S and P 100 Index Stock Option Trading Strategies

At OEX Options we don't just provide daily trading signals, but we teach you how we trade. We teach you how to invest in the stock market. 

Having an "enter" strategy (buying an option) is only a small part of successful option investing. It's how much to buy, what to pay, and when to sell (at profit or loss) that are the keys to a complete trading system.  Hone your stock option profit strategy with us. 

Here are some samples of what our subscribers learn while learning the stock market from us. With a subscription, the password-protected areas of this site have articles that teach much, much more.  Find out how to tackle the S and P 100.  Nail down your option strategy. 

Analyze the support and resistance lines (our daily alerts provide them) to know the historical trends. These are the historical highs and lows for the trend in motion and they help traders know when to buy and sell.

Do not trade too often. At OEX we'll provide up to 50 or 60 signals to our subscribers in a given month. We teach you how to pick series of options from which to profit.

Do not study or chart too much when it comes to your option trading strategy. Learn one thing well. We chose the S and P 100 index because it's volatile and tracks stocks like Microsoft, Johnson and Johnson, GE, Citigroup, Wal-Mart, AIG, Exxon, Coke, Pfizer and Bank of America. These are the top 10 holdings of the OEX. Learn the trends of the S and P 100 index and profit from them.

We teach how to analyze the short-term trend of the OEX. Safe blue chip option investing takes place when the trader is expert at what they do, not "good at a lot, but best at none." Become an expert in what you trade. We show you how we chart and "read the trend."

Did you know that 90% of all option traders lose money?

It's simple, really. Most option traders come to the business of investing with no plan.  They aren't sure when to take profits, when to take losses (and you will have them) and how much or what to pay. They simply "buy" on a signal and wonder months later why they've not made money.  We can give you better option trading strategies than that! 

The astute option trader has a plan when it comes to stock option trading strategy. How much to risk, how much to be willing to pay and how to control losses. Our systems of trading include "rules of engagement" -- our how to's of trading.

Success in trading isn't knowing when to sell at a profit, but knowing when to reduce and eliminate potentially larger losses.  That's a stock option profit strategy! 

Control your emotions. That's your first lesson in how to invest in the stock market.  Anxiety, fear and greed build in traders as they watch the market.  This results in traders buying too much, selling too soon or just not selling.  Learn the stock market from us; we teach a system with rules.

If there is no trend, stop trying to find one. 

There is always advance notice of a decline on the S and P 100 Index.

75% of all option trades go between bid/ask prices.

A 21-day until expiration really means, with premium time decay, that there are 11 days until the erosion affects the value of the option.

Events or news and a variety of triggers can affect the market with highly volatile changes in trend and 100 point plus jumps on a trading day. This is when the real 100-200% returns can be made and they occur 20 plus times a year.

An "in the money" ITM option will pick up value the quickest. An "at the money" ATM option loses time premium most quickly.  When there is sharp market move "out of the money," OTM options have far greater return.

There is a simple indicator that a trader can "read" in the first 10 minutes of the market's opening that predicts with a 71% accuracy ratio where the market will trend that day!

We seldom "chase a price" up. The top price to pay for an option you're considering is the prior day closing price.

The option trading strategies here are just a few of the "tricks" and methods we use at OEX Options.
