Could you please provide the exact details of the trade?

It is my understanding they will be contacting all clients with the new agreements. Maybe just let them know that you prefer to stay at the current pricing?

Update from Tradier: They are in the process of making an update to their pricing. The new subscription pricing is: $0 for equity $10 for equity and options (previously $40) $60 for tradehawk equity and options The plan is to reach out to each person currently enrolled and update their price effective Nov 1. One change to note with this new price is that they will be charging .35 a contract for single listed index options (SPX, RUT, VIX ect ..) The disclaimer is as follows; Single Listed Index Options are subject to a $0.35/contract fee in addition to any pass-thought exchange fees. Tradier Brokerage passes along all exchange, OCC, and regulatory fees.

When exercising a call option, the owner of the option purchases the underlying shares (or commodities, fixed interest securities, etc.) at the strike price from the option seller, while for a put option, the owner of the option sells the underlying to the option seller, again at the strike price. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_(options) Options can be automatically exercised at expiration only.

There is no margin for calendar spreads, only the debit that you pay. IB does require some learning curve, but t's one of the best brokers in terms of commissions and execution.

That's not possible. Please make sure your legs are correct.

Thank you Jeff for introducing it. I hope the website can be useful to our members.

One of the most frequent questions we get is: "Can I execute SteadyOptions trades in a IRA account?" My answer is: "Generally speaking - yes, but it depends on your broker, on your option level approval, the account type etc." We trade only risk defined strategies, never naked, so that should not be an issue. Long straddles, long calendars etc. should be possible to trade in IRA accounts. I invite members to share their experience about trading our strategies in IRA accounts. I know many do, and we would like to gather some relevant data.

The TLT Elephant has been discontinued. The strategy was not managed in a manner consistent with our site trading style and philosophy. Performance: August 2018: -5.71% September 2018: +11.50% October 2018: +16.45% November 2018: +1.93% January 2019: -32.15% February 2019: -33.29% The strategy was managed by Scott Batchelar.

In January 2019, we have made a decision to discontinue the Steady Condors strategy and replace it with Steady Momentum. We have decided that under the current market conditions, Steady Momentum offers better risk/reward than Steady Condors. The markets became too volatile, and Implied Volatility of the indexes did not correctly reflect that volatility. In other words, the options sellers did not get enough credits to be compensated for the risks. Those are the 6+ years monthly returns of the strategy: The strategy was managed by Jesse Blom.

This topic will include description of discontinued strategies, the reasons they have been discontinued and their performance.

The question everyone has to ask himself: was January just a fluke or the strategies stopped working? The answer is simple:if you remove the four 100% losers, we would be up 10% YTD. Of course there is no shoulda woulda coulda in trading. But this is a clear indication that the basic strategies are working fine overall. There is nothing fundamentally wrong. But not everyone can see it, and most people don't really care. They want results, they don't care why specific trade made or lost money. The analogy that like to give: Most investors know that in the long term, the stock market produces around 10% annual return. Then why so many select to liquidate their stock holdings after a major drawdown? If you did not panic in 2008 and held your stock portfolio, you would be watching it almost tripling in the next 10 years.

Yep. Most people don't. And I can guarantee you that once the Treasury market stabilizes, you will start seeing excellent returns from the CA strategy as well.

Some strategies definitely have issues due to crazy moves, but I wouldn't say that about SO. We had one bad month in January, I provided a full analysis here. It was simply a combination of few bad trades that came all in one month. The funny thing is that if the same loss came at the end of 2018, nobody wouldn't even notice because we would still have almost triple digit return in 2018. But since the loss came at the beginning of a calendar year, the year so far doesn't look good. Our long term members know that this is just a bump in a road. It can happen, and for a strategy with triple digit annual return in the last 7 years, it is not uncommon to have such a drawdown once in 3-4 years. Members who stick around are usually well rewarded.

Of course he does. He needs to protect himself against lawsuits. But how many people really read those small print disclosures? I wouldn't call 1620% low returns. $7500? Wow! You could subscribe to all 4 our services for 3 years lol.. makes me think we should double our prices..

A Non Disclosure Agreement implies that there is some kind of secret formula that only members can enjoy and that cannot be shared. Well, let me tell you a secret (this one is free, I won't charge you $2,400😞 there is no secret formulas, secret strategies or secret sauces. All strategies are well known by most options trading professionals, and have been traded by thousands of traders. As to "low risk" trades - many strategies have been presented as low risk (including Karen Supertrader, James Cordier, LJM Preservation And Growth fund and others). We all know that "low risk" can be deceptive. In their backtesting results, they claim 1620% performance in 13 years. Does anyone really believe those kind of returns can be achieved with low risk? Personally, when someone presents those kind of returns and describes them as low risk strategies, and requests a $2,400 payment upfront upfront (with no free trial and no refunds), without a slight hint what the strategies are and how the returns are calculated, I would be very skeptical.
