Rules-Based Options Trading Alerts - Trade Smarter with Maya

Maya is a rules-based trading system with clearly defined entry and exit criteria. In this video, Nishant explains the logic Maya uses to identify trades:

Maya follows a structured, rules-driven trade management flowchart to determine exits. Here's what it looks like:

Maya exclusively trades at-the-money bull call spreads. Maya's goal is to grow its account aggressively, and at-the-money bull call spreads can return up to 100% ROI per winning trade — while the maximum loss on a losing trade is the full premium paid. This aligns perfectly with our trading goal. In contrast, credit spreads offer only a 1:3 reward-to-risk ratio, which is not suitable for aggressive account growth.

Maya does not trade bearish strategies like Bear Put Spreads. Our extensive backtests reveal that bearish strategies negatively affect our win rate over the long run. Instead, Maya limits downside through its aggressive trade management rules, which has proven to be far more effective than deploying bearish trading strategies.

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription anytime through your account dashboard. There are no long-term commitments.

Yes, you absolutely can! If you're starting with a smaller account (around $1,000), you'll want to stick exclusively to $1 wide debit spreads. These spreads risk only $50 per trade, which is appropriate for a $1,000 account size.

Maya trades a mix of both $1 wide and $5 wide spreads. To accommodate your account size, simply use the Trade Scanner and filter for only $1 wide spreads that match your risk tolerance.

This approach ensures you can follow Maya's strategy while maintaining proper risk management for your account size.

Understanding why traders use credit spreads helps explain Maya's approach. Theoretically, debit spreads have a 50% chance of winning — essentially a coin flip based on option probabilities. Maya changes those probabilities by trading market extremes and using technical analysis.

With credit spreads, the most common method is selling OTM (out-of-the-money) spreads that have a 70% chance of winning. The problem? Consider the trader buying that spread from you — why would they take a trade with only a 30% chance of winning? Because they have a lucrative reward if they win. While you have a 70% chance of winning, you make small amounts on every win. You're risking $3 to make $1.

Credit spreads make money on time decay, so the recommended timeframe is 45-60 days to expiration. Shorter timeframes create horrible risk/reward scenarios. With a 70% win rate, just 3 bad trades wipe out the profits from 7 winning trades.

Maya's approach with debit spreads offers a cleaner risk profile: you know exactly what you can lose upfront, and by trading market extremes with technical analysis, Maya tilts the odds in your favor beyond the theoretical 50%.

No, Maya is not daytrading. Daytrading involves opening and closing positions within the same trading day, often making dozens of trades daily. Maya's approach is fundamentally different.

We believe daytrading is a high-stress activity where shorter timeframes approach gambling-like situations. The noise in minute-by-minute price action makes it nearly impossible to have a true edge.

Maya trades swing-style options positions that are typically held for 30 to 40 days. We're not trying to capture small intraday moves — instead, we wait for high-conviction setups and let the trade develop over multiple weeks.

Our trade setups are based on 9-month daily charts and grounded in deep, well-established technical analysis principles. This longer-term perspective helps identify stronger, more reliable trading opportunities.

This swing trading approach means you can follow Maya's alerts even if you have a full-time job. You'll receive entry and exit alerts via email and SMS, giving you time to execute without being glued to your screen.

Maya Autotrading lets you have Maya's trade signals automatically executed in your own brokerage account — no manual entry required.

Maya publishes trade signals based on trades placed in Maya's own account. These signals are delivered through our execution partner, PeakBot. When you sign up for autotrading, you create a PeakBot account and explicitly authorize PeakBot to execute Maya's published signals in your connected brokerage. Both entry and exit signals are published by Maya in real time as it trades its own account — the same signals, broadcast to all subscribers.

Maya is a signal publisher, not a registered investment adviser. Maya does not manage your account, hold your funds, or provide personalized investment advice. All trade execution is handled independently by PeakBot and your chosen broker. You may disable autotrading at any time. Options trading involves substantial risk of loss.
