CycleSpreads
Program 1,2,3, 4, 5 and 6
Performance

How Performance is Calculated
The performance figures are calculated by dividing the profit from the trade by the amount of capital needed to place the trade.
Example:
Profit from trade: $227
The amount of capital needed if the position gets exercised: $4500
$227/$4500 = 5.04%

Before subscribing to the service, I suggest ordering the trading guide to familiarize yourself with the strategy.

CycleSpreads Program 1:
Start Date: Dec 2021.
Open to new members.
Trades: This strategy involves selling Naked Calls with a secondary stop market order placed to purchase the stock, should the stock get within $0.05 of the strike price.
Strike Prices: We’ll sell calls with strike prices of $12 and under.
Open Positions: Approximately 20
Trade Duration: Short Term (a few hours to approximately 2 weeks) Many of the trades are placed on expiration day, with a hold time of a few hours.
Premium: Medium
Account Size: Minimum of $10,000 account size recommended
Dollar allocation Per Trade: Minimum of $1,000 recommended
Auto-Trading is available for this strategy
Purpose of Strategy:

  1. It provides a bit of a hedge on our put positions.
  2. It allows us to enter safer trades when the markets are trending down.
  3. It’s a good way to use up excess buying power on a short-term basis. If you have extra buying power not being used, these are great short-term trades to earn extra premium. Many of the trades, I place on expiration day and several others one to two days prior to expiration. Other’s I may go out a week or so.
  4. This helps us earn premium back quicker on Put trades that are temporarily moving against us. If we have a trade that we are continually rolling, because the price is either decreasing or staying flat, these are perfect trades to sell calls on. On this trade we win either way, if the underlying stock price stays down, we earn our premium on the covered call. If the price of the stock goes up, it strengthens our Put position.
  5. This is a good way to diversify our trades between long positions and short positions.
  6. When a stock, that we routinely trade, increases too much in price, making put selling too risky, I find this to be great time to sell calls.
  7. Helps you stomach a market correction much better knowing you have several positions that will be moving in your favor.
  8. I consider this to be a trend following strategy. It typically doesn’t start out that way, but it’s possible that it may end that way. With this strategy, our goal is not to buy the stock, so we would like to see smaller upward movements in the price of the stock, reducing the chances of our stop market order from getting triggered. However, if the stock price is rising quicker than anticipated, and our stop market order gets filled, resulting in the purchase of the stock, this upward movement of the stock is now trending in the direction that we would want it to move so that our covered calls would get assigned and the recently purchased stock would be sold. We’ll even gain a bit of profit on the sale of the stock.

CycleSpreads Program 2:
Start Date: Dec 2021.
Open to new members.
Trades: This strategy involves selling Naked Calls with a secondary stop market order placed to purchase the stock, should the stock get within $0.05 of the strike price.
Strike Prices: We’ll sell calls with strike prices ranging between $12 and $24.
Open Positions: Approximately 20
Trade Duration: Short Term (a few hours to approximately 2 weeks)
Premium: Medium
Account Size: Minimum of $10,000 account size recommended
Dollar allocation Per Trade: Minimum of $1,000 recommended
Many of the trades are placed on expiration day, with a hold time of a few hours.
Auto-Trading is available for this strategy
Purpose of Strategy: Same as CycleSpreads Program 1

CycleSpreads Program 3: Start date March 2020. Open to new members. This strategy involves selling puts, occasionally purchasing stock and selling covered calls. We hold multiple open positions. The strike prices on this strategy will range from $0.50 to $12. This strategy works best for account sizes of $10,000 or greater. Auto-Trading is available on this strategy.
2020 Total Return: 1575.76% | Winning Trades: 281 | Losing Trades: 0

CycleSpreads Program 4: Start of service January 26, 2021. Open to new members. This strategy involves the same trading logic as CycleSpreads Program 3, except that we only hold a maximum of 5 open positions and the duration of the trades range between 1 and 3 weeks or less. This strategy works great for any account size and is a great fit for someone just getting started, who is trading an account size of $10,000 or less. Auto-Trading is available for this strategy.

CycleSpreads Program 5:
Open to New Members
Open Positions: Approximately 30
Trade Duration: Short Term (minimum of 1 day, maximum of 2 weeks on Put orders and no limit on the covered call orders (as long as the price of the stock is moving up).
Premium: Medium (trades are much shorter term so getting a lower premium is justified)
Trades: Same trading logic as CycleSpreads Program 3 except that we are selling Puts close to the market price in order to get exercised and then selling covered calls over the stock. Although we are trading close to the money puts, a good amount of our positions do not get assigned and we earn additional premium on every position that doesn’t get assigned.
Account Size: Minimum of $10,000 Recommended
Dollar Allocation Per Trade: Min of $750 recommended ($1000 is preferred)
Purpose of Strategy: Focus is on selling close to the money puts in order to get exercised and then being able to sell covered calls. On CycleSpreads Programs 3 and 4, we typically don’t have may positions exercised and we’re losing out on the opportunity to sell covered calls. CycleSpreads Program 5 bridges this gap allowing us to sell covered calls, earning a higher premium and provides the opportunity to roll our trades forward while simultaneously increasing our strike price maximizing our gains on the sale of the stocks that we own.
Auto-Trading is available for this strategy.

CycleSpreads Program 6:
Open to New Members
Open Positions: Approximately 20
Trade Duration: Short to Medium Term
Premium: Medium to Higher Premiums
Trades: Same trading logic as Program 3, except we are selling puts with strike prices that range from $12 to $24.
Account Size: $25,000 account size is recommended
Dollar Allocation Per Trade: Minimum of $2500 recommended
Purpose of Strategy: To offer trades on higher priced stocks that we currently don’t offer through Programs 3, 4 or 5. By trading these higher priced stocks, we’ll be able to target trades that pay higher premiums.
Auto-Trading is available for this strategy.
