Pretty sure @sle put the 30% out there for illustration purposes. I would love to see audited numbers of a retail trader trading +$ 1MM Capacity running 30 % ROI for a full market cycle.

Wrong..the equites market are not zero sum. Just like RE..If your house drops in value some one did not profit. And no, the guy who sold it did not profit. RE or equities. Commod and some futures are different.

Because 49.75 is better. But don't sweat it, RH's entire business model is based on the ignorance of your above statement.

NO ! You still aren't getting it, although the methodology has been explained to you in detail on other threads. If you were entitled to a better execution (even on a limit order) and you didn't receive it you got screwed.

"I'm sure the account accounts are insured"...do you have a link/documentation on this statement ? RH is not a bank so it is not FDIC insured. SPIC is for brokerage account holding not checking/savings accounts. So unless they have somehow categorized these as brokerage holdings they will...

Where it could get interesting is if the Dems DO NOT flip Congress as expected, and Rep hold Senate as expected. So Rep continue to hold both sides....more Trump stimulus in 2019 equals higher rates. note/fwiw: view per CIO of major BD

got it. but an additional question....using a back test what value is given the option ? the close on expiry day ? if so couldn't that be a little misleading ?

….and has this matched your actual returns.

right, are you exercising or selling..guess it doesn't matter for this discussion.

Daytrading ITM SPY options is very tough from a slippage stand point (besides the other obvious difficulties). You'ld be better off getting comfortable with futures.

how did you monetize the long call ?

if you don't mind...what is your expectancy after all that ?

who calculated the "30% loss in profit ? let me guess...you ? let me take another guess...you used the most optimum fills on both sides of the hypothetical trade in calculating such lost opportunity ? this point is only one of many weak spots in your whole story...good luck anyway, you will...
