Achieving Consistent Profitability - An Insane Week of Harvest In Review
This past week we’ve had such great harvest with advanced options strategies.
These are some of our biggest winners, such as:
- $BITO, from $.24 to $1.05, or +337% return on cost.
- $UPS, from $.05 to $.68, or +1260% return on cost.
- $SNAP, from $.05 to $.50, or +900% return on cost.
- $TWTR, from $.03 to $.33, or +1000% return on cost.
But beyond this past week, we want to show you how consistently profitable we are, on a larger timeframe, in all of 2022, a very tricky year.
First, if you've watched our previous videos, you know by now that we are big believers of buy low, sell high, and the trades shown above are the epitome of our philosophy.
And as you know by now how much we emphasize knowledge of spreads, important because they let us trade in a way that allows us to control size (a critical quantifier in every one of our trade alerts), such that we can progressively harvest winners as they run.
If we combine these two concepts, what does our equity curve end up looking like over a longer period of time?
Well, it looks something like this:
Shown above is the plot of our equity curve, or harvest over time, for all of our official Premium Tier trade alerts this year. This includes:
- Every opening trade alert
- Every adjustment alert, and
- Every closing trade alert
Every transaction is all plotted in the graph above. If the transaction cost a debit (typically opening trades or adjustments), the chart paints a downtick, and if a transaction receives a credit (typically adjustments/exits orders), the chart paints an uptick.
Note the overall trajectory - steady up and to the right. Small dips exist here and there, but in general, the trend is up and to the right, and that's simply a result of our ability to stay true to our strategies and our trading philosophy - our philosophy of buy low, sell high, small losers, big winners - that naturally and ultimately result in a chart that clearly illustrates what all traders desire: positive expectancy.
This is a beautiful outcome for those who love steady gains for the long run. Nevermind all of the noise out there with the 100 to 1M full port challenges, etc. We are talking about steady account growth for those who are serious. Real traders who want to treat trading as a business to produce income in the long run.
We know many traders have been struggling this year, as we continue to see them trying to figure it out on their own, following a new FURU here and there, buying a new analytics or charting tool, adding flashy indicators, etc. Many of you can relate, and we understand your pain, as our veteran traders have gone through the same process over 10 years ago; however, if you have been paying attention to our previous posts and videos, you know that these tools and indicators are just a waste of time because they only optimize, at best, 5% of the equation to success. These tools will only get you 5% of the way to your destination. The other 95% is what we know that no one else talks about.
So not only do we want to show you what that is, but also we want to help you shortcut the process to discovering that 95%, because we know that your time is valuable.
If you would like to keep rearranging chairs on the Titanic, by all means, carry on as you were - we would understand. But just know that, whenever you are ready, the lifeboat that we're on, it is waiting for you. All you have to do is first recognize that you're on the Titanic, and second, do something about it. Once again, you know where to find us - we will see you on the other side.
