Strategies in Investment, Options& Futures-FIN

Submit a detailed report that describes the performance of your trades. How much did you earn on each trade?  make sure to describe your performance in specific dollar terms, not percentage terms. Your report should be three pages in length and include the following sections:
– A single-page summary of the performance of your trades (1 page in total).
– A discussion of the performance of your trades including a discussion explaining any failures, and including detailed numbers with supporting evidence from your data source (only 1 page per trade).
Here are some more details regarding what you should focus on when preparing deliverable 2:
–  How much did you earn on each trade? Make sure to describe your performance in specific dollar terms, not percentage terms.

Summarize the performance for all trades on a single page and then discuss in more depth for each trade. The reference to “evidence from data source” means that you should  present the numbers that show how you have performed.

For option positions, simply compare the price of the given option when you close out the position to the price at the beginning of the period

For futures positions, compare the value of the futures contract when you close out the position to its value when you initiated the position.
