What is the typical duration of a trade?
The typical duration of a trade in the Delta-Neutral service approximately 30-40 days. This is because we are selling the short term options to collect the premium typically with the next month from the date the trade is entered.

The team at EWO then reviews these candidates manually including a review of available options to construct options positions and issue alerts.
How will I
manage risk?
Risk management is our primary consideration when it comes to our trade alerts service and educating you on our trading strategies.
In general, our risk management guidelines recommend that you risk no more than 5% of available trading capital in any position. We therefore never exceed a position value of $500 per trade for our premium services.
