. On some occasions we will let a position go In-The-Money when a reversal of the underlying is expected. On some rare occasions (on put options only) we will even let to be assigned the underlying stock after the option expires if we expect an immediate reversal of the stock - in this case we will then sell the stock at break-even (or better) or sell a (covered) Call-Option. All trades are monitored in realtime by our proprietary Software.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
