The Paper Case Studies

The Original Paper Case Study Training Course

At SJ Options you'll watch us begin option trades and follow them as they develop with our Paper Case Study Training System.  You'll gain expertise fast - way faster than is possible with pre-recorded instruction alone!  Plus - you'll learn to use the latest online tools (ie. Think or Swim) just by attending class...  We work together with you, our apprentice, watching over your shoulder in our Paper Case Study Sessions. We offer a variety of ongoing studies that you can follow in order to educate yourself quickly on the option strategies that we offer in our course.

PM Paper Case Studies

Learn Diverse Ways to Manage Vega

We put on a variety of Paper Case Studies using PM in order to illustrate ways to diversify Vega and to control risk.  We also demonstrate ways to effectively create insurance plays as well as income spreads using a PM Account.  Finally, we explore various ways to save on commissions using the PM Margin Rules based on risk.

High Probability Ratio Spreads

If you're working with PM, then you will be devoted to learning the proprietary strategies of SJ Options which can yield you quite handsome returns with much less risk when compared to traditional option strategies.  We have a method to achieve 99% Probability of Profit (POP) on many of our trades using the Revolver Adjustment System (RAS).

Our primary focus is on Ratio Spreads to give us the flexibility we need with all the Greeks, especially Vega.  It just so happens that we also save quite a bit on commissions when trading a PM Account.

REG-T Paper Case Studies

Trading Your IRA or Regulation T Accounts

If you trading in an IRA or a Regulation T Account, then these Paper Case Studies are for you. We apply the same proprietary strategies which develop a 99% POP nearly 100% of the time as we do with our Portfolio Margin trading.  The only difference is we use more legs on our spreads.

Conservative Income Strategies

Our conservative Paper Case Studies focus primarily on the use of Unbalanced Condors and Leaps to develop long-term income spreads that can better handle today's volatile markets.

Earnings Plays

We also teach earnings trades which can be done in any type of options account.  Earnings plays can produce fast returns, but they are meant for the more aggressive trader.  We eliminate as much of the gamble as possible by using our instant back testing software tools before we place our trades.


Futures Paper Case Studies

The Future Looks Bright With Commodities

We demonstrate the effectiveness of using the RAS on Futures Options with Commodities.  We find this is a great way to diversify our trading accounts.  While the Financial Markets may be going through another debacle, trades on Corn and Gold may be very stable.  In order to become a truly diversified investor with options, we feel it's a necessity to learn how to trade Commodities.  In our Paper Case Studies we continuously run trades on the futures options as we strive to hone and perfect our innovative strategies to the best they can be.

Possible Returns Using Futures

Although we cannot guarantee returns since markets are always dynamic, we have students who make very handsome returns using Futures Options on Commodities.  In fact, our most successful students are trading this way!  See our Client Success page for true account statements.
