The system identifies stocks and ETF’s that qualify under Chuck’s rigorous trade selection process which uses a variety of both technical and fundamental analysis. Stock options are selected using the Optioneering Calculators with the goal of maximizing profit potential and minimizing risk for a trade.

  • Trade alerts only take a few minutes to implement
  • There is no need to monitor your computer during the trading day
  • Trade alerts include initial entries, full position exits, and partial position exits. Trade alerts give specific instructions to implement the trade recommendation.

Trading Strategies

Option Purchase


The Option Purchase Strategy utilizes the PowerTrend Option System designed to select option trades with a high probability of success. The PowerTrend Option System has a long history of profitability in both bull and bear markets. Both bullish and bearish option positions are implemented. The options traded are slightly ITM with limited Time Value and are typically held anywhere from a few days to a few
weeks.

Call options cover 100 shares of stock and provide trading leverage. Call option returns can often outperform a stock purchase by a 10 to 1 margin over the same time period. Risk is limited to the cost of the option.


Option Spreads


The Option Spread Strategy trades option Debit Spreads. Debit Spreads can profit if the underlying stock is up, down or flat at option expiration. Whenever you can profit when a stock is up, down or flat, you increase your odds of success compared

to directional option trades. Risk is limited to the cost of the option spread. The option spreads are typically held for one to two months. The bearish leg of a call option spread provides downside protection if the underlying stock declines in price. This allows traders to maintain an option spread during volatile markets with a lower chance of being stopped out of a trade and can result in a higher percentage of winning trades.

Account Size


A $5,000-$10,000 account size is recommended to trade one contract for all Option Purchase and Option Spread trade signals.
