Trade Performance Statistics as of June 30, 2021

by | Jun 30, 2021 | Covered Calls, Performance

Let me preface my trading stats for covered call and naked put trades by pointing out that I have been the beneficiary of a strong US equity market since I began posting my trades earlier this year. I am pleased with median annualized returns of 37.4% and 19.5% for my covered call trades and naked put trades respectively.

Could I have achieved better trade results? Given that the equity market has performed so well since I started posting my trades, I could have generated higher covered call returns by selecting strike prices that were a little further out of the money and that is exactly what I have been doing lately. As for the naked put trades, I am comfortable with the strike prices I selected and haven’t made any changes to my strategy.

I have recently added a layer of machine learning analysis to my strategies that I expect to slightly improve my trade performance. We shall see.

Publishing personal trade stats for all to see is easy when the wind is at your back (i.e. the equity market rises). I know full well that the day will come when it will be difficult to click the “Publish” button and present my trade stats after a difficult trading period.

 

All the best.
