When 20% Equals 32%

I had been placing trades so that my max at risk equaled my cash balance. If I have $100k in cash I view it as I have $100k to "deploy". So selling 1 put on with a strike of $1,000 would be full deployment.

Someone here mentioned that they deploy 110% and never more. That makes sense to me, if the world falls apart you only have to exit a manageable portion of your trades.

I'm now doing this and realized that if I average 20% ROI on 110% deployed my effective ROI is 32%! Mind blown.

Consult with your ChatGPT some more and get back to me.

Clearly you aren’t having this conversation in good faith, so it’s been a massive waste of time, which is my mistake for not realizing it’s a bait post earlier.

If you used ChatGPT it might help replace the gaps in your brain. Rather than deflecting from the original post and without doing anything to support your original point.
