Mallard Avenue's Private Trading Strategy

Mallard Avenue’s Private Option Strategy is not just another trading guide—it’s a proven, tactical framework designed for traders who want to generate consistent, short-term capital growth with capital preservation, all while removing the stress of predicting market direction. Built around a repeatable, risk-conscious options approach using public market tools, this blueprint empowers you to profit from volatility—no matter the market condition: bull, bear, or neutral.

Whether you’re a beginner with some knowledge aiming to make your first trades, an intermediate trader looking to scale your approach, or an active trader seeking a systematic, low-guesswork framework, this strategy shows you how to capture gains daily, weekly, and monthly by trading covered calls and puts simultaneously—capitalizing on price movement without needing to guess which way it will go.

For years, Mallard Avenue’s Private Investment Club has refined and stress-tested these tactical options strategies in live markets, giving members an edge usually reserved for professional traders. This guide distills that expertise into a clear, actionable playbook you can apply regardless of portfolio size or experience level.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Trade both calls and puts simultaneously: Master the art of buying covered calls and puts at equal cost and strike distance to take advantage of volatility in any direction.
• Focus on volatility, not price direction: Understand why the key to consistent profits is capturing movement, not guessing if the stock will go up or down.
• Manage risk with defined limits: Learn to control drawdowns by risking no more than 5% of your account on any trade, preserving capital while aiming for outsized returns.
• Use liquid, high-volume ETFs like SPY, QQQ, and IWM: Gain practical knowledge on executing this strategy on broad market ETFs suitable for all account sizes.
• Identify breakout opportunities: Discover how to spot and trade after periods of consolidation and liquidity sweeps to maximize potential gains.
• Apply the strategy across cash and margin accounts: Ensure flexibility in how you deploy capital based on your individual trading preferences.
• Build a repeatable daily, weekly, and monthly growth routine: Create a trading rhythm that targets steady capital gains rather than sporadic wins.
• Leverage risk/reward math to your advantage: Understand the asymmetric profit potential—how closing just one leg for a 100% gain can secure break-even or better overall trades.
• Adapt the strategy to your risk tolerance: Customize position sizing and exposure so the approach fits your personal comfort level and goals.
• Avoid the common pitfalls that cause traders to lose: Benefit from a tested framework designed to minimize guesswork, emotional trading, and overexposure.
• Scale your trading over time: Learn how to grow your options portfolio systematically while preserving capital and managing stress.
• Take control of your trading without relying on guesswork: Transition from speculation to a disciplined, rule-based strategy with clear execution steps.

This isn’t theory—it’s a practical, tactical blueprint shaped by real market experience, designed for anyone ready to harness volatility without betting on direction. With clear models, strategic insights, and a focus on repeatable execution, the Mallard Avenue Private Options Strategy equips you to generate consistent short-term growth while protecting your capital.
