Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will you be only trading options?
A. At this time yes, only options.

Q. How many trades can I expect to see in any given month?
A. Depending on what portfolio you are following you could expect anywhere from 4 to 6 trades a month in the account.

Q. Do you provide auto-trading for your trade ideas?
A. No, at the current time, auto-trading is not a service we provide, although we will be constantly heading in that direction. Should this be something you are interested in now, feel free to contact us to find out more on where we are in the process, or contact your broker and ask them.

Q. Do you send out email alerts when new trades are placed?
A. When you sign up for our service, you are automatically placed our weekly email list, but we do not put you on our new trade email list. If you would like to receive them, we will gladly add you to that list as well. We know everyone hates extra emails, so we have decided to only send out one regular weekly email to our subscribers. However, we do offer new trade emails, the service is free, you just have to contact us and ask. Since we initiate all our trades after the market close, new trade emails are sent out the night before the trade is placed.

Q. What is the typical holding period on your positions?
A. Utilizing hedged spread trades we are able to keep our holding periods between 45 to 60 days.

Q. How often is your market block commentary updated?
A. Depending on what is happening in the market, the page is updated 3 or 4 times throughout day.

Q. What information is in the weekly email?
A. Each weekend we send out updates on the markets, and provide a quick recap of the previous week's action. In addition we will point out a handful of economic events that you should be watching out for in the week to come. Finally, weekly recaps on any trading activity, and updates to any currently held positions will be discussed.

Q. Do you actively look for contributors?
A. Not actively, no. This site is 100% free, meaning it acually costs us to keep it going each month out of our pocket. Since there is no money coming in, we can not offer any compensation to contributors other than being able to place a link back to your site. If you are interested in just getting your stuff read, you can contact us and we can set up a page for you.

Q. Are all of your services really free? Where are the hidden charges?
A. Yes, everything is completely free. We have set up our portfolio area to be for members only, but there is no charge for that either. The reason we built this page was out of frustration with other options pages that charge you before they even let you past their home page. It's hard to figure out what the site is offering before having to decide to fork over your credit card. That is not the case here. We are here to provide you a different approach. We have one goal... making you money. Taking 50 dollars a month to let you read our pages would not be accomplishing that goal.
