1. i have gotten quite a number over this past few month now using the self developed strategy of Mr Endres i have been winning big this video show`s nonsense this is misleading you to your doom if you are interested in him contact him via email endrescarmine@gmail. Com
2. I wonder how the numbers would play out if these were long puts/ calls in place of short calls /puts
3. I agree with selling puts in a down market when vol explodes.  That is a smart trade.  However, selling naked calls in a bull market when vol is low is retarded.  You are getting paid peanuts and tying up tons of capital.  Holding the underlying in a bull market is VASTLY superior.  You failed to compare how merely going long SPY would have compared to selling naked calls.  And the reason you did this is because your call selling strategy would look laughably bad in comparison.  So, please be more responsible next time.  I applaud your little studies but you MUST compare them to the alternatives for them to have any meaning.  Also, you really need to analyze LONG periods for these studies to hold water.  10 years at least.
4. Interesting stuff
5. You have identified how far out you will strike to take a contrarian position. However, you have not elaborated as to how many months out did you sell the option. In case the market continues to power against the sold option, what adjustments do you suggest?
6. Whatever happened to riding the winner?!?!
