    One benefit of the TastyWorks platform is $0 commission for closing positions (there is a small clearing fee charged).

      Thanks for visiting Exsanguinator.

      Good point – I believe they’re $1.40 round trip IIRC: $1 to open, $0 to close, and $0.20 in exch fees each way.

    ‘Each of the short straddle strategies generates 3134 trades.’
    How come there are so many trades? If you trade only quarterly options over 10 years, that’s 40 trades. or monthly , which would be 120 trades.

This methodology is used to mitigate luck issues associated with tracking the performance of a single rolling position.
