The MARA Strategy - Playing Both Sides Smart Instead of gambling on the election outcome, we used what I call a "heads I win, tails I win" approach: The Strangle Setup - Perfect for Election Uncertainty - Bought put options at $17.50 strike (protection against stricter regulation)
- Bought put options at $19.50 strike (upside for crypto-friendly policies)
- Total cost: $3.90 - that's your maximum risk
How The Trade Actually Played Out - Pre-Election: MARA dropped to $16.50 (remember those puts? They paid off)
- Post-Election: Crypto exploded after Trump was announced the winner and MARA rocketed to $26.
- Key Move: We sold puts during the pre-election dip, reducing our cost to $1.69
This is crucial - by taking profits on the puts, we essentially got our call options nearly free. That's how you play both sides of uncertainty. Real Results From Real Members The other day on our Catalyst Cashouts Live Call, I asked members how they did with the MARA trade. These aren't hypothetical gains - these are real traders booking real profits: Massive Triple-Digit Winners - Hirschy crushed it with a stunning +227.52% gain
- John StL locked in an incredible 260% total return
- tjlub and BruceR both smashed through 110% profits
- LoriU secured a solid 89% win
Not too shabby for a trade that lasted less than a week. While Bitcoin traders needed tens of thousands of dollars just to participate, our members controlled similar exposure for just $1.20 to $3 per contract. That's the beauty of strategic options positioning - massive return potential without the massive capital requirement. YOUR ACTION PLANWhen major catalysts approach the markets, they create predictable uncertainty. Smart traders don't try to predict outcomes - they position themselves to profit from the inevitable volatility. Think about it: We didn't need to know the exact outcome. We just needed to understand that crypto would make a big move either way. That's why our strangle strategy was perfect - we were ready for either direction. But here's what really separated this trade from just another win: risk management. By taking partial profits on our puts before the big move, we slashed our cost basis. This wasn't just good trading - it was smart money management that turned a solid trade into a massive winner. Looking ahead, you can apply these same principles to any major market catalyst. Whether it's Fed decisions, earnings announcements, or economic reports - these binary events create the same type of trading opportunities. The key is preparation, not prediction. Your success template is straightforward: Spot these market-moving catalysts early, structure your trades to profit from movement in either direction, and always - always - have your exit strategy planned before you enter.
