Strategy live performance:

2021 snapshot: Across 26 trades, the strategy generated $7,700 cumulative profit (assuming ~$4,500 capital per trade). There were 20 winners, with an average gain of ~$400 and an average loss of ~$350. 📈

Main characteristics of the “Ride Trade”:

This income strategy seeks a Delta-neutral stance, aiming to dampen underlying price swings while harvesting time decay (Theta) and responding to implied volatility (Vega) shifts. Adjustments are available with clear, rule-based flexibility. 🧭

Strike selection is Delta-driven and adapts to prevailing market conditions at entry. The options chains used to build each Calendar Spread are chosen to reduce unnecessary volatility and limit adjustment frequency. While ultra-short expirations offer higher Theta, they tend to be more volatile than longer tenors.

The configuration is built for positive Theta and positive Vega. In practice, that means we don’t rely on directional moves (Delta) to make progress—time is working for us as the position accrues value.

Each trade employs multiple Calendar Spreads to create a broad profit zone within which SPY or QQQ can oscillate while still delivering returns. If the market extends beyond expectations, predefined adjustments help manage directional risk and preserve income potential.

I actively trade this method and share executions inside the Trading Community, including a live trading room (Discord) where you can interact with me and post your own setups. 🤝

Suggested minimum account size: USD 5,000.
