On July 15, 2026, trader Bram Schottey, together with host Mickeal van Melis, hosted a webinar on the Big Strangle King portfolio. For those who couldn’t attend live, we’ll recap the key topics here.
Big Strangle King is a highly actively managed stock and options portfolio focused on the U.S. market, with daily adjustments. While many of our systems operate in the background according to fixed rules, this is a portfolio that is adjusted daily based on market conditions.
Bram walked viewers through the portfolio’s construction and demonstrated how he selects both stocks and options. The interplay between these two—the underlying stocks and the option positions surrounding them—forms the core of the strategy.
A recurring theme in the webinar was the role of diversification and risk management. Especially with a portfolio that is actively managed on a daily basis, monitoring risk is just as important as seeking returns. Bram explained how he handles this in practice.
Bram also shared his current view of the U.S. market and how that perspective translates into the positions in the portfolio.
Finally, Bram and Mickeal discussed the story behind Systems2follow: how the platform came to be and how investors can follow professional investment systems through their own investment accounts—automatically and with a regulated broker.
