The Methodology
Product summary
Built for peace of mind. Powered by experience. Easy to follow.
The Monthly Trend strategy is built on a simple idea: the S&P 500 usually moves higher over time.
So we place just one smart trade each month, aiming for steady, low-stress growth.
We keep risk small — only 5% to 10% of your account is used per trade. And each trade is set up so that if we’re right, we make about twice as much as we risk. Historically, we’ve been right about 55% of the time.
This simple approach avoids panic moves and overtrading. Since 2013, it’s had only three losing months in a row — a sign of how steady the results have been.
- Follows the Market’s Long-Term Growth – No guessing or day-trading.
- One Trade a Month – Easy to manage. Just one simple action.
- Around 30 Days Per Trade – Plenty of time for the trade to work.
- Auto or Manual – You decide whether to let the system trade or place it yourself.
This podcast episode explains how the Monthly Trend strategy works—one trade per month, built for stress-free trading with confidence.
2025 Performance Overview
The results below show real trades from our SPX auto-trading system. Every month, we carefully manage risk—never using more than 10% of the account at one time. The performance is based on a $100,000 starting balance and grows month by month.
We keep everything fully transparent. Each trade is tracked using real market prices you can look up yourself. A trade is counted as successful if the price at the end of the day is higher than when it was entered.
Even though markets can go up and down in the short term, our goal stays the same: steady growth. Over the past 12 years, our track record shows reliable results in many different market conditions.
Historical Performance
Since 2013, Monthly Trend has averaged a 115.5% yearly return — with fewer losses and smaller dips compared to the S&P 500.
Even in tough years, our strategy stayed strong and performed better than the market. The chart shows how Monthly Trend (with limited risk) outperformed the S&P 500 (with full risk) year after year.

Note: Monthly Trend keeps risk low by using only 10% of the account for each trade, while the S&P 500 example uses the full amount. All results shown are based on actual trades using real-time signals. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this strategy risky?
Every investment carries some risk, but this strategy is designed to keep it small and under control.
We risk only 5% of your account per trade, which means the most you could lose in a month is just that 5%—even in a worst-case scenario. You’re never exposed to unlimited losses.
We never trade naked options, which are the types of trades that can blow up accounts. Instead, we use defined-risk strategies like bull put spreads, where both the potential profit and loss are capped from the start.
Our goal is simple: grow your account steadily, without exposing you to major drawdowns.
How much should I allocate?
We recommend starting with just 5% of your account per trade.
For example, if you have $100,000 in your account, each trade would risk $5,000. A successful trade might earn around $10,000, while a losing trade could lose $5,000.
If you’re more comfortable with risk, you could increase that to 7.5% or even 10%. Historically, trading with 5% risk has averaged about 54% yearly returns, while 10% risk has delivered over 100% per year.
If you’re reinvesting profits, you can also use an automated feature that adjusts your trade size based on your growing account—available through brokers like Global AutoTrading or AutoShares.
What was the maximum number of losers in a row?
In the last twelve years, our strategy has shown remarkable consistency, with no more than three consecutive losing trades in any single year.
Should I scale in?
Yes — many of our users start small and grow over time. We suggest beginning with just 5% of your account per trade. This keeps risk low while you build trust in the system.
Once you’re comfortable and confident, you can choose to gradually increase your position size up to 10%. It’s a flexible strategy — you stay in control.
Why does the S&P500 always go higher?
The S&P 500 tends to rise over time for a few simple reasons:
The economy grows – As companies earn more money, stock prices often go up.
The world invests in the U.S. – Global investors see U.S. markets as stable and put their money here.
Investor optimism – Stocks often rise because people expect companies to perform well.
Companies reinvest profits – Many firms buy back their own shares and reinvest, which helps boost prices.
Weeding out the weak – The S&P 500 replaces bad companies with stronger ones, so the index stays full of top performers.
What is SPX?
SPX is short for the S&P 500 Index, which tracks the performance of 500 of the largest companies in the U.S., like Apple, Microsoft, and Google. When we trade SPX, we’re not buying stocks — we’re trading options based on the value of the index itself.
Unlike stocks, SPX options are cash-settled, so you never own shares. Instead, you get paid (or take a loss) in cash when the trade ends. It’s a popular way for experienced traders to manage risk and target consistent returns — and it’s what we use in the Monthly Trend bull put spread strategy.
What is a bull put spread?
A bull put spread is a low-risk options strategy we use to generate steady income when we believe the market will stay flat or go slightly higher.
Here’s how it works in simple terms:
You sell one option and buy another at a lower price — both on the same stock index (like SPX) and with the same expiration date. This creates a “spread” that limits your risk and defines your potential reward upfront.
If the market stays above a certain level by the end of the month, the trade makes a profit. If it drops too far, your losses are capped. You always know the worst-case outcome before entering the trade.
It’s a favorite among professionals because it combines controlled risk with predictable returns — and that’s exactly how we use it in Monthly Trend.
Does your table show real trades?
Yes, all trades shown in our performance tables are real executed trades—not hypothetical simulations.
While brokerage commissions aren’t explicitly included, they are typically minimal. This is because our monthly bull put spread strategy involves only one trade per month.
How many trades do you have open at the same time?
Just one. We keep it simple and focused. One trade per month means less stress and less risk. It also lets you keep funds available for other strategies or emergencies.
Can I trade Monthly Trend with my cash account?
Yes! You don’t need margin. The strategy is fully covered by the cash in your account, so it’s perfect for traders who want to avoid borrowing or using leverage.
Is there a risk that I will be assigned?
No. We use SPX options, which settle in cash — not stock. That means you won’t have shares assigned to you. You’ll simply see a gain or loss in your account at expiration.
Can I trade Monthly Trend in my IRA account?
Yes, as long as your broker allows credit spreads in IRAs. Most do — including Interactive Brokers and Tradier. Just double-check that your account is approved for this type of trade.
