This YouTube segment (speaker: Kosta Ouzas) describes the Minotaur trading system, arguing it will generate profit regardless of market cycles or direction because it has no time expiry and no directional bias. Ouzas contrasts Minotaur with put options, noting puts can be useful near market tops but are discretionary and can expire worthless.
The thing about Minotaur is, yes, we have a cycle. We believe there's going to be a cycle that's going to continue. It doesn't matter. Minotaur is going to make money. The system will make money. Whether we have a cycle or not. The market goes up, down, sideways. It's going to keep making money. So what you're getting is you're getting something that has no time expiry. You're having something that has no directional bias either, that can make money when it goes up and it can make money, that goes down and it makes money 24 7. So, again, two different things. A put option is a fantastic thing to do at the top of the cycle. I'll probably buy some put options, but you have to understand it's still a discretionary trade, and you can lose everything you put into it if it doesn't expire in the money.
