@Mattias From This update is my way to identify the risk that the portfolio currently has. For a less technical explination of what I am saying with these updates: if /ES stays between $5,560 and $8,375 then the account should- 1. Stay solvent (risk for option selling strategies). 2. Generate return. 3. Have paid for high return opportunities. So far, the account has paid for several possible high return opportunities and is roughly even (up 1.15% since September). I'm more concerned about limiting losses than generating returns at this time. To try to better explain it see the following chart for my /MES positions. The triangle-like cat ears show the high return positions that have already been paid for by initial sold option premium - essentially I was paid (through theta decay or time passing) to have the possiblility to have an options position that will return additional income if the market ends closer to those prices found at the bottom of the graph. There is a second chart that shows the completed trades and demonstrates that risk has been completely removed becaus the orange line shows that regardless of market price my account will have a net gain of just over $700.
