Reasoning: Being that we're already up 25% on a trade with 70 days yet to go to realize the maximum gain, we're going to close this trade out here for a nice profit after just a month. Note: our limit order of $0.10 may not get filled right away. If you wanted to close this trade out immediately, you could at $0.11. Of course, if you're really bullish on Sprint, you could hold out till May 20th to see if you can capture the full 56% yield from the trade.

  2. Larry,

    By simultaneously selling options at the same time you’re buying them, you actually need less to put on a trade than if you just bought those options. Our trades are based upon a $10,000 account. Many of our members have trading accounts in the 6 and 7 figure range, so they simply multiply the difference between their account and ours by the number of contracts we’re trading. For example, if we’re trading 2 contracts per leg, then someone with a $100K account would trade 20 contracts per leg. Or, if you had a $5K account, you’d trade just 1 contract per leg.

    In order to participate in most of our trades, you’d need at least $5,000 in your account.

    Our service is $89 per month.
