About this strategy

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended not to copy existing open trades. Start from zero, as positions and option rotations may change almost every day.

IMPORTANT - PART 2: One options contract typically represents 100 shares. If you subscribe to the strategy, please make sure to use scaling only in multiples of 100%, such as 100%, 200%, 300%, etc. Do not use 50%, 150%, 250%, or other scaling based on 50% increments, as this may create mismatches between the options positions and the underlying shares.

Orange Cat Management is a calm, weekly options strategy built around patience, discipline, and letting good setups come to us.
The name comes from my orange cat, Renato. He is relaxed, rarely in a hurry, and always seems to know when it is better to wait. That is pretty much the philosophy behind the strategy.
The core approach is based on Cash Secured Puts and Covered Calls, with occasional Futures trades when the setup makes sense. The goal is not to trade every day or chase every market move, but to manage positions consistently and keep the process simple.
This is a strategy for investors who prefer a steady, low-drama approach to the markets.
No need to chase the mouse every day.

Stay patient. Stay disciplined. Trade like Renato.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
