3/28/2019 11:33:17 AM 1. Not sure what "comprehensive" entails but I have a couple of option spreadsheets that acquaintances have sent me over the years. One is entitiled Bull Put Trading results and the other is Back Test of Options. Neither has overly complicated or envolved formulas for cell calculations. 2. the Bull Put spreadsheet has the following column descriptors which might give you some good ideas : Symbol Date Entered End Date Stock Price at Order Entry Sell Put Strike Difference Between Put and Stock Buy Put Strike Lowest Stock Price Lowest End of Day Price Final Stock Price Number of Contracts Max Risk Received from Sold Puts Paid for Bought Puts Net Credit Return on Option Max Risk Maximum Drop on Stock Price Historic Volatility from Probability Calculator Gain/Loss Stock 3. Here is the list of headers from the backtest spreadsheet for more ideas: Date Market Bias Spread Search used in VV D Check Symbol Equity Curve Check HV IV OI Strikes No of Contracts Max $ Gain Max $ Loss Delta Short D Net Net D Probability of Profit Exit Date Days in Trade Expiry Date $ P/L $ Available $ Next % Return 4. I did a few quick searches in Google for variations of "Excel Templates Stock Options Ledger" and found a few hits with free downloadable spreadsheets but I suspect you've already done that. Ed S. |

3/29/2019 9:57:45 AM Thanx for the response. I need something to keep track of my positions in 2 accounts, and have cobbled something together using the csv download from Tastytrade. Maybe I am going at this wrong, but even a small account can accumulate a large number of positions if the position size is kept around 5%, or smaller considering these "experimental" trades of late.

3/29/2019 11:18:24 AM Glad to see you back Graff. I have been sitting in the background developing a better buy/sell strategy for myself on trading as I was not getting the results I want. A old trader once said if your results are not getting what you want then change trading strategy.. |

3/29/2019 8:03:06 PM Mac, Good to hear from you. Are you still aboard the Prosperity? She seems to have found a home on the upper Miss and Illinois. I took some time to learn about options, and I feel it was time well spent. I opened a tastytrade account, the trading is cheap, there are a ton of videos, and the whole operation seems "little people friendly". Also just moved my wifes IRA over. I am re-writing a lot of my old filters to accomodate otions, however the big drawback with SF is the lack of implied volatility Graf |

3/30/2019 3:33:50 PM Yes but no. The ema13 & ma50. Looking for resistance breakouts. Setups like the below with price breaking above and holding above the resistance lines These are a few I'm watching for monday 4/1/2019 for confirmed breakout.     |

3/30/2019 11:02:21 PM For me the indicator of the month is the Hull MA, an attempt at reducing the lag inherent in MAs. Take a look at the following, which looks at 16, 50 and 200 MAs plus a volume consideration. |
