Diversify Your Strategies and
Build Your Portfolio!
Schaeffer's Champion Trader combines six exciting option strategies into one service.
Strategy #1: Paired Trades
It’s easy to identify a trader who implements a paired trading strategy. When the question is asked, “Which way do you think the market is going?”, they say, “WHO CARES?” The strategy is simple - by buying calls on a company poised for a breakout move while buying puts on a distressed company in the same sector (or the sector ETF), you can improve your returns. You can make big profits on the call if your stock goes up in value. If the sector should move against you, your puts can act as insurance, helping reduce your losses.
Strategy #2: Index Credit Spreads
You can use credit spreads to build your winning percentage and add remarkable profits. Bernie Schaeffer’s been trading them since 1993 and has an overall win rate of nearly 80% since then. That’s 8 winners out of every 10 trades...you don’t see that very often in option trading.
Strategy #3: Equity Credit Spreads
Building on the success of our index credit spread trades, we've added equity credit spreads to Champion Trader. This conservative trading approach allows you to pocket premium at the onset of your trade...and we expect a win rate similar to our index credit spreads.
Strategy #4: Vertical Debit Spreads
Vertical debit spreads allow you to lower your breakeven on your trade while increasing your probability for profiting. A true win-win...and perfect for today's market
Strategy #5: Buy-writes
Buy-writes are working particularly well in this market. In fact, it’s generating higher profits than it has in two decades, according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.
Why is this strategy so effective right now? The current market volatility is leading to juicy premiums.
But, as the article points out, “the strategy works well in most markets...” So even if the market starts to settle, you can still pull in some impressive returns using this trading strategy.
Strategy #6: Put selling
Like the other strategies in Champion Trader, a put selling strategy is designed to deliver more consistent profits to options traders.
And it works amazingly well – at least when Bernie’s team puts the strategy to work. Since Schaeffer’s began selling puts in 1997, they’ve had 127 winning trades out of 162 – a 78% win rate!
TRUST THE SCHAEFFER'S EDGE
If you're still relying on fundamental or technical analysis alone, your trading approach is falling short. Investor sentiment is now all the buzz, but traders still don't understand that measuring sentiment alone will not uncover these profitable opportunities.
You need to base your trades on the relationship between Fundamental, Technical, AND Sentiment analysis. At Schaeffer's our proprietary filters and sentiment tools look for stocks where fundamental and technical signs are counter to current investor sentiment. This creates a perfect contrary investing opportunity.
With over 27 years of trading experience, Schaeffer's Expectational Analysis® (the X-Factor®) is a unique, time-tested approach that uses technical, fundamental and sentiment analysis to uncover the best possible play to build your portfolio.
Diversify Your Attack!
If you are practicing just one strategy, you are not doing enough; you are not taking full advantage of the market. Trade with multiple strategies and tackle the market from multiple angles.
