At Hi-Tech Futures, Inc. we specialize in the potentially rewarding, yet often under-utilized area of option selling. While the true potential of options selling is not commonly leveraged by novice investors, a trader with the proper discipline and guidance from an experienced broker, such as the brokers at Hi-Tech Futures, can find option selling to be a rewarding strategy.

According to the CBOE, about 30% of all options expire worthless. However, this number does not take into account the number of options that expire without earning the trader a profit. If one were to consider an option that expires without profit to be a worthless option, then the number of options that expire worthless by most accounts approaches 80%.

But what does that mean to the average trader? Well, if 80% of options expire worthless, isn't selling options an alternative strategy to buying options that is worth considering? Or maybe you agree, but you are still left thinking, "I don't have that much experience in the area and option selling strategies are too complex and too risky for me". If so, you are probably correct in your feeling that way — that is why, as a serious trader, you need a broker who understands the complexity and the risks of options selling.

While option selling strategies are commonly leveraged by the professional futures and commodities investor, the average trader seldom takes advantage of the benefits offer by option writing — option selling is typically not a strategy for the uninitiated. This goes to further underscore the need for broker with expertise in navigating the complexities and the risks of options selling. And beyond that, you need a broker with the patience and the willingness to help you understand those complexities and risks yourself before you start trading. We are that broker, and we are eager to prove it to you.
