Compounding 2.8% 1.7% 3.4% and 3.1% is 11.45% in 4 months which is 38.4% compounded.
Very impressive Ron.

@ron99 is there a way to tell what the total market value at expiration is for a certain strike price?
As an example, I found a site that shows strike value for AAPL stock:



I am interested in futures market value though as I dont trade stocks.

Thanks.

ps Ill be slowly working my way through your thread. Trying to teach myself options trading. I've started on that book you mentioned in your first post.
