SteadyOptions is an options trading forum where you can find solutions from top options traders. Join Us!

We’ve all been there… researching options strategies and unable to find the answers we’re looking for. SteadyOptions has your solution.

Self Managed, Auto-Trading or Managed?


We get a lot of questions regarding different options of using our services. We currently offer three alternatives:

  1. Self-managed accounts (SteadyOptions, Anchor Trades and Steady Condors).
  2. Auto-trading (coming soon, Anchor Trades and Steady Condors).
  3. Managed accounts (Anchor Trades and Steady Condors).

We would like to describe each one of the alternatives, using Steady Condors as an example.

 

Self-managed accounts

 

This is the simplest and the most flexible option. You need to open a brokerage account (or use your existing account) and sign up for our subscription service. You will need to "follow" the forum and the topics in order to get the email notifications once we execute a trade. Once you do that, you will get an email notification and can execute the trade in your account.

 

The service subscription fee is $99/month, $265/quarter or $955/year, which translates to ~1%/year for 100k accounts. All alerts are sent during the market hours. If you are able to place the trades during the market hours, this option might be for you. You have a full control over your account and can select your broker.

 

Auto-trading

 

Autotrading is a service that executes an investment newsletter's trade alerts in an investor's brokerage account. As an investment newsletter publishes email alerts, the autotrading service receives those trade alerts directly and enters trades in each investor's account. Each investor has their own private brokerage account; they just give the autotrader the permission to enter trades in that account. Only the investor can deposit or withdraw money from the account. The investor specifies how much money to allocate to each trade.

 

Our preferred brokers are IB (Interactive Brokers) and TOS (Thinkorswim). TOS are not accepting new services, but we still hope to get approved. IB can be autotraded only via GAT (Global Autotrading). GAT charges a flat per-service, per-account monthly fee of $70 for auto-trading. While we are not happy about this, we need to consider the total cost. IB charge ~$0.75 per contract. Compare this to TOS where average client pays around $1.50 per contract - and you will be able to offset the $70 fee with just 100 contracts per month. eOption charges $2 per trade per leg EXTRA for auto-trading if done directly with them (not through GAT). With GAT, you also may be able to benefit from the tiered volume discounts that the broker offers for option trades (the broker combines the volume for all Global AutoTrading clients when applying the discount, thus even small accounts can benefit).

 

All in all, GAT/IB offer the best combination of commissions and execution. The overall cost is expected to be lower than most other brokers. We hope to start auto-trading within the next few weeks. If you cannot place trades during market hours, or simply prefer that we do it for you, this option is for you.

 

Managed accounts

 

A managed account is a specialized investment advisory account that simply uses one particular strategy. It is an account you own, maintained through a custodian (such as TDAmeritrade, Interactive Brokers, Edward Jones, Dain Rauscher, etc.), for which you will receive a monthly statement. You can read more about our Managed accounts here.

 

The managed account will be managed by Lorintine Capital, LP. Lorintine Capital charges two percent (2%) for a managed account. The minimum recommended managed account size for the Anchor Trades strategy is fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) and for the Steady Condors strategy, one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00). If you place $100k or more into a managed account, you will be entitled to 50% discount of the monthly subscription. If you place $200k or more into a managed account, you will be entitled to a free access to the service.

  • Harnessing Monte Carlo Simulations for Options Trading: A Strategic Approach

    In the world of options trading, one of the greatest challenges is determining future price ranges with enough accuracy to structure profitable trades. One method traders can leverage to enhance these predictions is Monte Carlo simulations, a powerful statistical tool that allows for the projection of a stock or ETF's future price distribution based on historical data.

  • Is There Such A Thing As Risk-Management Within Crypto Trading?

    Any trader looking to build reliable long-term wealth is best off avoiding cryptocurrency. At least, this is a message that the experts have been touting since crypto entered the trading sphere and, in many ways, they aren’t wrong. The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies alone places them very much in the red danger zone of high-risk investments.

  • Is There A ‘Free Lunch’ In Options?

     

    In olden times, alchemists would search for the philosopher’s stone, the material that would turn other materials into gold. Option traders likewise sometimes overtly, sometimes secretly hope to find something which is even sweeter than being able to play video games for money with Moincoins, that most elusive of all option positions: the risk free trade with guaranteed positive outcome.

  • What Are Covered Calls And How Do They Work?

    A covered call is an options trading strategy where an investor holds a long position in an asset (most usually an equity) and sells call options on that same asset. This strategy can generate additional income from the premium received for selling the call options.

  • SPX Options vs. SPY Options: Which Should I Trade?

    Trading options on the S&P 500 is a popular way to make money on the index. There are several ways traders use this index, but two of the most popular are to trade options on SPX or SPY. One key difference between the two is that SPX options are based on the index, while SPY options are based on an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the index.

  • Yes, We Are Playing Not to Lose!

    There are many trading quotes from different traders/investors, but this one is one of my favorites: “In trading/investing it's not about how much you make, but how much you don't lose" - Bernard Baruch. At SteadyOptions, this has been one of our major goals in the last 12 years.

  • The Impact of Implied Volatility (IV) on Popular Options Trades

    You’ll often read that a given option trade is either vega positive (meaning that IV rising will help it and IV falling will hurt it) or vega negative (meaning IV falling will help and IV rising will hurt).   However, in fact many popular options spreads can be either vega positive or vega negative depending where where the stock price is relative to the spread strikes.

  • Please Follow Me Inside The Insiders

    The greatest joy in investing in options is when you are right on direction. It’s really hard to beat any return that is based on a correct options bet on the direction of a stock, which is why we spend much of our time poring over charts, historical analysis, Elliot waves, RSI and what not.

  • Trading Earnings With Ratio Spread

    A 1x2 ratio spread with call options is created by selling one lower-strike call and buying two higher-strike calls. This strategy can be established for either a net credit or for a net debit, depending on the time to expiration, the percentage distance between the strike prices and the level of volatility.
