If I have 100 calls that go ITM, then I am selling roughly 60-80 puts ATM because that is maximum theta and income collection. I use the income to...
The ITM calls weren't as much nerve-wracking as they were tiresome. I never had any fears or nervousness that I was going to permanently lose the...
I used to track my sharpe ratio but it hasn’t been updated in a couple years so the data would be useless at this stage. It was generally a...
