Statistical Analysis
Historically, August has been a very strong month for our options trading strategy. Since 2002, August trades have maintained an impressive 95% winning history and an equally impressive 121% average return. These key performance indicators were generated after 121 trades. Reviewing the actual trades shows overwhelming wins with no major losing months. We have a gap in data from 2003 to 2007 and only traded lightly in 2009 and 2011 which contributes to fewer overall trades, but does indicate an ability to choose better picks in challenging years.
