Recent GLD, IWM and AMZN trades traded 1 spread per $25k model portfolio (average size was around $2-2.5k per spread, close to 10% of the model portfolio). So with $1M account, you would do 40 spreads. I would say very doable for those stocks. Of course some stocks are lower prices and slightly less liquid, so for the model portfolio they traded 3-5 spreads, so you would need 120-200 spreads. Still doable, but you might experience a bit more slippage. Still, if you trade a $10 spread, even paying few cents more is not a big deal percentage wise. So the bottom line is: very easy and scalable for $100-300k accounts, a bit more difficult but still doable for $500k-$1M accounts.

SteadyYields 2025 Summary: SteadyYields is our best performing service in 2025, producing 74.6% return. As always, we aim to under promise and over deliver. The strategies use highly liquid instruments like TLT, GLD, QQQ, XLE etc. They are fully scalable, low maintenance and easy to follow. Considering that we usually risk only 50-60% of the model portfolio at any given time, and the return includes one large loss, I consider the performance beyond remarkable. Many thanks to by our contributor @Romuald for designing the algo and our contributor @Yowster for managing the strategy. The service is only $150/month or $1,200/year and based on the performance, the price is expected to increase in 2026. This should be a $500/month service. If you started 2025 with $100,000, your portfolio would be up $74,600 by now. Not a bad return on $1,200 investment.
