The stock market isn’t always moving clearly up or down. Sometimes, it just moves sideways—choppy, indecisive, yellow-light territory.

That’s exactly when Mark Yegge’s Juice Lever strategy shines.

In this insightful session, Mark breaks down a powerful delta-neutral options approach that generates cash flow while protecting both sides of your portfolio. Whether the market nudges up, drops slightly, or stays flat, this strategy can help you stay in the green.

Let’s dive into the key takeaways from this webinar preview.

What Is the Juice Lever Strategy?

The Juice Lever is a non-directional options strategy that combines:

  • A deep in-the-money long call
  • A deep in-the-money long put
  • A short-term short call
  • A short-term short put

This creates a visual risk profile that looks like a volcano or a flat-top pyramid using tools like OptionStrat.

The goal?
Keep the stock price inside the “profit zone” (the flat top) where you earn maximum premium.

Why It Works in Sideways or Yellow Markets

Most investors only make money when stocks go up. But Juice Lever users can make money when:

  • The stock stays in a tight range
  • The stock rises modestly
  • The stock drops slightly

Mark describes this strategy as perfect for a yellow-light market, where it's unclear if you should press forward or pump the brakes.

"You're not trying to predict. You're trying to protect—and collect."
