I'd forgotten all about it...

A small trading account in an IRA that I hadn't paid attention to in years, until my wife waved the statement at me one day and said, "What's the point of having $3,500 in an IRA if you aren't going to do anything with it?"

Good question, right?

So, I did something with it.

Now, the first problem most of us face with small accounts is this: HOW do you get it to grow faster?

And most people I know usually go out and gamble on options or stocks...

...and lose their money.

What I know, however, is that selling options is the smarter, more profitable, and higher probability trading strategy when it comes to options.

BUT of course, it's hard to 'sell options' when you only have $3,500...

What I needed was a strategy that could ACCELERATE growth by getting outsized returns in LESS TIME without needing tens of thousands of dollars because I didn't have tens of thousands of dollars.

The result?

A unique options trade anyone can make that has already paid returns of over 93% in just six months.

I put together a small team of options traders to devise a simple strategy that would work for any size trading account and get substantially higher returns in less time. And what we came up with was so astounding, we had to share it with you.

We called it "The Options Trade That Keeps On Giving."

It's a simple trade you make and then use it to collect cash income every week. Now, it's DIFFERENT than most options strategies. We're not selling puts on high dollar stocks, or selling covered calls and we're not gambling by buying options.

Nope. None of that.

We took a simpler approach using just ONE stock, and collected cash income every week.

Look at the results:

I started using "The Options Trade That Keeps On Giving" in November 2020 with that $3,500...Over the first 60 days using this strategy, I pulled down $1,010 in cash income (which I reinvested).

I ran this strategy again in January 2021...Over the next 60 days, I grabbed another $1,561 in cash income (again, reinvesting it).

Then in April - with the markets going up and down and every which way - I used it a THIRD time to cash in with another $708 in cash gains (still reinvesting!).

Altogether, that "forgotten IRA" is now worth over $6,700, a 93% gain in just 6 months. That's nearly doubling the value of that small account using The Options Trade That Keeps On Giving...

...and it means I'm on pace to turn that $3,500 account into over $12,900 in just one year!

I told my wife what I'd accomplished and you'd think she would have been happy...but do you know what she said to me?

"That's it?"

Oh, come on!

The Options Trade That Keeps On Giving has four simple objectives:

To make selling options for income (or growth) available to traders of any account size

Reduce the cost of entering the trade (up to 95% capital reduction)

Increase leverage for traders with larger accounts

Pay out consistent income at higher rates of return for faster growth of small trading accounts

The solution for smaller accounts was to let the power of options do ALL the heavy lifting for us. So what we did was to "stack" a series of basic, yet simple options trades on top of one another so we could:

• "Replace" stock/ETF ownership by using options
• Reduce capital needed by more than 90% (this is HUGE)

Instead of needing tens of thousands of dollars, you'll discover you need a FRACTION of that capital. That's why this trade can work for any size trading account.

• Limit the overall trading risk, protecting our capital (this is built INTO the options strategy)

Now like you, we hate losing money, which is why we BUILT IN a protection component to this trade so we wouldn't have to worry about losing money.

• Add an "income" component so we could collect income every single week

This is the PURPOSE of the trade. The income we generated, as we've shown, provided the gains for this strategy.

• "Update" the trade once every week so it didn't require a lot time to manage

You want "simple"? The income part of the trade gets updated each week (so you literally get weekly income) and takes just a few minutes of time. That's it. You're in, you're out, you're back on the golf course.

• Create a trade that could "scale" for larger trading accounts

The capital needed to trade just one contract for this strategy is small, which means a larger trading account can "scale up" the number of contracts trading for 5x or 10x returns. Thus, The Options Trade That Keeps On Giving is a universal strategy that can be used by anyone, with any size trading account.

One of our favorite ETFs to use with this strategy is the SPDR S&P500 (SPY). If you wanted to sell just one options contract on the SPY it would take $39,000...

That's not a typo, either.

Instead, our unique approach SLASHES that capital by 93%. We've been trading the SPY since last year using this strategy and our average capital requirement? Just $2,955 per one contract.

That's what makes this strategy so powerful: less capital needed without sacrificing the income potential from the trade. It also explains why we're able to position this trading strategy for smaller accounts, and why we're able to get outrageous returns on our portfolio.

Using just the SPY with the Options Trade That Keeps On Giving, I've shown you how I nearly doubled (so far) a small, $3,500 IRA account; and you've seen the chart showing the growth and income from this trade. But for a moment, I want to take you inside the numbers -- inside the returns generated using this strategy.

FIRST RUN: November - January, 2020/21

I started with my paltry $3,500...

Following the strategy, I used the Options Trade That Keeps On Giving on the SPY, as I noted earlier. I made updates to the trade each week over a two month period to collect cash income.

By the end of the trading period, I closed the trade with total income from the trade of $1,010. That's a 28.9% return on capital in about 60 days of trading. (For simplicity, I'm accounting for the full value of the portfolio for the return generated, even if I only used a portion of my capital.)

Now, it isn't realistic to think we'll get 28% every 60 days...

SECOND RUN: The January - March trade proves that. Because we did even better! Take a look:

In this trading period, The Options Trade That Keeps On Giving provided 50% more income, $1,561 on our starting capital of $4,510. That's a 34.6% return on capital in 60 days.

Now, a quick note - I was closing this trade every 60 days and 'starting over' - you'll find you don't actually have to do this. I did it so I could better track the results from period to period.

At this point, I've already collected $2,571 in cash income on my original $3,500. Pretty insane, isn't it?

Remember, too, I wasn't trading every day. Just a once a week update to the trade to collect income.

Which brings me to the most recent period: September 2021 Workshop Returns.

In this period, we still collected an overall 19.3% gain in cash income. Take a look at the results below.
