See how high-probability trades can turn market dips into steady gains — LIVE at 11 a.m. ET. Unlocking Profit Traps: A High-Probability Strategy for Consistent Income Trading options is all about stacking the odds in your favor. One of the most effective ways to do that — especially in a volatile market — is by using profit traps.   Before this next sentence, don’t let jargon scare you away. We’re just covering two simple spreads that you put on at once, and anyone who takes a little time can learn it.  This strategy combines a bear put debit spread with a wider credit spread, allowing traders to collect premium while keeping risk defined. How Profit Traps Work A profit trap works by setting up two simultaneous trades:   1. A bear put debit spread — A directional trade that profits when the underlying asset moves lower. 2. A wider bull put credit spread — A high-probability trade that generates income if the stock stays above a certain level. The key is selecting strikes that create a "trap" between the two spreads. If the stock falls into this zone by expiration, both trades can close profitably. For example, let’s say you're trading the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) at $596. You could set up a profit trap by:   • Buying the 555 put and selling the 554 put (a bear put spread). • Selling the 540 put and buying the 510 put (a bull put spread). If SPY finishes below 554 by expiration, the bear put spread reaches full profit. But if it stays above 540, you also keep the premium collected from the bull put spread.  The result? A maximum gain of nearly $2 per share with a 95% probability of profit. Why This Strategy Works Profit traps are effective because they allow traders to:   • Generate consistent income — Even if the market doesn’t move as expected, the credit spread still produces gains.   • Manage risk effectively — Unlike naked options, both sides of the trade are hedged, limiting potential losses.   • Take advantage of high-probability setups — These trades typically have a 90%-plus chance of success when structured correctly. One caveat is the risk of assignment if the stock closes below the credit spread’s short strike. But with careful trade selection, assignment risk remains low. For example, the SPY trade above would require over a 9% sell-off in 50 days before assignment becomes a concern. This strategy is a game changer for traders looking to improve consistency.  It provides a way to capitalize on market movement while keeping capital requirements manageable. The key is structuring trades with wide enough spreads to create a meaningful profit trap — but not so wide that risk outweighs reward. For traders seeking a reliable way to generate income, profit traps are worth exploring. They provide a unique blend of probability, risk management, and return potential — exactly what you want when navigating today’s market. If you’re looking for a way to generate consistent income with defined risk, profit traps are just the beginning.  I have a strategy I’m revealing at 11 a.m. today, Feb. 28, that takes this concept further, using high-probability options trades to capitalize on market movement while keeping risk in check.  Whether you're trading a small account or managing a larger portfolio, this approach offers a structured way to take advantage of market dips and reversals.  Feel free to join me here at 11 o’clock!
