Very good service for options trading – Selling Puts. Recommendations are once a week for regular subscription (1 suggested company name, suggested option trade and detailed research) , twice for premium (2nd e-mail is normally 3 company names and suggested option trade , not as much detailed information). In my 4th year with the service, May 2017, have made over $30,000 dollars.

I agree with Joe, I have also been using this service for 4 years and have made over $40,000 dollars. Have only had 6 losing trades in 4 years. The one thing you have to remember that if you are trading this in a taxable account you will owe money on your profits.

Joe, Carol – thanks for your comments. What was the percentage return of the $30,000 and $40,000? Thanks

Stats from 2017 – approximately 150 trades (started another service as well in October), 30 days average in trade, 94% success rate. Made over $11,000 this year. Did an average of 3 contracts per trade. Recommendations are usually good, quality companies. Have bought and kept some for long term.

Are the vast majority of the recommended trades selling naked puts?

Selling puts is a great primary strategy for nine years out of 10. Then, in year 10, the market has a one-week correction of over 30%, and you go bankrupt unless your position sizing is exquisitely well done.

or you hedge your position by buying another put further out; lessens the take but caps the leak.

The recommendations in the standard service (1 per week) fared the February pull back very well. Believe the 3 or 4 naked Put selling options recommend for Feb 16, all expired above strike price, so premiums were kept as profit.
I have the upgrade d subscription which gives an additional 2 to 3 picks per week, but not as much research. They didn’t do as well, plus I got a little aggressive as I thought the pull back would happen in March or April. As mentioned, the recommendations are on good companies, so the occasional having Put the stock , they provide recommendations on selling covered calls. Overall, satisfied and would recommend this service and plan on continuing to renew the subscription for several years. I have a subscription to Maximum Options by Ken Trester as well, lots of trading, mostly Spreads, so lots of “fees”. I use Fidelity, so not overly expensive, just hate to pay all those fees ,especially on 25 or 30 cent option.

I have Paul Mampilly’s Extremes Fortunes subscription and many other premium services from Banyan Hill Publishing as well. I was hoping to share my subscriptions in exchange for Amber Hestla’s Income Trader subscription with someone. If interested and would like to discuss, please feel free to email me at EFtrader2017@gmail.com
Thanks.

Income Trader- service provides one stock to sell puts for its Portfolio and then 2-3 others to consider. She claims that the Puts will be at 20% margin. My two accounts charge me 100% backup on Puts, which limit my # of options. I do not know if these accounts will change after I demonstrate success or not? I sell the Puts at one or two higher prices what she recommends to gain more income. I have gains of $1000- 2000 per month except for Oct (-700) and Nov (-300) on 10 trades per month. I started April, 2018. I am please except the margin limitations.

Margin limitation depends upon your account size, and the available cash currently in your account. Your broker can provide you that information.

I just signed up Cash Flow class. Are there anybody using the IncomeTrader service recently and share the review? Stacy showed incredible tool to find good stocks to trade at the presentation. I need to make consistent weekly and monthly income to replace my paycheck.

So you guys pay $5,000/yr to earn about $10,000/yr? I’m I looking in the wrong place to sign up for this? I feel like I’m missing something.

Came here searching the name, she is currently running ads for the put options service where her “magic formula” will provide you with the info to make at least “90% successful” options trades. You get to the end of the pitch, and the service is $3000. If the trades don’t work? No refund, she’ll give you another year no charge.
If she only had 100 subscribers, she’d be making $300K. She doesn’t have to do trades herself with that flowing in every year.

Update on this service. The news letter was bought by the Adam Mesh Group and now authored by Meredith Margrave for almost a year now. She did work with Amber Hestla for sometime so seemless transition.
I still subscribe to the service, just renewed for two more years. Started this service in Oct of 2013. I have also developed my own system so don’t trade as many of the recommendations as I use to.
2019 total trades = 131; 125 wins/6 losses
2020 total trades = 25; 14 wins/ 5 losses
2021 total trades = 39; 35 wins/ 4 losses
2022 total trades = 32; 25 wins/ 3 losses/ 4 still open (expire 12/16/2022 – all on track to be winners).
Results more than pay for my subscription (still at the 2013 rate).
