I see a table you posted as a(back ratio) of -2 contracts and +3 cntrs. ,if it is a real positions ,then I see a kid's menu,if it is 8-10 contrs, then it makes more sense. so I assumed that your spreadsheets are a reflection of a real trades. and profits are tiny,but the losses are also very small,everething in proportions.
That is exactly what I wanted to know, otherwise it looks like a nice hobby. I personally do 15-20 contracts per vertical on a 7-14 DTE,and have a real heat, but reward is also substantial,so it was my bad comment seeing -2 cotrs on a mothly basis assuming that is no multiples to add.
Today Aug 23 I sold ESz7p1920(2)p1680(3) for 4.45. IM is 439. DTE is 115.
I debated about selling Nov (87 DTE) or Dec. Went with Dec for higher premium and possibly higher ROI (4.0% vs 2.8%). Probably will have slower premium erosion because of higher DTE but selling at lower strike. Don't know if Dec slower premium erosion will lower ROI to lower than Nov. I doubt it. I'll track it.
"ES" is E-Mini S&P 500 contract
"z" for the month. In this case December
"7" is the last digit of the year.
"p" is for put.
"1920" is the strike of the option. I list the short option first.
"(2)" is the quantity of that strike.
"1680" is the strike of the long option.
"(3)" is the quantity of that strike.
I'm not. It sounds like GOP is mostly in favor. I doubt they want shutting down government to go along with other things currently happening on their resume for the next elections.
