How is RadioActive Trading different from covered calls?

Unlike covered calls which cap your upside and leave you exposed to large downside losses, RadioActive Trading's married put approach limits your downside to a known amount while keeping your upside open to unlimited gains. This solves the covered call problem of winners being called away while losers remain in your portfolio.

What is The Blueprint?

The Blueprint is RadioActive Trading's comprehensive options education course covering the married put methodology, RadioActive Profit Machine strategies, and multiple income-generating methods that can be applied to reduce risk and increase returns.

Limit Your Downside Risk. Keep Unlimited Upside Potential.

Q: What is a RadioActive Profit Machine (RPM)?

A RadioActive Profit Machine (RPM) is a married put position where you buy stock and simultaneously buy a protective put option. This limits your maximum loss to a predetermined amount while leaving your upside profit potential unlimited. Income methods can then be applied to reduce cost basis further.

Covered calls and calendar calls have always had the same problem: they sort the winning stocks out of your portfolio and leave you holding the losers — often down 20%, 30%, even 40%. That’s where RadioActive Trading comes in.

Our married put methodology shows you how to protect your downside with whatever amount of risk makes you comfortable, while leaving your upside open to unlimited profit potential. Since 1997, we’ve helped investors take control of risk from the very first trade.

What Is a RadioActive Profit Machine (RPM)?

A RadioActive Profit Machine is a position built using a married put strategy: you buy shares of stock and simultaneously buy a protective put option. This creates a position where your maximum possible loss is known and limited from the start, but your upside profit potential remains unlimited.

Once the RPM is established, you can apply income methods — proprietary adjustments taught in The Blueprint — to reduce your cost basis, often bringing your total risk to single digits or even below zero. This is what makes the approach “RadioActive”: a position that generates income while staying protected.

Why Investors Choose RadioActive Trading Over Covered Calls

Traditional covered call strategies cap your gains while leaving you exposed to significant losses. When the market drops, covered call writers keep small premiums but suffer large drawdowns on their stock holdings. RadioActive Trading solves this with a fundamentally different approach:

•	Known maximum risk — Your worst-case loss is defined before you enter the trade
•	Unlimited upside — No cap on profits; winners stay in your portfolio
•	Income methods — Reduce cost basis over time, often to single-digit or negative risk
•	Published track records — Real trades with verified results, not hypothetical backtests
•	Education since 1997 — Over 25 years teaching investors to manage risk first

Title:	8th Standard Options Expiration Open Forum - Q&A for 2026!
When:	Aug 21 @ 4:30:00 PM Eastern
Price:	FREE!

"I have been trading stocks for over ten years and have seriously traded options for five years. During this time I have read maybe fifty books on stocks and options trading and taken more than seven classes on advanced options trading. This background has made me hesitant to spend additional money on education. I made an exception by recently purchasing The Blueprint. The Blueprint vastly exceeded my expectations. It is very well written and describes a complete trading system that maximizes safety while simultaneously providing a framework for open-ended profit opportunities. I was previously aware of many of these techniques. Even so, I greatly benefited from the clear explanations and insightful background provided by this excellent material which corrected many things that I had overlooked or failed to appreciate adequately and put them together into a coherent trading system. The system described by The Blueprint is a very powerful approach to safely make money in the market. I learned many valued insights even in the introductory material. I am so grateful for the high value of The Blueprint that I am writing this unsolicited email to sincerely thank the authors for producing such an outstanding course. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in trading stocks and options within a medium term (weeks or months) or long term (years) time horizon."
