Nice, on the call spreads. I'm really interested to see how you end with that.
I should note that my "experiment" is with what I call a Playground trading account on Etrade. Sort of a high risk "if I lost it all, no big deal" account.
Each trade rolls 100% of the proceeds into the the trade. If I reach my 100%, Im going to try and start the same cycle over for another 16 trades with another 100%.......
This is like a PVP game for me. Imaging taking 7k which is what I started to process with, and going through 10 cycles of 16 trades in which the cash is doubled......
$7,000 Start
$14,000
$28,000
$56,000
$112,000
$224,000
$448,000
$896,000
$1,792,000
$3,584,000
$7,168,000
This of course will most likely never ever be successful. Meaning, I doubt it would ever happen, nor would the market volatility last long enough. Not to mention that large trades would get noticed. But its an interesting concept / game.
