SteadyOptions Managed Accounts


One of the most common questions Steady Options receives relates to managed accounts. Lorintine Capital is offering managed accounts for both Anchor Trades and Steady Momentum. This post will detail the current Steady Options managed account offerings and how they work.

What is a managed account?

A managed account simply trades a set strategy on behalf of members who either do not want to trade themselves, do not have the time to trade themselves, do not understand the strategy, or who might have had issues implementing the strategy.  The managed accounts for Steady Options are offered through Lorintine Capital.  Lorintine Capital is a separate company from Steady Options.  It is a Registered Investment Advisory firm (CRD# 151204) with offices in Dallas, Texas and Gilbert, Arizona.  Lorintine Capital currently uses TD Ameritrade Institutional as its primary broker.  


Separate paperwork must be filled out to open a managed account.  All managed accounts must have investment advisory agreements with Lorintine Capital and completed brokerage account documents with TD Ameritrade Institutional (all of which can be filled out electronically and DocuSigned). 


Steady Option members in certain countries (such as Canada), may not be able to open an account.  If you live outside of the United States and wish to know if you can open an account, please email Lorintine Capital (info@lorintinecapital.com).


The brokerage account is established in the client’s name and gives the client full access to it.  This means individuals can check the balance, view all of the trades as they occur, deposit/withdraw money, and generally maintain control over the account.  If account holders decide to close the account or transfer money out of the account, we hope they communicate with us to make the process easy, but clients can always call TD Ameritrade Institutional directly and transfer the funds or close the account.Investors receive monthly statements from both TD Ameritrade Institutional and Lorintine Capital.

 

What Steady Options strategies are available for managed accounts?

There are two strategies currently available for managed accounts – the Anchor Trade Strategy and the Steady Momentum Strategy.  The core Steady Options strategy and the Creating Alpha Strategy are not available through a managed account. Members will have to continue to trade those themselves. 


The Anchor Strategy can be opened in leveraged or unleveraged form depending on each individual investors objectives and risk tolerance. The account minimum for the Anchor Strategy is $50,000, and Steady Momentum has an account minimum of $100,000.

 

How are managed accounts run (e.g. how are trades made)?

All investor accounts in each strategy are treated equally through block trading.  After the order has been filled, the position is then distributed to individual accounts based on the average fill price of executed block orders.

 

How do I open a managed account and how much do they cost?

Please email info@lorintinecapital.com to initiate the process.  There is a basic level of due diligence to ensure the investment is appropriate for your risk tolerances and current financial situation.  The typical account opening process, depending on the investors funding source and if the investor promptly returns the paperwork, takes 5-10 business days.


Fees vary by account size and by what Steady Options subscription an investor currently has.  Accounts in excess of $200,000 are charged an annualized management fee of 0.75% by Lorintine Capital and your Steady Options product specific fee is waived.  For example, if you currently subscribe to the Anchor Trades strategy for $995/year, for as long as your account remains above $200,000, that fee will be waived.  Note: this does not apply to the Steady Options bundle although the bundle fee will be discounted. 


Accounts under $200,000 are charged a Lorintine Capital management fee of 1% and Steady Options subscriptions are reduced by fifty percent (50%).


Steady Options will bill for Steady Options’ services.  Lorintine Capital’s fees will be deducted monthly directly from the TD Ameritrade Institutional account. 


For any other questions relating to managed accounts, please just reach out to anyone at Lorintine Capital or Steady 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.

  • What Is Delta Hedging?

    Delta hedging is an investing strategy that combines the purchase or sale of an option as well as an offsetting transaction in the underlying asset to reduce the risk of a directional move in the price of the option. When a position is delta-neutral, it will not rise or fall in value when the value of the underlying asset stays within certain bounds.
