The month of August has so far generated 17 option trades. Of those, 9 have reached triple digit returns, 12 have reached 75% returns and 13 have reached 50% returns. Can it be the system is finally getting on track to match its impressive back testing? If so, these are the kinds of results that should be expected going forward. In addition, there seems to be a common characteristic to the trades not reaching the 50% threshold, one that can be used as a filter reducing the number of trades per month to a more manageable 10-12. Also note that there are two SPY positions and one DIA position in the open trades. These are 3 different trades triggered by slightly different patterns and on different dates. All of these should be considered stand alone trades with an equal likelihood of reaching the profit targets, including the rare occurrence when both a Buy and Sell is triggered on the same stock. Again, each side as an equal shot at the staggered profit targets.
