Trump crazy rally and my mistake hurt results but ...

This guy mentions Tax Cut and the market rockets up:

I've been doing mostly neutral trades for my own (currently small) account, as well as making a mistake "The S&P 500 will never get above 2520 this cycle, will it?" It did:

In any event, I've been trying the "trade small, trade often" Tastytrade method a bit ... overall it's less risky than the way I was trading before, but also less profitable.

So overall I'm now down to net liq $3599.77 ... which is down just about 10% overall.

I am pretty sure I have $55K or so coming into this account within the next couple of weeks and here's my plan for it:

(1) Continued Tastytrade canoodling, especially with higher-volatility stocks like TSLA
(2) Some earnings trades, selling a (small) 2-day iron condor just outside the expected move
(3) Short futures contracts ... probably 2 or 3 of these, selling puts against them every week
(4) For 25% of the account balance, stepping out of the Tastytrade arena and moving on to Ralph Vince (but using a trade idea from 2013 Tastytrade -- though I can't find the video right now):

Sell a 1 standard deviation SPX Iron Condor weekly option near the end of trading (1:15 PM Pacific) every Thursday, taking advantage of the (excess) premium in the options that remain because even though you can't trade SPX after Thursday 1:15, the actual settled price doesn't come through until Friday a.m., in a vehicle called SET.

I could just swear I saw at some point a customer-published study showing that this trade (or actually
the short strangle: an Iron Condor without the protective wings) works 91.67% of the time.

Assuming that, I'm "safe" risking 25% of my account every week ... each trade making about 15% on margin, so 91.67% of the time making 0.25 * 0.15 = 3.75% per week ... most weeks. If you do that successfully 10 weeks in a row, you gain 44.5% for those 10 weeks:

A monte carlo simulation running this 10000 times shows this hugely profitable ... but I have enough experience by now that I'm just going to test this with 1-lots (risking about $400 per trade) for 10 weeks in some of the (long suffering) people's accounts I am still trading ...before putting it to the 25% test in my own account.

I'll publish the results of the first such test this weekend!
