However, if you like to swing trade, you can combine the Envelope Strategy with futures options for a very low risk opportunity to grab large profits. The timing with the Envelope Strategy is usually very accurate, and you can use that ability to take advantage of oversold and overbought conditions while catching fast and often volatile reversals. Time these reversals to your advantage and use low risk options that are close to expiration where you do not have to pay hefty for time and get those options cheaply while buying very close to the money.
If you are familiar with options, you know that options that are “in the money,” move dollar for dollar like an actual futures contract, so you get the best of both worlds. A known entry and limited loss cost, with unlimited profit potential as well. Futures are highly leveraged, so once they start moving in the money, the profits will rack up quickly with an option, just as it does with a regular futures contract.
The key here though is that you do not have all of the unlimited losses to worry about, so you sleep well at night knowing your money is working for you and not against you. Should the unthinkable happen, you know your losses up front, and they are limited and small because you bought an option that had very little time left on it and you purchased it very close to the money as well, so prices do not have to move far before your option is “in the money,” or moving dollar for dollar just like a regular futures contract.
This little known and seldom used strategy gives you unlimited profit potential with a small and limited risk. A safe way to trade futures without the risks that trading full futures contracts carries. Combine that strategy with software that effectively predicts overbought and oversold conditions, and you have a fantastic futures trading strategy.Â
