This thread seems a bit dead. If there is no interest, I can discontinue. Today's update. I rolled positions in AMZN, GOOG, and LOW. This resulted in a "loss" of -$1,229. However, due to the premium sold as part of the roll, today's premium sold was much higher. I sold $3,320 in premium. In...

Sold $1,575 worth of premium and closed some positions to capture $481. 2/3rds of the premium sold today were calls. I have 2 main positions that are in the money. Both of which reach the 7 day mark tomorrow. AAPL and LOW. If I don't get a signal on them tomorrow, I will have to close them for...

Sold another $1,653 in premium today. Closed out a few contracts to lock in $220 in premium from last week. Currently, the most at risk position is 2 short puts on AAPL that has gone ITM. This position was entered last Thursday, so nothing to do yet. If the position is still ITM Thursday...

The 1.6% is if you used the generated signals to buy the shares. I am choosing to use the generated signals to sell options instead.

The 21.5% return is if you BOUGHT and held the underlining for 7 days when the signal was generated. Instead of trading the underlining outright, I am choosing to use the generated signals as part of modified Wheel Strategy.

As part of a public experiment, I will trade a modified version of the Wheel Strategy and document the results here. Strategy parameters: - All entries are based on signals generated at https://unlockingalpha.com/ - Weekly options will be sold, typically between .20 and .35 delta - If a cash...

AXP and MSFT were the two that fired today. Hit profit target on both. Made $209 on MSFT and $106 on AXP. In my rush to get AXP turned on, I accidentally had it set to only do $10k per position instead of $20k per position like the others. For tonight I am training TGT. Haven't decided what I...

Interesting. AAPL,MSFT, and CAT - None of those new strategies triggered today. Perhaps that says something about the anticipated market action today. Working on adding AXP tonight.

Attached are more performance metrics for AAPL

I have started training a new class of daytrading strategies. My previous strategies are largely a "black box". Very little guidance was given to the system as far what type of strategy it could produce. However, this new class of strategies I am training around a "base concept" Base Strategy...

By garbage in = garbage out - I was referring to what inputs you use to train your strategies. If your inputs are bad (i.e. not predictive) then your output will always be garbage as well.

Results for May: Swing trades: +$68,902 Day trades: +$139,197 Overall fantastic results from both systems. Hands down, the best month yet. Hopefully this volatility sticks around for a while. Given the success I have seen over the past few months in the day trading strategies, I spent most of...

No, a losing month in the day trading strategy is actually very rare. Less than 5 instances over the past 18 years. However, it does have a lot of months when it doesn't make very much due to the trading range being small.

Unfortunately, not sure the thread is providing any value for myself or anyone else... so lost interest. If anyone is interested in how the bot is still doing, here is a monthly breakdown including April Futures Swing Live Results: 2022-04-01 $-42,330 2022-03-01 $94,070.00 2022-02-01...

Last week: Swing trades: -$1,481 Day trades; -$3,314 AAPL options: +$1,191 SBUX options: -$78 Last week was pretty lackluster.

Was waiting until the week ended. Here are the results for this week: Swing Trading Strategy: +$48,257 closed PL Swing Trading Strategy (Unrealized PL): +$4,717 Day Trading Strategy: -$1,284 AAPL Daytrading Strategy: -$557 Obviously the swing trading strategy had a huge week. Closed a lot of...

Did you run the system live and/or do you still run that system live? If not, why did you choose to not run it?

The loss in January most closely resembles a loss from march of 2005 as far as size. Overall, the swing trading strategy has had 5 losing months. It's worth noting that I only look at the closed/realized trades when looking at a loss in January. Late January saw a lot of positions opened that...

I mentioned a few posts back that I didn't see the value in continuing to post live trades to Twitter. However, I am open to resuming if there is enough value for both the community and myself. I just need someone to articulate a purpose to the live trades being posted...
