A Trade For A Volatile Up Trending Market

February 7, 2020 by John Locke Leave a Comment

The Winning Trade X4V17 Volatile Up Trending Market

There is much to be learned from a trade like the X4V17 that can come out on top in volatile up trending market conditions and win! Even with an unusually detrimental implied volatility skew the X4V17 trade was able to pull off a decent return when traded according to its guidelines.

This options trade during the January 2020 expiration period shows an approximate profit of $1,540 or about 4.5% of our planned capital*. Take look at this great example of a winning trade!

The X4V17 trading strategy is one of three trading strategies that are taught in the very comprehensive X4 training system which is designed to be traded on the Standard and Poor 500 index (SPX). It is the most bullish structure In the X4 Program and is designed to maximize results in neutral to bullish market conditions on the SPX index.

The minimum capital required for this trading strategy is $3,500. Its trade structure is a somewhat bullish bias, market neutral 60/40 broken wing butterfly strategy. To clarify, it is a 60 point wing bullish vertical spread on the backside and we have a 40 point wing bearish vertical spread on the upside.

The X4V17 trading strategy’s historic average win is between 5 – 10% of planned capital in about 60 days and is designed to have overlapping trades.

This simple, effective trade does very well in V reversals. Also in volatile up trending market conditions as shown in this video.

We offer many examples of the three X4 trading strategies in The Winning Trade series. Click here to see more and register to receive bonus information!

*The result shown is from real-time, hypothetical trades such as those shown in the Options Trading for Income weekly webinar. Simulated trades are believed to be represented as accurately as possible, however, live results may have been different.  The result is shared as an example for educational purposes ONLY.
