Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL


Q: Do I have what it takes to trade your strategies?

Absolutely! We have a step by step process that is called the Trading Success Blueprint. This process can help a person with no trading knowledge to quickly trade a very simple rule-based strategy that virtually anyone can do. Depending on each person’s objectives, they can build off that solid foundation and go as far as they’d like. Even to a very advanced, professional-level complex options trader.


Q: What can I expect for returns?

This is going depend on many, many factors and vary drastically from trader to trader. Are you going to stick with a straight rule-based conservative strategy?  Or are you going to get subjective, put in the work, and go for it?

If you want to talk very general historical numbers just get an idea of what a singular type of options income trading might do, keeping in mind that some of this information is simulated, and that the future may be different than history…

Many of the profitable, conservative, rule-based income strategies currently available historically average between 20% and 30% per year over time. That’s an average with some years over 60% and some negative. And….this will hold true for just about any good rule-based, very high probability, non subjective strategy over time, regardless of where you find it, and regardless of what might be advertised. Which to some people may seem low but if you think about it, those numbers beat nearly any hedge fund or mutual fund out there. So it’s very impressive.

If you get into the more aggressive and minimally subjective strategies, like the Bearish Butterfly or the ROCK, effective traders can easily double those numbers. The ROCK historically has averaged near 100% per year as shown on our weekly Options Trading for Income webinars, but realize that it takes time, and a lot of experience to get to that level and, of course, the future can be quite different than the past.

If you decide to go fully subjective, then….. eventually, if you stick with it, it is possible to do become more and more consistent in returns and do much, much better than that. I’d say there are no limits, but again it takes time and a lot of experience to get there.


Q: Do I have to be in front of a screen all day to trade these strategies?

No, our trading strategies, for the most part, should be evaluated only once per day. The evaluation takes only minutes however if entries, exits or adjustments are required, then that would take additional time.


Q: Where do I ask questions?

We LOVE to get questions that shows you are putting in the effort and learning! One place any member can ask is in the Locke Options Community Group Forums (scroll down to get instructions). If you are a subscribing member, looking for detailed, lengthy answers, please post questions or topics for discussion in the GO Ask A Trader or the Trading With The Pros Sessions forum. For trading strategy by the guidelines questions, please post those in the Options Trading for Income by the Guidelines sessions forum. For urgent or brief topics, subscribing members can post to the GO and PRO Skype group, if they are a member.
