A Trade That Is Resilient To The Downside

November 15, 2019 by John Locke Leave a Comment

The Winning Trade X4V22 Episode 16

This resilient trade to the downside, the X4V22 trading strategy, more than doubled it’s return from Episode 12! This trade earned about $7,951 profit or about 23% of planned capital.*

Description of this trade: The X4V22 is a market-neutral income strategy designed to be used on the Standard and Poor 500 (SPX) index. It is one of three primary trading structures within the X4 Training System it is designed to maximize results in neutral to bearish market conditions. The X4V22 is a bit more active and complex than the other X4 strategies however it is the highest returning rule-based strategy within the X4 Training System.

Minimum Capital Required: $3,500 per trade

Example size: $35,000 planned capital

Profit Target: None. In general, I’d expect a good month to return well over 10% of planned capital

X4V22 Options Trading Strategy Winning Trade Episode 22

Exit Loss Trigger: 7.1% or $2,500 for this example

Entered Trade: 77 days to expiration; Usually entered as a butterfly with a call option

Trade Duration: Up to 60 days. Will exit when the expiration month, two cycles out, is 77 days to expiration, unless one of our risk management rules happens which indicates to end the trade earlier than that.

Trade Adjustments: Yes, roll up and roll back

 Overlapping Trades: Yes

Why do we love this trading strategy? This trade is resilient to downside market movements.
