BetterTrades Options Strategies

Once a trader has decided to enter the options market, they must determine which strategy will work best.

BetterTrades students are taught strategies that are effective whether the stock market is moving up, moving down, or trending sideways. A BetterTrades education ensures that students will be up to the challenge of whatever the market sends their way.

In order to ensure success, a student should make sure the strategy they choose fits with the current market. In other words, if the market is going up, a trader doesn't want to use a bear call spread. Such an action would be counterproductive.

Fortunately, there are strategies that fit every market and every style of learner.

Just remember, while options can be very profitable, they carry risk. You have the potential to lose all of your investment. So trade smart.

Bullish strategies include the bull put spread, call back spread, covered calls, long call options, selling naked puts and protective puts. Bearish strategies include a bear call spread, bear put spread and naked calls. Neutral strategies include the butterfly, calendar spread, collar, condor, long straddles, long strangles, ratio spreads, short straddles and short strangles. There’s something for everyone.
