Systematic Put Write - February 2020

Summary

Last Friday was Option Expiration day and it is time to review the movements done following our strategy.

Very strong gains during the first four weeks of the monthly cycle that faded a bit during the last two-three trading sessions. Very good scenario for our strategy since we keep all the premium obtained selling the February PUT option and we get better volatility for March.

IBEX closed at 9886 points, gaining 206 points or 2,1%. As I had sold a February 9600 PUT, for 136,35€, I keep all premium and book a gain of 1,36%.

Considering this, since its inception, the Put Write Strategy is at +6.0%. During the same period, IBEX 35 gained +3,6%.

Movements and results so far

I started on August 22nd 2018 selling a 9500 September 2018 Put with the IBEX at 9540. This value will be used as base value from now on. These are the last twelve months (complete records can be found here).
