The 10% Quant System | Selling Credit Spreads Strategy

In this short article, I am going to show the performance of the strategies I teach then give you the exact steps to trade them too! This way I can prove to you that it works before I show you how to implement the strategies. I will be highlighting the trade alerts on $SPY and $TLT.

These charts show the performance following my five strategies. This is the historical growth of a $2,000 portfolio where you put 5% of your account into each trade. Overall, you have 95% win rate on $SPY and a 90% win rate on $TLT.

The chart highlights the insane growth you can experience when you reinvest your profits using a high probability trading strategy. However, you can also notice very sharp and large drawdowns on the chart. When you lose, you lose big. That’s how credit spreads work. When you have multiple losses in a row, it can be hard to handle, so ensure you are up for the challenge of handling the downside.

If you want to turn $2,000 into $275,000 trading SPY or $100,000 trading TLT, then take note of the strategies that I am going to share below!
