This weekend I did an analysis of the September option expiration in both our PRO and Premium trading services. The results are enlightening:
PRO Service: Sep 19th Expiration (12 Trades)
No Stops = Average 85% per trade.
Applying a -50% hard stop from entry = Average 104% per trade.
Premium Service: Sep 19th Expiration (17 Trades)
No Stops = Average 64% per trade.
Applying -50% hard stop from entry. = Average 80% per trade.
Sep 19th Option Tables
PRO Service with No Stops
PRO Service With -50% From Entry Hard Stop
Premium Service with No Stops
Premium Service With -50% From Entry Hard Stop
Optional 50% Trailing Stops
We also track a 50% trailing stop based on Best Return once the trade achieves +100% (or close thereto) unrealized returns. This locks in half of the Best Return, no matter what, but also could result in prematurely exiting a trade on what turns out to be only a small retracement, leaving subsequent substantial gains on the table. If using this trailing stop the recommendation is to always hang on to a few contracts, a small position, just in case.
