Options trading strategies that win!
Each episode in The Winning Trade series provides option trading examples of income or high probability options trading strategies which are designed to put traders in a position to generate profits through the passage of time rather than depending solely on price movement to go in the right direction. Meaning that we can make money whether the stock price goes, up, down, or sideways. Or whether the stock market itself is neutral, bullish, or bearish. This doesn’t mean we are going to win all the time but it does mean that by using these options trading strategies a trader will have a much higher probability to win than they would otherwise.
