Sorry - option hypotheticals are hard to do since you have to buy this data and it isn't cheap
Also, I would think you would want to compare apples to apples. 10g in the stock and 10g in options. The options move much quicker and you are able to purchase way more as 1 options contract = 100 shares, unless your purchasing minis.
*****************************************************
But, on a real trade I bought some June 17th VXX 14.00 puts on 5/24/2016 - Price was around $14.50 and bought them for .67 cents. They just closed today for 1.29 and were as high as 1.55 today. That is over 100% whereas if you just shorted VXX - or went long XIV you only made ~11.24%.
I understand the time decay element, but damn - if you have such a good system, I would just purchase either 1 or 2 month out calls/puts and make a killing.

Well thanx for the input but I'm most comfortable with stocks.
1. I know my entry exit by following my indicators, with options
It's more of an arbitrary guess, estimate.
2. For 6x what I would put in an option, I will make the same without time decay.
3. The filter that is indicating that Uvxy might go to 100, is a fringe filter that I'm not certain of.
4. Just feel more comfortable.

Greed at collective2 has become quite the Internet sensation. Has now returned 35% in 2 months
And is now being showcased on the Leaderboard... Be proud SF, be proud.

Hey, we finally see your system on there.
Maybe you can make beliebers out of people now?!?

BTW do you have any subscribers yet? I have been thinking about putting my system on C2, but want to make sure my investment/payment to them is worth it!

I have 3 but my system is very cheap. Just want to recoup my purchase price.
Seems like there are a lot less members than before and I am really not convinced the operator
is allowing us to play on a level playing field. If you go to the grid & look under stocks, you will see
I am top 10 in many categories yet just was allowed to be on the leaderboard, while crappy little
systems are featured over and over. Maybe some vested interest.
I don't recommend it.

Crazy you have to be "let" on the leaderboard. I agree there must be some vested interest somewhere.
I also agree that it seems membership has declined over time and they are not getting many new members.
Do you know of other sites where you can sell trading strategies that have more traffic?
*******************************************
Also, is the annual return calculated for you off of what you have already returned? - it looks like 385%, but you're only up 34%?

Shillls, you are Ares? $10 is not too bad..I'm thinking about joining since it is so cheap and it seems you know what you are doing with your strategy..
By the way, how does that collective works? If I join, my fund gets traded automatically when you trade? Or do I just get notified about your trade?
