Yes, just from selling options. Mostly CL, KC, (GC no longer). Keep in mind I only have a tiny account.
I read Cordiers book a few years ago. My methods are pretty similar to Ron's only they have been probably a little more aggressive. Still around $30 min. from strike.I would often buy to close once I got a decent ROI instead of waiting to expiration.
When I have a larger account like Ron, I will be less aggressive and let them all run to expiration.
You must be doing something right! Could you give an example or 2 of recent trades? I'm very curious, because even if I allowed $0 excess margin, and was fully margined at all times, I could not get near 300%.
With the 2x excess Ron suggests, I usually find options of 2-4% monthly ROI. You must be find some much better ones!
Thanks for sharing. It is too bad you had to liquidate those CLXs. I still can't figure how those help you get 300% (even with no excess, monthly ROI was approx 15%, or 180% per year).
But keep doing what you are doing (other than the concentration margin call, of course)...
Exactly!
I asked Robert Pandy that question and he said no, but I could call him if I wanted to check.
I asked if there was a button on the screen to estimate, his answer was no and he did not know why either.
Is it time to look for a new broker??
Eudamonia, if you are not aware, using the Zaner 360 like myself, you can use the 'iBroker' App for mobility. I have used it lightly when on the move on iPad before it's pretty good. iBroker is the OEC mobile App available to DeCarley clients, their is an additional small fee for executing on it.
I am new to this forum and to this thread, so haven't read much in it now. As the thread title says: Selling options on futures, that sounds fine and interesting. Doe's the thread show some where or explain different systems on the given subject in a manner like far away from expiry selling or short time selling or selling on events? If so, then I have to read the whole thread and if not, what about those mentioned subjects?
