OP Newsletter (OPN) Subscription Features

What is OPNewsletter (OPN)?

OPNewsletter is established to provide low risk options trading suggestions based on my real-money portfolio that I am willing to share with subscribers. It is no way a recommendation letter and please note that I am not a financial advisor.

Before you read further, please read “Legal Notices and Disclaimer” carefully to understand the terms and conditions for usage of this blog and its services.

Past Performance:

I decided to start OPN in April 2007. Since then it has been posting double digit gains except once. This list will continue to be updated as we continue to close the trades. A month is counted generally as 3rd friday of each month that is inline with US Equities Options Expiration calendar.

May 2007 +22.3% (Closed, these were mentioned for free on the blog)
June 2007 +33.5%
July 2007 +32.7%
Aug’07 +17.9%
Sep’07 +6.9%
Oct’07 +57.36%
Nov’07 +17.1%
Dec’07 (No Trading)
Jan’08 +14.8%
Feb’08 + 11.6%
Mar’08 +16.5%

The results are excluding commissions.

Objectives of OPN:

Target monthly returns of 5%-7% on overall invested capital.
Short Holding period
High winning probability trades
Capital preservation always overrides missing an investment opportunity

With subscription, what to expect?

An average of 3 to 6 options mini-portfolio trades per month.
- Contrary to popular newsletter services, OPN uses a portfolio approach. I don’t believe that just by investing in one credit spread or iron condor I can continue to grow my large capital base as I personally am risk averse and will in most case never invest all money into one trade.
- A mini-portfolio may consists of multiple spreads for the same underlying.
A mix of powerful trading strategies i.e. Iron Condors, credit spreads, double diagonals, diagonal and calendars.
Weekly commentary on open position.
Immediate alerts and notifications on any updates and adjustments.
An exclusive section devoted to OPN on forum where you can discuss the trades with the fellow subscribers or ask questions directly from OP.
Prompt replies to your e-mail questions.
Transparancy in performance reporting.
Bonus trade alerts - Though not part of OPN, this is an alert service. I share if I find something interesting on the street.

How Much it cost?

Monthly Subscription - US$ 148
Quarterly Subscription - US$ 399
Yearly Subscription - US$1,599

Satisfaction Gaurentee

No Fee, if No Profit (Always, Every Month) !!!

My commitment is simple. I want to make money with you, not from you. I trade and that generates returns for me. Newsletter is not my business. This satiate my desire of writing and sharing and be rewarded for the efforts. I invest my own money in most of the trades I share via OPN. If you lose, I lose too and if you profit, I profit too.

If it doesn’t make money, no subscription charged for that month. Net, I earn my money by delivering profits to you.

Check the FAQ for questions on OPN, Trade/Strategy and account.

Profitable trading, OP

Hi
Are you planning to open the membership for more subscribers in the near future? Is there a wait list for it?

Option Pundit,
Please add me to the wait list for the newsletter.
I agree whole heartedly with reason #7.
Your happiness increases multifold when you help somebody. That is one of the main reasons why I want to earn money so that I can give it away to the needy and improve their life.
Thanks for your website.
Only Option
P.S: I do not see the cost of the subscription for the newsletter.

RK Murthy, David and Only Option, thank you for your kind words and interest in OPN. I have repriced it at $148/month and I shall be opening soon. My commitment will still remain “No PROFIT, NO FEE”. Since I shall be keeping it limited, first preference will always be to the x-subscribers. I shall keep you posted when I open the “wait-list”.

Thanks again, profitable trading, OP

Also would be interested in the waiting list. OP, just thought I’d give you some feedback. Your site introduced me to the idea of income trading which I’ve done well so far. I appreciate the effort of putting all this information together. I’ve steered a few others to your site who have consequently shifted some of their portfolio to income trading. Cool stuff.

I’m interested in OPN, but was wondering what would be the minimum trading account necessary to make this worthwhile?
OptionPundit
January 18th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

Pls check my e-mail for detailed reply. Minimum account for all mini portfolio is roughly $10,000. Generally there are 3-4 mini-portfolio and therefor you may chose to alter capital according to how many portfolio you may want to open.

Profitable trading, OP

Dear Option Pundit,

I have been reading your postings and have enjoyed it. I noticed you opened your waiting list and I am interested in registering for it. Two questions..

#1. I am not a day trader since I am in a full-time job so will I be able to benefit your alerts with taking positions in the evening or morning only

#2. I am still in early stages of my option investments. My level of comforts are limited to long calls, puts and vertical spreads, will I benefit from your recommendations till such time I get comfortable in iron condors and butterflies.

Thank you.

Regards
Wealth Builder

Do you count the trading cost in your performance or is it before trading cost?
The reason I’m asking is bcause some trades like Iron Condor are very costly and eat a lot of the profit (so you can have +15% on a trade but with the trading cost it becomes closer to 5% even with a cheap trading cost).
Thanks!
OptionPundit
February 17th, 2008 at 1:45 am

These are x-commission because our trading cost is very cheap. For instance, if you open a RUT iron condor for say $800 margins (i.e. make $200 on $800), our commissions vary from $3 to $6 per trade (we can tell you how to lower your commissions) excluding adjustments….that’s 1.5% to 3.00%.

Commissions are not counted as it varies from broker to broker used by individual traders.

Thanks!
I started IC recently on QQQQ and I just realized that’s the reason why the trading cost was expensive. On Q, my max risk is around $2-credit, right? (a better profit/risk than $1 spread).
So that means that in order to make $200 on $800,
I actually have to trade 5*4 contracts. So it becomes $30 for open / close. My calculation in the past was that I would not earn always $200 on $800 - maybe something more like $100 in average with some losses here and there.
At the end I would have $100 benefit - $30 for trade - $30 for taxes = $40 on a risk of $830! On top of that, the risk of early assignment that can mess up my margin. Whoa! I was ready to give up on IC.

But with RUT, it gives me a much more manageable trading cost and I don’t risk early assignments / margin issues nor shares to buy back / sell if I wanted to squeeze more profit by keeping my ATM options till the end. Thanks for the info!

Also i saw that I had to pay $45 to be on the waiting list? Is there some refund of some sort?

Hi,

Please include me in your waiting list. I would love to subscribe to your newsletter. Also, since you give several recommendations monthly, what should the minimum account size be to follow your recommendations?

Thanks,

OPN Performance

This assumes a $10,000 starting and fully invested capital. The current phase started when OPNewsletter was re-opened in Jan'08 for Feb'08 expiration. OPN Month is counted as 3rd Friday of each month same as US Equity option expiration day. Comparison with S&P500 or Dow is not shown as it's unfair to expect from such large institution to deliver high returns. I would rather compare with my own target.
