Listen in as Option Hotline Chief Options Strategist, Keith Harwood, discusses options trading at this free webinar. Interest rates are rising as inflation concerns hit the markets. With 30-year rates at 3-year highs and the Fed looking for ways to fight rising consumer prices, equities are showing increasing weakness and signs of worry.
Could we be ready for a major market correction? Or is this simply another dip and buying opportunity? With fear comes opportunity, but defining risk is critical in times of uncertainty.
Please join us as Keith outlines how he approaches these insecure times and uses options to leverage uncertainty to increase his potential profits in times when others are panicking.
Tomorrow, you could begin doubling your account every single month starting with one letter.
The letter will come from a 20-year trading professional named Ian Cooper. He says, “In 2022, following my trades you would be doubling even tripling your account some months. Let me show you how.”
He will show you exactly what to do... and he’ll give you the blueprint for just $1.
Three of the Best Ways to Trade Wild Volatility
by Ian Cooper
Markets have been extremely volatile.
Last Friday, the Dow fell about 1,000 points. On Monday, markets rebounded nicely, with many traders believing the bottom was in. By Tuesday, the Dow was down another 411 points.
That’s insanity.
Here's my concern. If the markets fail to find and hold support at current levels, it could test March double bottom support. Then, if that fails to hold, we could dive further. All thanks to fears about big tech earnings, inflation, recession, and uncertainty with Russia.
So, how can we trade the current volatility out there?
We can trade ETFs and ETNs, which track the Volatility Index.

Covered Calls - Extending Your Rate of Return
by Dan Keen
You can put the icing on the cake by using a few tricks to increase your rate of return on a covered call play.
Buy More than 100 Shares – And Write More than One Contract
It is typical for online brokerage firms to charge one low rate for the purchase of up to several thousand shares of a stock. It is also common practice for them to allow several option contracts to be transacted for the same fee. For example, you can trade up to eight option contracts and still only pay $14.95, then a mere $1.75 is tacked on for each additional contract.
Since you only pay commission to buy stock once (usually up to several thousand shares), and commission to write the covered call once (usually several contracts), the rate of return for a play can be increased by purchasing 200 shares (or more) instead of 100 and writing two or more calls.
With the exception of Breaking News, the Catalyst for something big might come from one of the many Companies releasing their Earnings this upcoming week. There are quite a few which have the ability to not only move other stocks in the same industry/sector, but also some which might move the Market as a whole.

4) You should trade or invest only “risk capital” – money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.
5) All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.
6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.
7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.
8) The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors. Certain Subscribers may modify the author methods, or modify or ignore the rules or risk parameters, and any such actions are taken entirely at the Subscriber’s own election and for the Subscriber’s own risk.
