Selling Commodity Options

Trading Options to Turn Time into Money

Time is money concept

How to Use Options to Turn Time into Money

In my newsletter, the TIME FARMING TRAINING BULLETIN, we teach people to turn time into money by trading options.  About 80% of options expire worthless anyway, and by timing option sales with seasonal price patterns, we can often shape trades with a 95% chance or higher of expiring worthless.  I put some examples of this into a short free booklet called Patterns for Profit – An Introduction to Seasonal Trading, a free 32 page full color booklet you can download at this LINK

Time into Money Using your Computer

For creating regular income each month, we show traders how to learn to sell commodity options in a very unique way.  We use only one strategy, formerly used by mostly wealthy investors and money-managers.   I post the trades in my personal account, and readers “look over my shoulder” as I explain how it’s done, how to use fundamental commodity analysis and option parameters to select trades.  These trades are selected for small/medium traders using deep-discount brokers in on-line personal accounts.  By using discount brokerage accounts, commissions for an option trade are kept below $5.00 a trade, which means it becomes very affordable to sell options very far Out-of-the-Money.  The result of this – is that I sell options so far OTM they are rarely worth anything at their expiration dates, usually 30 to 120 days out. We also roll some positions to even farther OTM strikes for more income.  And I can show you how to use the same strategy in multiple months for additional income.

Actual Results Trading Options

Over the last six months, from April 2, 2018 until mid-September 2018, 30 of the last 33 trades have made a profit.  None of this was using any back-testing, every trade was a real trade- not sample results.  I posted every single one of them in real time (same day) in the newsletter.  That is a 91% success rate.  Most of the trades are done in 30 to 60 days, and I average about 6 to 8 trades per month.  No one, including me, can guarantee you of no-risk and that you will get-rich-quick, but here’s what I can do.  You can download my exact trades for the most recent 3 months – you get copies of every single newsletter during that time.  Plus, you get the next two months of my newsletter absolutely free in real time (same day).  There is no debit or credit card required at all.  You just sign up free with your name and email.

We cannot guarantee results, and this type of trading is not appropriate for many traders. It uses advanced techniques for sophisticated trading.  This trading is risky and we teach traders how to manage this risk to shape trades likely to be successful but of course, cannot guarantee your results.

Paper Trade With Me for Two Months FREE

Paper-trading is your flight simulator

You can download a file to track your progress and I’ll give you this file free, along with 3 months of newsletters (the most recent three months, not selected months.)  And you will get TIME FARMING TRAINING BULLETINS free and live in real time for the next two months.  I list the margin requirements for all trades, the strikes,  and in my TRADE COMMENTARY – I will tell you exactly why and how I selected the trade to use.  The newsletter teaches you to learn to trade this way.  You will read my personal research, and move towards learning how it’s done.

Over the last six months 30 of my 33 trades have turned a profit.  This means there were three trades that had losses; this key to succeeding in this type of trading is keeping the losses small – and I will show you how to do that right now.  I have posted an article on this blog that tells you exactly how I do this.  I hold nothing back, the article is posted here: STOP LOSSES

The average margin deposit for each option sold was only $540.20.  A trader selling just one option in each of those 33 trades had profits of $2510 and losses of only $500, a net of $2010.   And that is selling only ONE (1) option per trade.  What you can afford to try will depend on your account size and risk tolerance.

Let me caution you.  Do NOT place any trades until you are comfortable; this type of trading is risky and not for everyone.  If math makes your head hurt and you hate computers, this is not for you.  If you like the idea of building a second income using powerful free software and using your mobile device or home computer – then, give it a go and see if it’s for you.  Sign up for a free paper-trade account that simulates commodity option trading.  This is the best way to learn to use the software trading platform and to practice this strategy to test it for yourself.
