How much money do I need to start trading?
Most brokerage firms allow individuals to open accounts with as little as $500. We recommend starting with $2,500 to $5,000. That range lets you participate in more of the setups we release and experience how the system actually works across a full cycle rather than one or two trades.
Do I need a day trading brokerage account?
You need a standard options enabled brokerage account at any major broker. You do not need a separate day trading account.
One thing to be aware of. Because alerts are issued in real time during the session, some positions are opened and closed on the same day. In the United States, an account under $25,000 is limited to three same day round trips in any rolling five business day period under the pattern day trader rule. If your account is under that threshold, factor that into which alerts you take. Most of our positions are held multiple sessions, so this affects a minority of trades, but you should know the rule before it surprises you.

What is QTrader and is it included?
QTrader is a specialized bonus service focused exclusively on options on the QQQ, the Nasdaq 100 ETF. It uses a parabolic time against price indicator combined with a stochastic strength indicator to generate 2 to 3 high conviction QQQ trades per month, both calls and puts. QTrader is included with every MTOptions membership at no extra cost.
Trading & Alerts
When are trade alerts sent?
In real time, during the trading day, the moment a setup triggers. MTOptions is a live alert service. We do not batch picks and send them out in the evening, because an options entry that is sixteen hours old is a different trade at a different price.
What you receive:
Trade alerts go out during market hours the moment the system identifies the entry, delivered by email and by SMS if you have it enabled.
Intraday updates on open positions whenever something changes, including stop adjustments, scale out levels reached, and exits.
Premarket commentary every morning before the opening bell, covering market conditions and every open position with its entry, target and stop.

Turn on SMS alerts so you are not relying on checking email during the session. Email su*****@*******ns.com with your mobile number and we will enable it.
What information is included in each trade alert?
Every alert includes the exact option to trade, the entry price range, a specific stop loss price, a target exit price, scale out levels for taking partial profits, and most importantly the why. We explain the reasoning behind every trade so you always know what you own and why you own it. We do not send blind alerts.
How many trade alerts do you release per week?
We release 4 to 7 new trade alerts per week with an average hold of roughly 4 trading sessions. We emphasize quality over quantity. Only the highest conviction setups make it through to members, which keeps commission costs down and keeps your attention on trades that matter.
How long do you typically hold trades?
The system identifies both short term momentum plays of 1 to 5 days and longer swing setups of 1 to 4 weeks. The average is approximately 4 trading sessions. Some positions are closed the same day they are opened when the move comes fast. The objective is being in the position before the move, not after it.
How does your system pick trades?
Our TrendSearch XL system monitors a set of technical conditions developed over more than two decades, including unusual options volume, parabolic movement in price and time, and sharp changes in relative strength. When those signals align they are scored and weighted against current market conditions, and only the highest scoring setups generate an alert.
The scan is systematic and rules based, which is what keeps emotion out of what gets flagged. Final risk decisions, position management and timing are then applied by traders with 25 years of experience reading live tape. You get both, a system that does not panic and a human who knows when conditions have changed.

Can you profit in a bear or sideways market?
Yes, and this is one of the core strengths of the service. The system is direction agnostic. We trade calls and puts depending on what the signals indicate, and short positions have been in our published archive for years. Our records cover the 2008 financial crisis, the 2020 COVID crash and the 2022 bear market, all periods where opportunities existed on both sides of the tape.

Why trade options instead of stocks?
Options let you pursue larger percentage returns while committing less capital, and they move faster than the underlying stock in either direction. That cuts both ways. The same leverage that produces a double can take a position to zero, which is why every alert we send carries a defined stop and why we publish the trades that do not work alongside the ones that do. Options reward a system with defined risk and punish improvisation.
Will you limit the number of members?
Yes. We deliberately maintain a ceiling on active subscribers for two reasons. First, so every member gets real support rather than a queue. Second, because when too many traders chase the same alert at the same moment, spreads widen and fills get worse for everybody. Limiting membership protects the quality of your entries.

Due to processing costs we maintain a no refund policy on completed billing periods. You can cancel at any time and your membership stays active through the end of the period you have paid for. The free 10 day trial exists so you can evaluate the service before any charge, and you will not be charged if you cancel before it ends.
What happens if my credit card expires or is declined?
Keeping your billing information current is your responsibility. If a payment cannot be processed your account is suspended and an open invoice is created. When you provide updated payment details and reactivate, any promotional discount previously applied to your account will no longer be valid. Update your card proactively by contacting su*****@*******ns.com.
