About this strategy











This system is based on riding the momentum of the underlying stock or index up or down in the short term. I primarily trade options on stocks that are above $70 so it is easier to take advantage of a short term move as stocks of higher value will make $1 to $4 moves in a short 1 to 10 day period because 3% move on a $100 stock is $3 which can move an option 10% to 20% but a 3% move on a $25 stock is only $ .75 which has a much less affect on the change in the value of an option. I generally put 10% to 20% into any one position so as to spread the risk out. Trading options can be very risky and when trading this system you should expect to see some very large drops in the value of the position from time to time but as my track record shows even when the value of a position drops over 50% if the system still shows the trade is good it almost always recovers to produce a profit. If you can not afford to lose the investment then you should not be investing in options as they are very risky with expirations on the position. But if you are looking for a better return than just buying stocks then options can make you a small or large fortune if done right. I will reduce the size of the portfolio to $50,000 whenever it gets above $100,000 so as to make it easier to trade and make use of the entire portfolio. I expect to have from 1 to 3 trades going at any one time. July 15th: I will also be day trading the QQQQ's options with 50-80% of the portfolio's available funds on a regular basis. So make sure you are prepared to have your account bacome a pattern daytrading account if you do more than 3 day trades in 5 business days.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
