Why trade Options?

Trading Options can help you reduce risk and lock-in profits in all types of markets.

Throughout his four decades of trading, NEoWave founder and trading advisor Glenn Neely has experimented with a wide variety of trading options. In fact, "trading Options" is one of those! While every strategy has its pros and cons, he found that, at times, trading Options can be useful as a well-performing investment strategy and can serve a purpose in your overall portfolio.

Glenn Neely began researching Options when 3 of the 4 markets he had followed for decades went sideways for 3 years. Trading those markets was a frustrating, ongoing challenge. He thoroughly researched this complex trading strategy and, eventually, "cracked the code" to successfully apply Options strategies. In doing so, he discovered that trading Options can help you reduce risk and lock-in profits during sideways and choppy markets.

"Options can increase your odds of profitable trading. Options provide advantages NO other investment vehicle can offer!" Glenn Neely

Glenn Neely's additional words of advice:

"A lot of traders try to make as much money as possible, and they forget about the risks they're taking. My goal – which should be the goal of every trader – is that return OF your capital is more important than return ON your capital. In other words, you always want to try to get your money back first and then everything else is, as they say in Louisiana, lagniappe. It's extra. Writing premium on Options increases your chances of getting your money back first. When you buy Options, they can provide the best of both worlds in the investment business: limited risk with unlimited potential." Glenn Neely
