Karen the Supertrader - TastyTrade Hybrid Experiment

[Sweet Bobby]

This is a test of a strategy combining what we know of Karen the Supertrader's strategy combined with some of the research from TastyTrade. Will it be profitable? Time will tell. I started this experiment on April 5, 2016. Here is a link to my spreadsheet where you can follow along.


Thus far the account is up $2,034 on a $150,000 account. This should be interesting.

...So in about six weeks you made 3% , or an average of .10%/day
Easier said than done in the long run, and most people fail... but I would hardly call that a SuperTrader.

Karen the "supertrader"

Why not attached the youtube clip where she says she almost blew her account during the flash crash.

2 things you might not be aware of:

1. There is a Yahoo group where they have been running this experiment for 2+ years now. No need to reinvent the wheel.
2. She is using portfolio margin so she can write way more contracts than your retail margin allows you.

...So in about six weeks you made 3%

2K on a 150K account is 1.5%....

Call me pedantic if you want, guys, but when I left high school (only a few years ago), $2k on a $150k account was actually 1.33%.

Must be this "new math", I suppose ...

This is an experiment. I am not a Supertrader.
