Click here to review all our trades. Each trade recommendation includes open and closed date, the Alert # to confirm the recommendation price and option recommendation details, profit in dollars and return calculation.

Average dollar profit per recommendation, $1355 assume 10 contracts $681.40.*

Average holding per period recommendation, 40 days.*

We do not believe the quanity of trade recommendations made is the important criteria. Instead we believe it’s the quality of the trade recommendations made that counts. We recommend approximately 3 recommendations per month but reserve the right to increase or decrease the number of trade recommendations made based on market opportunity determined by the fundamental, technical and sentiment analysis we use to determine and pinpoint our trade recommendations.*

More Performance Metrics*

Total recommendations since inception, 100, 79 wins (79%), 20 losses (21%), 1 break even.*

Cumulative Return since inception, 2,050.18% (Sum/gross total of return for all trades since inception)

Returns for each year assuming 10 contracts:

2007 23% = $6,620 (profits generated) minus $414.58 (5 months prorated subscription investment $995) divided by $4,560 (average initial investment recommendation).*

2008 470.29% = $27,000 (profits generated) minus $995 (subscription investment) divided by $4,560 (average initial investment recommendation).*

2009 594.62% = $32,670 (profits generated) minus $995 (subscription investment $995) divided by $4,560 (average initial investment recommendation).*

The cumulative return above is 1145.55% (remember this cumulative return is net of the $995 subscription investment/fee).*

* The Gold and Energy Options Trader is strictly intended as an educational and entertainment service. All Track Record Results are Hypothetical. Subscriber results will differ because of commissions, time of execution, broker efficiencies and potential slippage (price difference between recommended price and execution price). The Publisher and Editor of the Gold and Energy Options Trader James DiGeorgia is not a registered investment advisor.

*Past Track Record Results are no guarantee of future success. Option Trading is EXTREMELY speculative. Consult a professionally licensed investment advisor with Options Trading Experience before trading

*It is the policy of Gold and Energy Options Trader:

  • Never recommends commodity options. The Gold and Energy Options Trader specializes in trading equity and ETF options.

  • To recommend option trading strategies such as selling short put options, buying call options, long and short spreads, strangles as well as calendar spreads.

  • To bar its employees from buying or trading its options trade recommendations. This prevents even the appearance of front running.

  • To post our closed trade recommendations in their entirety promptly in the the closed portfolio section of our website publicly so subscribers and prospective subscribers can judge our track record for themselves.

  • Not to give individual options trading advice.

  • To remain unaffiliated with any brokerage or options trading exchange. The Gold and Energy Options Trader does not cooperate or participate in any kind of automatic trade execution. The Gold and Energy Options Trader will not manage or control any subscribers trading account.

  • To deliver trade recommendations via email and posting on the Gold and Energy Options Trader website simultaneously. We are not responsible for computer, server, error or email deliverability or malfunctions.

  • The Gold and Energy Options Trader may recommend taking a position in an equity or ETF as part as an options repair to recover a trading loss or to maximize a theoretical profit.

  • We are not responsible for subscribers or prospective subscribers trading losses.

  • To ALWAYS provide a FREE XX week online Options Education course to increase subscribers and the general public.

*PLEASE ALSO READ THE Gold and Energy Options Trader Risk Disclosure Statement.
