  1. Wait a minute.That doesn't look like a Karen the Supertrader portfolio? Can anyone identify the secret formula?

  3. The account is up 7.37% for the year and is on track to generate 51.06% over the next 52 weeks. 96.3% of our trades were successful. I have added trades in wheat, corn, soybeans, 10 year treasury notes, and the British pound. I now have a well diversified portfolio with oil, bonds, Euros, gold, and natural gas. I manage risk by sizing the positions correctly and not overly utilizing buying power plus I actively manage the Greeks. I also monitor the portfolio as if all positions tanked to a 2x loss. This is one of those Karen type things where she pretends that the account has dropped. Happy trading all!

    Are you net selling or buying vol/options in these other markets?

  5. I’m a seller first and then I buy back to close.

    I looked at these earlier this week and thought the vols were cheap compared to historical vol. Did you sell just for diversification?

  7. When do you buy back Sweet Bobby? Are you using some claer cut formula or metric or really just trading these things on your experience? Thanks.

  8. I have 3 exit criteria - 50% profit, 2x loss, or 1/2 DTE, whichever comes first.

  9. Thanks Bobby. Sorry for the rookie question, but what is DTE? What criteria do you use to determine on what you sell options? Thanks!

    I can tell with what you primarily focus on that you’re in for some hurt, Bobby.
