One of the ways that professional trading firms make consistent profits, regardless of the market's direction, is through Options trading. By structuring and timing Options trades with non-directional strategies, professional traders consistently make money in up and down markets.
One of the most popular non-directional Options trading techniques utilized by the savvy Wall Street trading firms are Condor Options spreads. The concept of Condor spreads is similar to how an insurance company issues an insurance policy.
Insurance companies know statistically the probability of a loss in the near future, and they charge a premium that allows them to make a profit for the risk during that time period. The odds are always in the favor of the insurance company.
A Condor spread is based on the same strategy. You use available statistics to determine the probability of stock or index price movements in the near future, and you collect premiums by making trades on Options positions that have a very low probability of loss during that time period. You take positions where the odds are deeply in your favor. And of course, you always have a backup plan if things go wrong.
An Iron Condor - the secret trading technique I'll share with you in this book - allows you to double your return without doubling your risk.
How popular is this strategy with Wall Street elites?
Warren Buffet makes BILLIONS of dollars most years using this Options strategy. This is the primary Options strategy Berkshire Hathaway utilizes; just check their annual 10-K filings which are available for free, and search for "equity index put Option contracts."
