I am pleased to announce the launch of a major new service from the Mad Hedge Fund Trader, THE MAD OPTIONS TRADER.
The service will focus primarily on the weekly US equity options expirations, with the goal of making profits at all times.
The trading will take place in the S&P 500 (SPX), major industry ETF?s like the Financials Select Sector (XLF), and large capitalized single names, such as Facebook (FB), JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM), and Apple (AAPL).
The service will be provided by my old friend and fellow comrade in arms, Matt Buckley, of Top Gun Options, one of the best performing trade mentoring outfits in the industry.
Matt knows what he is talking about. An independent audit shows that he has racked up an incredible 48.45% performance, net of commissions and fees, so far in 2016 which has been one of the most difficult years in trading history.
That works out to an average 6.92% a month, or an incredible 83.05% a year.
Matt, a native of New Jersey, joined the Navy straight out of college, and rose to become an F-18/A fighter pilot. He attended the famed Top Gun school in Coronado, California. During the second Iraq War, Matt flew 44 combat missions.
Matt left the service in 2006, and immediately entered the hedge fund industry. A rapid series of promotions eventually took him to Peak6 Investments, L.P., a prominent Chicago hedge fund.
There, he soaked up the most successful elements of technical market timing, fundamental name selection, risk control, and options trade execution.
These are the multiple skills that have enabled Matt to post such a blockbuster performance.
Matt, known to his friends by his old pilot handle of ?Whiz?, is an incredibly valuable addition to the Mad Hedge Fund Trader team. I have appointed him Head of Options Trading.
I have known for some time that fortunes were being made in the weekly options expirations, where stories of tenfold returns are not unheard of. It is a strategy that is perfectly suited to these highly volatile, uncertain times, with most options positions expiring within four days.
Matt allows us to fill that gap in our product offerings.
The Mad Options Trader provides essential support for the active trader, and will include:
1) Instant Trade Alerts sent out at key technical levels, an average of one a day. Alerts will be sent out on the opening and closing of every position.
2) Weekly Market Strategy Webinars held every Monday at 1:00 PM EST to give you a head?s up on the week ahead.
3) A weekly Live Trading Room held every Tuesday from 9:00 to 11:00 AM EST to give followers active real time trading experience.
What I love about Matt is that he eats his own cooking. Many of the Trade Alerts he recommends are executed in his own personal retirement account with real dollars.
To see how he has performed so far in 2016, please check out the daily chart below.
You will have an ample opportunity to measure The Mad Options Trader?s abilities starting August 1.
That?s when all current paid subscribers for any product of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader start receiving the service for FREE for 30 days.
From September 1, The Mad Options Trader will be available as a $1,500 per year upgrade to The Diary of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader or Global Trading Dispatch, the core research and trade mentoring service of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader.
The price for both services together will be $4,500 a year.
So, use this opportunity wisely, and watch how the Mad Options Trader performs over the coming month, FOR FREE.
Good Luck and Good Trading
