    Legend:
    • BPS - Bull Put Spread
    • BCS - Bear Call Spread
    • CSP - Cash Secured Put (trade assumes investor wants to purchase 1000 shares of underlying)
    • Blog Entry Date - date suggested trade was mentioned
    • Confirmation Date - date when trade was opened, on confirmation of entry signal. 
      Notes to Table:
      • Currently open trades obviously have no "Exit Date" entry, but initial profit/loss is calculated
      • Entry and exit price are calculated from closing price on Confirmation Date
      • Profit/loss is calculated per option contract (1 XJO point is $10, 1 equity option cent per contract is also $10 - 1000 shares per contract) or per 1000 shares or 500 warrants (assumed leverage of 50%).
      • A long call or put has an immediate "loss" as a debit is made, whilst a sold call or put or credit spread has an immediate "profit". Final profit/loss is calculated on exit.
      • No brokerage, ACH fees, slippage (buy/sell spread) or liquidity/fill problems are assumed or calculated.
      For ease of calculation, I have not calculated Return on Assets (ROA) due to margin requirements on sold option positions or varying interest rates on warrants, or any interest on cash held in account.
