How It Works
Built for Safety, Backed by Data, Designed for Simplicity
Our strategy focuses on SPX’s historical tendency to rise over time. Each month, we place one $10-wide bull put spread using a limit order to ensure consistency. Trades last around 30 days, helping you avoid daily market noise and emotional overreactions.
We limit risk to just 5% of your account per trade. Our target risk-reward ratio is 1:2, and since 2013, we’ve only experienced three consecutive losses once—a strong track record of consistency.
New to options? No problem. Our auto-trading setup places the trades for you. Prefer to trade manually? We’ll show you how.
✔ Uses SPX’s long-term trend (not short-term noise)
✔ One $10-wide bull put spread per month
✔ ~30-day duration removes emotions
✔ Auto-trading available, or we guide you to do it manually
We’ve only seen three consecutive losses in 12 years. That’s the kind of consistency conservative investors count on.
Live Results from 2025
The following data pertains to auto trading live trades on SPX, utilizing a risk management approach of 5% per trade. This analysis incorporates the compounding effect based on an initial account balance of $100,000 for SPX.
For verification purposes, we encourage you to review the publicly available data regarding trade entries, which include the open price at the time of the trade and the closing price on the exit day. Typically, a trade is classified as a winner if the exit price exceeds the entry price, and a loser if it does not.
While we acknowledge that short-term results may exhibit fluctuations, our primary focus is on achieving sustainable annual returns. Our performance over the past 12 years underscores our commitment to long-term consistency in trading outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We recommend allocating a risk of 5% of the account balance for each trade.
For instance, with an initial account balance of $100,000, the potential outcomes would involve a profit of $10,000 for a winning trade and a loss of $5,000 for a losing trade.
Traders who possess a higher risk tolerance may consider risking 7.5% or even 10% per trade, significantly enhancing potential returns through the process of compounding. Specifically, a risk of 5% is associated with an average annual return of 54.25%, while a 10% risk could lead to returns exceeding 100% per year.
For those intending to compound their profits, it is advisable to utilize the “percentage of account value” allocation feature available in Global AutoTrading or AutoShares.
Over the past twelve years, our strategy has demonstrated exceptional robustness, with no more than three consecutive losing trades.
Scaling in is advisable primarily if you intend to increase your risk to 10% per trade. We recommend starting conservatively at 5% risk to build confidence in the bull put spread strategy. Once you feel comfortable, you may consider scaling up to 10%, which enhances capital utilization.
The S&P 500 is inherently structured to appreciate over time due to several key factors:
- Economic Growth – Inflation, innovation, and corporate earnings naturally drive prices higher.
- Foreign Investment – Global capital consistently flows into U.S. markets, reinforcing demand.
- Market Psychology – Public companies are incentivized to meet and exceed Wall Street expectations.
- Buybacks & Reinvestment – Firms allocate profits toward stock buybacks and reinvestment, fueling sustained growth.
- Survivorship Bias – Weaker companies are replaced by stronger ones, ensuring the index reflects market leaders.
Yes, all trades displayed in our performance tables represent real executed trades, not hypothetical ones.
While brokerage commission costs cannot be explicitly included, they typically remain minimal with our bull put spread strategy, as we engage in only one trade per month.
We maintain only one active trade at a time to maximize capital efficiency and manage risk effectively.
This approach allows traders to diversify with other strategies or maintain liquidity for new opportunities. It is particularly suited for conservative traders and those new to options trading, providing a structured and risk-conscious entry into the market.
Yes, the monthly trend strategy can be traded in a cash account. Since it exclusively utilizes bull put spreads, margin is not required.
Each trade is fully collateralized, meaning the broker holds the necessary cash to cover the maximum potential loss. This makes the strategy particularly suitable for traders who prefer to avoid leverage while still leveraging the advantages of options trading.
No, there is no risk of assignment when trading SPX options. Unlike stock options, SPX options are cash-settled, meaning there is no physical delivery of shares upon expiration. Even if an SPX option expires in the money, it is settled in cash based on the difference between the strike price and the index’s final settlement value.
This cash-settlement feature eliminates assignment risk, making SPX options an efficient and safer choice, particularly for traders using cash accounts.
Yes, you can utilize the Monthly Trend strategy within an IRA account, assuming your broker permits credit spread trading. This strategy primarily employs bull put spreads, which are generally accepted in IRA accounts with appropriate approval. Brokers such as Tradier and Interactive Brokers facilitate this strategy for IRA trading.
It is advisable to verify with your broker to confirm that options for spread trading in an IRA are properly enabled.
