Frequently asked questions.
Answers about automation, performance verification, subscriptions, and account setup.
What do I need to automate your options trading systems?
Setting up automation for our options trading systems is simple and only takes a few steps.
First, you will need to open a brokerage account with one of our supported partners. Beginners may find AutoShares' brokerage easy to set up because it includes automation.
Alternatively, you can use a supported account with Interactive Brokers and link it to Global AutoTrading, or use another supported broker relationship where available.
How is performance calculated?
For every measurable percentage-based return, we use a generally accepted Return on Risk calculation.
For example, if a defined-risk trade has $1,000 of maximum risk and produces $120 of net profit, the RoR is 12%.
The revenue-based returns for PRS and Max Income are different. Those figures represent option income receipts from specific positions on that transaction date.
We do not include performance metrics for the holdings' overall account value.
Is this investment advice?
No. CycleSpreads publishes research and trade alerts. Options involve risk, and subscribers are responsible for deciding whether any trade fits their own account, experience, and risk tolerance.
What happens after I subscribe?
CycleSpreads confirms your subscription, provides access details, and helps you select the program or setup path that applies to your account.
How am I able to cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your trial or subscription at any time by emailing us at info@cyclespreads.com.
Once we receive your request, we will process the cancellation promptly, so you can avoid any future charges.
Please keep the following in mind:
- All payments are final. We do not offer refunds for charges that have already been processed.
- If you email us outside regular business hours, we will handle your request on the next business day.
- If your renewal date falls on a weekend or holiday, please send your cancellation request by 5 PM EST on the last business day before.
- It is your responsibility to track your billing cycle and request cancellation in time to avoid unwanted charges.
Can I use my IRA to trade with your service?
Yes, most individual retirement accounts can be used for options trading. However, you need to request the right account settings from your broker first. Specifically, this includes Traditional, Rollover, Roth, SIMPLE, and SEP IRAs.
