someone emailed me a strategy. I thought better to reply here:
that may work, but its nowhere near either of my strategies. I have 2 risk free strategies. one has nothing to do with stocks or options at all. that will make your head spin im sure. the option strategy is included in my course, but it was incomplete because I never give away my best strategy until I top it with another. I did that, so I gave away some clues so that only my students could put 2 and 2 together. but i guess there arent any on the forum, or they dont get it, or they did and dont want to tell everyone.
A good understanding of ACH rules will help. The strategy has a few defence mechanisms. ie, at first glance it looks like a loser but it does work. but many option traders dont know all the calculations involved, and simply discard the idea at the first hurdle.
it took me 2 years to get there, and even with clues I wont be surprised if nobody else does. I do know however that one of my students entered this trade a few months ago, and thats without all the clues. I know this because I saw the trade go through, not because they told me. Its possible that someone developed the same strategy by coincedence, but since I have not seen this trade carried out in the 6 months since I thought of the strategy, I very much doubt it. theres some more clues right there.
cheers
