I don't know the true answer. However, to me it makes intuitive sense that longer-dated contracts would be more expensive because you have to pay...
Now you're getting at the reason I started this thread. Is there a best way to handle this? For starters, what about selling one contract every...
What do you mean by position sizing?
We're getting off-topic here. I specifically wanted discussion here about the system development methodology. Please go back to my last post. I...
Consider this more of an academic exercise about trading system development than anything else for now. If the results look good then I'll think...
I want to backtest naked puts. First I want to gather trade statistics to see if it seems viable for me. In this phase I do not want to apply...

Here's another point that has probably been debated ad nauseum: closing the position is a great suggestion in retrospect. If I were just to...
I agree that edge has something to do with it... especially when it comes to discretionary trading (the "edge" might be short-lived and/or...

Do the return calculations seem legit? If she starts out with 50% allocation and only increases when she starts considering Mexico as a lifetime...
Back on p.1 of this thread, Pekelo recounted her claim to have made 50% in 2008. How does that sound?
I think you make some solid points, Jeff. Simplicity may be the key (although I would question what happens when the system stops working, as...
See my previous post in response to unclebond555. You don't know if her alleged returns are authentic. You also don't know Tom Sosnoff's net...
I totally agree. It's a great story. It's like "porn for traders." Most of us (including myself) could only dream of making $105M selling naked...
Down to earth or downright ignorant? My weakest reason for suspecting the whole story is just because she hardly seems fluent in her...
Don't give yourself too much credit, unclebond555. The only way you will ever know that returns aren't fake is by scrutinizing authentic...
