Your stop loss may be set up differently than mine, my stop loss would prevent unforeseen momentum from driving a leveraged call or put. The return on the option should cover the 1.5% in lost value from re-establishing a position. A 1.5% change in stock price will often lead to 60-70% changes in option price. I think Uncle Sam likes successful option trades far more than conservative share movement. I guess if I had the wealth, I would have a large majority of my shares in positions to counter current days movement. As it is I’m balancing my books rather well on annual traded value of over 2million... that’s not calculating the relative value options could potentially hold... at which point my annual trades would be in the $100 million range.
