A Complete Daily Research Service for Active Option Traders
Systematic market signals. Expert analysis. Actionable trading recommendations.
The Daily Strategist is McMillan Analysis Corp.'s premium options advisory service, combining proprietary market research with the experience and editorial judgment of Lawrence G. McMillan.
Subscribers receive timely market analysis, specific trading recommendations, ongoing position management and comprehensive model portfolio reporting throughout the trading day.
Three Essential Daily Communications
The redesigned Daily Strategist organizes its research and recommendations into three distinct communications, helping subscribers quickly identify market opportunities and follow recommended trading activity.
01 / Morning Research
McMillan's Morning Signals
Begin the trading day with a systematic overview of market conditions and potential opportunities identified by McMillan's proprietary indicators and analytical systems.
- Broad-market price action, breadth and volatility indicators
- Equity-only put-call ratio buy and sell signals
- Momentum and McMillan Volatility Band signals
- VIX term structure and volatility analysis
- Straddle-buy and naked-put-sale candidates
03 / Trading Recommendations & Portfolio
The McMillan Portfolio Report
The Portfolio Report connects McMillan's market research with specific trading decisions and ongoing position management.
- New trading recommendations with entry instructions and risk parameters
- Follow-up instructions for open positions, adjustments and exits
- Trading stops and position updates
- Current model portfolio holdings organized by strategy
- Model portfolio performance and cumulative profit/loss tracking
Research Signals vs. Trading Recommendations
An important distinction: Securities appearing in McMillan's Morning Signals are systematic research candidates, not necessarily recommendations to establish positions.
Specific actionable recommendations are identified in The McMillan Portfolio Report or subsequent subscriber updates. This separation allows subscribers to evaluate a broad range of opportunities while clearly identifying the trades the advisory is recommending.

Systematic Research. Human Editorial Judgment.
