How to Trade Like a Pro and Not Be Scared of Options Expiration Dates

How Traders Can Get 7:1 Returns on Their Money

How does risking just $1 dollar for the opportunity to make $7 sound?

What about $1,000 to potentially make $7,000?

This is what we call the "profit factor" — the risk-to-reward ratio for an investment.

A profit factor over 2.0 is good, while anything above 3.0 is considered outstanding.

For every $1 risked, one strategy has seen $7 in return….

And WealthPress Senior Strategist Roger Scott has perfected the strategy that's scored a profit factor of 7.05 over the past 12 years of trading!

How to Trade Expiring 'in the Money' Options Like a Pro

Do you know how professional traders ride options into expiration?

And to be clear, I'm not talking about 20-cent options that are $5 out of the money (OTM) on the underlying stock.

I'm talking about when you have an options trade that's in the money (ITM) — or when the price of the underlying stock is higher than the strike price of the option.

A lot of trading books and "experts" will tell you to close out ITM options the week of expiration... Or to close them out early before they expire because of time decay!

And I'm here to tell you, that's all junk...

When you're trading ITM options and approaching expiration, don't worry...

Because you're basically playing the stock itself at that point.

Here's Why

1 Long, 1 Short Trade as Stocks Jump on Earnings

There's not much in the news affecting the markets right now aside from interest rates and earnings, which have so far been solid.

About 80% of the companies that have reported have beat on earnings-per-share estimates, and 80% to 85% have beat on revenue estimates.

Bank of America missed on estimates for fourth-quarter revenue but beat on profit estimates, sending shares up 4% in premarket trading. Morgan Stanley found itself in a similar situation and rose about 5% pre-market.

Consumer goods provider Procter & Gamble topped expectations for both quarterly earnings and revenue, boosting its full-year forecast and sending shares up about 1%.

Procter & Gamble also confirmed something we saw coming here at WealthPress months ago… Shoppers are largely unfazed by higher prices, which means more price increases are on the way…

And as earnings season continues, I have for you my top long and short trades, each with an option strike and expiration.

A 52-Week High/Low is the highest and lowest price that a stock has traded at during the previous year. It is a technical indicator used by some traders and investors who view the 52-week high or low as an important factor in determining a stock's current value, and predicting future price movement. As a stock trades within its 52-week price range (the range that exists between the 52-week low and the 52-week high), these traders and investors may show increased interest as the price nears either the high or the low.
