[realtraders] S&P Option Trading {01}

To List:

I have just been reviewing a methodology that trades one time a month on the 
Monday after option expiration.In essence one would:

Enter a strangle as follows:

Sell an S&P call at 1530

Sell an S&P put  at 1330

Based on past probability one would keep the premiums and the options would 
expire worthless.One could also protect the position by buying insurance 
call and put at a price that would still make the trade worthwhile.

Can anyone familiar with this type of trade comment on their utility.The 
"back data" looks impressive but I have no way of documenting its 
truthfulness.

BTW,for some reason I did not see my S&R numbers for 11/19/99 come through.

John
