Re: VZ option performance At the time of the VZ Long signal I noted that: The portfolio will take the trade if it is triggered, ( "a system is a system"), but if you ever were going to pass on a trade, this one would be on that list." My point in this morning's post was not to "beat my chest" on a wining trade, but to illustrate how as little as a 3% move on an underlying stock can result in a significant return, and secondarily how a dynamic stop can lock in a decent profit. On another subject: From August 2016 forward to today, from entry to maximum price the option trades are averaging about +80%. No one gets out at top tick, so what good does a stat like that do? I'm working on it.
