I have wondered what kind of returns the WOWS model portfolio would produce using the leverage of options, so I asked one of our options traders that has been doing very well what his performance has been like.
He gave me the performance from the time he started using 3C signals from July 31, 2011 to September 23 with the caveat that he didn't really get active due to a vacation until mid August.
His average across all portfolios is 108%, two of his accounts were at 252% and 97.4% for the time period.
He's been a very helpful member for other option traders and his message, "Market timing is the only way to go".
Now that's impressive. However, we all have gifts and talents in different areas and you must always trade in a manner in which you are comfortable and have been successful. Sometimes it takes some time to find that place-risk management will keep you afloat until you do . I hear great success stories every day from all kinds of traders, I think the main point is not so much having the biggest portfolio, I was simply interested in how options traders were doing, the main point is YOU CAN BEAT THE MARKET!
Is interest rates about to start going up?

Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.
