Welcome to the large account portfolio series, where I share my expert approach to trading options with a six-figure account. This strategy is designed for those who want to generate consistent income while managing risk efficiently.
The Starting Point: $100,000 and a Proven Wealth-Building Plan
This portfolio is built on disciplined options trading, focusing on steady, risk-controlled growth rather than speculative trades.
- Starting Balance: $100,000
- Trading Focus: Cash-Secured Puts, Covered Calls, Credit Spreads
- Performance Target: 2% monthly return ($2,000 in the first month, compounding over time)
With compounding, this portfolio can achieve significant long-term growth.
- Investing in SPY with an average 10% annual return would grow the account to approximately $466,000 in 15 years.
- Using this 2% monthly strategy, the potential portfolio value could exceed $3.5 million, highlighting the power of active trading over passive investing.
This approach focuses on steady, scalable income generation while leveraging compounding returns.
My Expert Trading Strategy: Three Core Techniques
To maximize profitability and risk control, I focus on these key options strategies:
1. Selling Cash-Secured Puts
- Selling puts on high-quality stocks and ETFs to generate consistent income
- Selecting high implied volatility (IV) stocks to maximize premium collection
- Managing risk by choosing strikes at strong support levels
2. Covered Calls for Passive Income
- Selling calls against stocks I own to generate monthly yield
- Using weekly and monthly expirations to optimize cash flow
- Rolling positions strategically to capture maximum premium
3. Credit Spreads for Efficient Capital Use
- Trading bull put spreads and bear call spreads for defined-risk setups
- Using high liquidity underlyings to ensure tight bid-ask spreads
- Keeping risk controlled by limiting exposure to 5% per trade
This three-pronged strategy ensures consistent returns while preserving capital.
The Goal: Reliable, Compounding Returns
By targeting a 2% monthly return, this portfolio aims to generate $2,000 per month initially, with returns growing exponentially over time.
This strategy isn’t about short-term speculation—it’s about leveraging steady, compounding growth to build long-term wealth.
Performance Benchmarks: Comparing to CDs and SPY
To measure success, I compare my portfolio’s performance against two key benchmarks:
- Certificates of Deposit (CDs): A traditional, low-risk investment with predictable returns.
- SPY (S&P 500 ETF): Tracks the broader market and serves as a standard comparison for portfolio performance.
By following this strategy, we aim to outperform traditional investing methods while maintaining risk control.
