Abstract
The installment strategy relies on awareness of proximity. This refers to moneyness of the options, price to resistance or support and reversal signal to the trading range. Without proximity, any trade is merely guesswork. With proximity, selection and timing are vastly improved and the level of trading success will improve well beyond the random outcomes that many traders experience.
