Easy Options Strategy You Can Start Today

Research Done For You

Looking for an easy SPX options strategy you can start trading right away?

In this video, I walk you through one of the simplest strategies from Alpha Crunching — perfect if you’re new to our tools.

This strategy trades on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with a solid 74% win rate over the past few years. It’s called the SPX TTR 1 DTE & 3 DTE Put Credit Spread, and it only takes a few minutes per day to manage.

It uses Alpha Crunching’s Tomorrow’s Triumph Rate (TTR) to decide if a trade is valid for the week. Plus, it only trades if SPX is above the 20-day simple moving average at the time of entry. The trade sells an at-the-money spread expiring the next day, aiming for a $2 credit on a 5-wide spread.

The risk-reward and high win rate have helped this strategy maintain a smooth P&L curve.

After logging in, head over the Trade Ideas tab to see what trades are ready to go this week.
