Trade History

In the table below, the percent growth figure does not represent a compounded rate of return; it is a summary return. We do not calculate compounded rates of return simply because we do not encourage continual reinvestment of gains back into options. Options are risky and such a decision is completely in the hands of each individual investor and his/her needs and risk tolerance.

Also, the percent growth figure in the table below is based on the premium received for selling options short. It is recommended to contact your broker about margin requirements on uncovered options trading before using any information on this web site.

The key to the following table is not that every trade was profitable, but that on the whole there were more profitable trades than negative ones.

How results are calculated:

• The trade entry price is based on the actual market price of an option at the moment it trades at or above the "Suggested Entry" price. In situations where the market opens significantly above its previous closing price, the trade entry price might be substantially higher than the "Suggested Entry" price.
• The exit to cash price is based on the actual market price of the option at the moment it trades at or below the "Suggested Exit" price. Should the market open much lower than its previous closing price, the trade exit price might be substantially below the "Suggested Exit" price.
• The results shown in the table do not include brokerage commissions, taxes, or interest earned on cash positions.
• The return results represented on the web site are based on the premium received for the selling options short and do not reflect margin. Use our "Trade Calculator" to recalculate our past performance in relation to the margin requirements, brokerage commissions and other trading related expenses.
• The calculated returns do not account for capital that is tied up as collateral, as mandated by brokers for naked options trading. However, most brokerage companies will allow investors to invest this capital in other trading vehicles - returns may not have to be kept in cash.
