Introduction to the 45 plus DTE income strategy for smaller accounts using MES futures

In this podcast episode, the host discusses the implementation of the 45 plus DTE income strategy for smaller accounts using MES or micro ES futures. The host acknowledges that previous strategies were designed for larger accounts with portfolio margin, but with the introduction of micro ES futures, there is potential for smaller accounts to take advantage of capital efficiency. The MES futures are one-tenth the size of ES futures and have a multiplier of five, making them capital efficient. The host highlights the relatively low fees for trading MES futures and emphasizes the importance of pushing the DTE to 60 days to achieve optimal results.
