Leaps Options by BetterTrades

Traders who become familiar with the BetterTrades system quickly learn about the possibility of turning a profit by using long-term options, also known as LEAPS, which have the potential to provide a wider safety margin and a nice margin of return.

The BetterTrades coach who specializes in LEAPS is Darlene Powell, who has produced a distance learning DVD set that explains the process for trading long-term options, which are defined as an option that has at least nine months until expiration. This doesn't mean you hold the position for nine months; you could be in and out of the trade in a day or so, but the additional time provides some definite wiggle room if the stock happens to move in the wrong direction. The long-term options can last as long as two years. They trade like normal options, but allow investors the potential to benefit from the appreciation of equities, while placing a lot less money at risk than is necessary to purchase stock.

LEAPS can even be used to write covered calls following the BetterTrades rules and use the long-term option to potentially reap more than the standard amount. They have the potential to permit a trader to use safety nets in order to make transactions with less risk and have the potential to increase your income 50 times faster than trading stock.

Among the topics covered at the BetterTrades LEAPS class include phantom growth and consistent cash flow in five minutes a day, how to profit if you are called out, how to benefit from nine case studies on in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money LEAPS. You will learn how to select better trading opportunities and find the most appropriate option to purchase. You can understand how to use these long-range options for calendar, vertical and diagonal spreads and will be given the secrets to protecting your portfolio with stops and insurance.

Those in the Las Vegas area will benefit from Darlene Powell's regular appearances in the area and might benefit from registering for her two-day class. (Those who can't attend may want to purchase the 10-DVD series and follow that up by attending the live event whenever possible.) She teaches something called "Brain Freeze Trading," which occurs when the market makes a sudden and unexpected move in the wrong direction that results in a painful loss. After attending the class and learning more about long-term equities, you should have the potential to react in a more suitable manner and avoid a potential disaster.
