About this strategy

This strategy is focused on trading for income. We will sell puts to generate income when opening a position. Sometimes we will want to purchase the underlying stock of the puts we sell so we can then own the stock to write covered calls. Therefore a trade may show as a loss on the put sell even though it is not closed and also with the intention of purchase the stock at a discount. Even when purchasing the stock at a discount you will still keep the original premium received when selling an option to open a position.

The focus is low risk, recurring, reliable and consistent income.

In the model portfolio we will always trade one position. The cash and margin requirements will be based on the underlying stock price. Scale accordingly knowing the trades issued will always be for 1 contract, no matter what the stock price is.

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.
