What are the major differences between Optionslam and other trading website?

We as the creator of Optionslam are using some advanced option techniques to trade over the years. Before this website was created, we were trading options using strategy such as Straddle and Strangle being executed on certain targeted company that we anticipates major stocks movement in the near term. We found out that there are a lot of trading websites, public newsletters that give general advises to people. The majority of them possess valuable educational material and technical articles. However the following services are lacking

  • No tools to narrow down from vast amount of option-related information that are available.
  • No rating system in relation to our option-trading strategy.
  • Lack of real-time analysis to aid in decision making.
  • Hard to find shared or pooled expert knowledge on discussion forums / comments.

Hence we decided to create our own system to aid us during the trading process, and we are glad to share it with you.

What are the general criteria to start using Optionslam’s recommended strategy?

There is really not much barrier for anyone to start using our system. We would recommend the following,

  • You are prepared to take some loss on certain trades and also be patient to wait for the big trades to make big profit.

I have heard that options are very risky trading vehicles, is that true?
