Market Whipsaw Didn’t Whip This Trade

May 29, 2020 by John Locke Leave a Comment

Market Whipsaw Didn't Affect This Trade; The Winning Trade X4V22; Episode 30

A huge market whipsaw didn’t whip this trade like you think it would a market neutral options trading strategy. At one point in the trade we were actually up 100% of invested capital! Click here or in the video to take a look at the crazy ride this X4V22 trade took that resulted in about a 21% return in 47 days*!

The X4V22 is one of three primary trading structures within the X4 Training System it is designed to maximize results in neutral to bearish market conditions. This options trading strategy is a bit more active and complex than the other X4 options trading strategies however it is the highest returning rule-based strategy within the X4 Training System.

Returns of this trade: This trade earned about a 21% return on planned capital in 47 days.*

Description of this trade: The X4V22 is a market neutral income strategy designed to be used on the Standard and Poor 500 (SPX) index.

Minimum Capital Required: $3,500 per trade

Market Whipsaw Didn't Affect This Trade; The Winning Trade X4V22; Episode 30

Example size: $35,000 planned capital trade

Profit Target: None. In general, I’d expect an average good month to be about 10% of planned capital

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

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

Trade Duration: 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

Overlapping Trades: Yes

I love this trading strategy because: Our maximum capital in the trade was around $9,000, so at one point we were actually up 100% of that capital. At the close of the trade we received about a 90% return on that invested capital. It is unusual to get this size return on invested capital in a market neutral strategy, where we were completely non-directional in a market with record volatility and record point moves. That is incredible!


Learn this trade plus two others!

This rule-based strategy has a minimum capital requirement is $3,500 and takes less than 15 minutes a day to manage. Click here to learn more!

It is incredible how the huge market whipsaw didn’t whip this trade and those that follow the X4V22 trade during the Options Trading for Income by the Guidelines webinar got to see it all. Consider joining us each week!
