What is Trading the Post?
Trading the Post is the trading methodology developed by Ron “Ronchero” Friedman. While Trading the Post originally constituted taking long-term positions in LEAPS and subsequently selling short-dated options “against” those positions to collect premium, the arsenal of tools used by Trading the Post members has radically expanded.
Now, Trading the Post is a full-suite of options methodologies selectively applied to match current market conditions. Whether they’re scalping shorts, swinging long, or staking out longer term positions, members pursue:
Optimal risk management
Short-term income generation
Significant potential upside on longer timeframes
Trading the Post’s rules-based structure makes it easy to follow, adaptable to any market environment, and usable with virtually any account size.
Equally important, it can be executed with as little as a few hours of trading time per week.
Yes, it is. Ron has had to rebuild his accounts, starting with $5K. He certainly knows about the limitations of PDT, the patience and discipline required, and which strategies help to grow an account sustainably. Ron is also trading a few small accounts “on the side” to keep fresh with what needs to be done there.
Specifically, Ron teaches iron condors to collect premium, which can be used with small accounts. Each wee how to identify the names, how to set the levels.
