Why Credit Spread Alerts Are Gaining Traction in 2025
If you’ve felt overwhelmed by options alerts that promise the moon but create chaos, you’re not alone. Most traders I talk to are tired of guessing games, YOLO trades, and alert services that feel more like gambling than strategy.
But in 2025, something is shifting. More traders — especially those who prioritize consistency and risk management — are turning to credit spread alerts. These aren’t just trade tips. They’re structured, rules-based signals that aim to deliver defined-risk income with no guesswork.
For starters, thanks to broker integrations with Interactive Brokers, Tradier, and AutoShares, you can now fully automate these alerts. That means you remove your emotions, you never miss trades, and you won’t stare at charts all day.
In this article, I’ll walk you through how two long-running alert services — Weekly Trend and Monthly Trend — help real traders generate consistent results with minimal risk exposure.
What Are Credit Spread Alerts — and Why Do They Matter?
Credit spread alerts are pre-analyzed trade recommendations that tell you exactly when and how to open a defined-risk credit spread. Instead of spending hours scanning charts or second-guessing market direction, you receive a simple alert with entry, strike prices, expiration date, and expected risk-to-reward ratio.
These alerts typically focus on strategies like the bull put spread or bear call spread. What’s more, many traders favor these approaches because they offer defined risk.
Why do they matter? Because credit spreads flip the typical trading mindset. Instead of chasing gains, you manage risk and collect premium. And when those alerts follow a proven system — not a gut feeling — you can scale with confidence.
Ultimately, with the right alerts and a clear system, even beginner traders can generate weekly or monthly income — without watching charts all day or making emotional trades.
Real-World Results: Two Credit Spread Signal Services That Actually Work
There’s no shortage of signal services online, but very few back it up with a real track record — let alone 12 years of proven performance. That’s why I built Advanced AutoTrades: to deliver institutional-grade, risk-defined trading to everyday investors through transparent, automated alerts.
We offer two distinct services, each tailored to a different type of trader:
- Weekly Trend – Perfect for active traders chasing aggressive account growth. This strategy runs 5 short-term SPY or SPX trades per week, each risking $50 with a 60% historical win rate.
- Monthly Trend – Built for beginners and risk-averse investors. It sends one high-quality SPX bull put spread alert per month, with a $500 risk per trade, a 55% win rate, and a powerful 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio.
Both services work seamlessly with our broker integrations at AutoShares, Tradier, and Interactive Brokers. No guesswork. Better yet, forget emotional trades. Say goodbye to staring at charts all day. Just time-tested strategies running on autopilot.
Weekly Trend: Compounding Weekly Credit Spreads on SPY/SPX
Want to grow your account faster — without gambling on high-risk trades? The Weekly Trend service does exactly that.
This strategy targets 5 credit spread trades per week, typically on SPY or SPX. A rules-based algorithm picks each trade for its high-probability setup. You can start small — risking just $50 per trade — and scale up as your confidence builds.
Moreover, with a 60% win rate and a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, it may not sound flashy — until you factor in the power of compounding across 52 weeks. Our long-term results show an average annual return of 235.35%, net of losing weeks and commissions.
Set it and let it run. By linking your brokerage account (AutoShares, Interactive Brokers, or Tradier), our system can handle execution for you. Emotions are removed. Trades never get missed. And you won’t have to stare at charts all day.

Monthly Trend: Safer, Slower Bull Put Spread Signals on SPX
If you’re a beginner, a conservative investor, or just too busy to monitor markets daily, the Monthly Trend service fits your pace.
This strategy focuses on just one trade per month: a carefully chosen bull put spread on SPX. Each trade limits your risk to $500 and follows a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. That means when the trade hits — which it does about 55% of the time — your return is double the amount you risked.
In fact, with an average annual return of 115.53% over the past 12 years, this strategy has earned the trust of doctors, retirees, and working professionals seeking passive income without the stress of day trading.
Like Weekly Trend, you can fully automate this service through trusted brokers like AutoShares, Tradier, and Interactive Brokers. Set it up once — and let the system take care of the rest.

How Automation Works — And Why It Changes the Game
Let’s face it — even the best trading strategy can fail if you miss entries, chase trades, or hesitate to act. That’s why we built both Weekly Trend and Monthly Trend with full auto-execution capability.
Once you subscribe, simply link your brokerage account to one of our trusted partners: AutoShares, Interactive Brokers, or Tradier. After that, the system handles execution — no manual entry, no screen watching, and no emotional mistakes.
As a result, our system sends every trade alert directly to your broker using secure API integration. It places trades based on our strategy rules and Defined-risk spreads protect your capital on every trade.
Automation isn’t just convenient — it gives you an edge. It enforces discipline, removes hesitation, and keeps you on track with the system as designed.

What Sets These Alert Services Apart From the Rest
It’s easy to find trading alerts. It’s hard to find credible ones.
Most alert services push hype, bury the risks, or come from traders with no real track record. Advanced AutoTrades takes a different path. Our signal services draw on over 12 years of verified performance, powered by institutional-grade strategies tailored for retail traders.
- Defined risk only — We never send naked options or undefined-risk trades. You’ll always know your maximum loss before entering a position.
- Independent broker integration — You stay in full control of your funds. We don’t touch your money or hold custody.
- Built by a Wall Street veteran — I designed these systems based on decades of institutional trading experience to deliver disciplined, risk-managed strategies for everyday investors.
- Audit-ready performance records — We base our historical returns on real trades and fully document everything for transparency.
When you trade with us, you’re not chasing a guru — you’re using a system built to last.

Who Should Use These Credit Spread Alerts?
Not every trading strategy fits every trader. That’s why we offer two distinct alert services — each one tailored to a different risk profile, time commitment, and growth objective.
Weekly Trend: Built for Growth-Oriented Traders
For example, if you’re an active trader aiming to grow your account aggressively — even with as little as $1,000 — Weekly Trend fits your style. It’s ideal for:
- Tech-savvy traders who want multiple trades per week
- Traders focused on scaling quickly with small, consistent risks
- Users who prefer higher trade frequency with tight risk controls
Monthly Trend: Perfect for Beginners and Busy Professionals
On the other hand, if you prefer a low-maintenance strategy and prioritize capital preservation over speed, Monthly Trend was made for you. It’s perfect for:
- Doctors, retirees, and full-time professionals
- New traders who want to avoid market noise and trade just once a month
- Anyone who values a safer 1:2 risk-to-reward setup with clearly defined rules
