What is OptionSmart.com?

a. Basic OptionSmartSM Features

 

OptionSmartSM is a think tank coupled with state-of-the-art technologies to deliver high quality option trading signals. That means: superior returns with little downside risk.

You can use our option picks and expertise in your own decision-making as well as in auto-trading with major brokerages. OptionSmartSM is leading auto-trade service that allows you to stay away from trading decisions and save your nerves and time.

We focus on short-term trading because market plays these days are mostly short-lived and the market becomes much less predictable in the long run.

Our key trading vehicles - bullish and bearish call/put spreads. These powerful and easily adjustable option strategies - until now, exploited only by professionals - are available for everyone. They give you a very good chance (historically, well above 90%) to capture profit opportunities arising from stock market shifts.

We not only offer trading alerts but also publish in-depth Research Notes with detailed pros and cons, suggested market play descriptions and recommended option trading vehicles. In this way, you tap our expertise for your own decision-making. This research is based on our 3-D Option Trading© methodology that takes into consideration not only technicals and fundamentals, but also the market game being played.

b. Direct Advantages of OptionSmartSM

When advances in technology reduced brokerage commissions, execution time and the minimum required investment, the new option trading technique became available to an audience of innovative retail investors.

Direct advantages in time and money:

  1. You don't need to put your entire capital at risk. Use only a small fraction. Keep the rest in risk-free bonds. Option trading gives you exciting leverage along with a possibility to capture profits from underlying stock price movements.
  2. You avoid "dead money" situations and the necessity to invest for a long time. We bet on short-term stock price changes that are, naturally, much more predictable. Therefore, you can reduce your market exposure any time you want.
  3. You can be involved in real-time trading as little as you like. Auto-trading technology gives you the unique opportunity to put your trading on auto-pilot. You can monitor ongoing trading activity in real time and take back full control at any moment.
  4. You make your bets on quite foreseeable short-term trends established by large traders. We recognize these trends and show you how to benefit from this knowledge. The point is that large traders use program trading technology and all their market power to support these trends. It would be naive to ignore this real fact of life and believe that stocks are driven only by technicals and fundamentals.

 

DISCLAIMER ABOUT OUR PUBLISHED TRACK RECORD

It is important that you fully understand how Optionsmart autotrading service works.

The service INCLUDES:
1. Optionsmart sends email alerts to your broker.
2. Optionsmart allows your broker to link their auto-trading mechanism to your brokerage account.
3. Optionsmart provides you with monthly statements and analysis from our Control Accounts at e-Option.

The service DOES NOT INCLUDE:
1. Actual execution of our alerts (this is a service provided by your broker).
2. Any activities within your brokerage account (they are performed by you and your broker, we have no access to your account).
3. Any guarantees that the entry and exit prices on your account statement will be similar to the prices from our Control Accounts. (The execution of our alerts is done by your broker, we have no control over it. Even if your account is also with eOption, the actual execution prices may vary).

A trade, in relation to spreads, is a total of spreads and related roll over operations. Trade entry date: date when an initial position was opened. Trade exit date: date when all open positions were finally closed. Trade profitability is calculated as ratio of the trade’s total credits over total debits. An up-to-date list of open positions is available to all subscribers on the product pages.

Brokers often execute same auto-trading signals differently. We reserve a right to create a separate trade in our trade record in cases like these. It is also quite possible that the same broker executes the same signal differently for two different subscribers. Therefore your performance will inadvertently vary from Site’s official track record and any model portfolio that may be derived from this track record. Additionally, the performance of your individual trades will vary from site’s official track record in case you set allocations other then recommended by site; if you link site’s autotrading signals to an account that holds other securities; conduct trading activity with the account other than through site’s autotrading signals; or cancel the service before trades are closed.

Online trading has inherent risk due to system response and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. An investor should understand these and additional risks before trading.

Performance numbers shown are based on actual trades executed by brokerages: eOption, optionsXpress and thinkorswim, etc.
