October Option Data Analysis
 
Statistical Analysis of Options Data

This report presents a comprehensive statistical examination of 74 closed options positions, designated as subset 'A' (SMS Alerts), alerts beginning from June 27, 2025, to October 15, 2025, with expirations in October. The analysis employs descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, linear regression, tranche analysis, and risk-adjusted metrics to identify patterns in percentage returns, risk classifications, option types, and stock-specific outcomes, providing a robust foundation for understanding historical performance within the context of 2025 market dynamics.

Data Source and Calculation Methodology

The percentage returns reported in this analysis are derived from the opening ask price of the options data gathered as communicated via SMS alerts sent to subscribers on the respective trade initiation dates. Returns are calculated based on the highest bid price achieved by each option during its holding period, reflecting the maximum potential gain for each position. This methodology assumes execution at the alerted opening price and captures the peak value of the option for performance evaluation. It is important to note that it is implausible to time the top of every alert perfectly. This data is provided to educate users on the variability in outcomes driven by underlying price movements at options expiration.

Descriptive Statistics

The 'A' subset exhibits a success rate of 90.54%, with 67 positions yielding positive returns and 7 resulting in losses. Percentage returns range from -100% to 2,377.8%, with a mean of 326%, median of 91%, and standard deviation of 543%, indicating a strongly right-skewed distribution characteristic of high-conviction options alerts. The skewness coefficient of 2.09 and kurtosis of 3.61 highlight extreme positive outliers, such as the 2,377.8% return on INTC. The interquartile range (IQR) of 346% underscores significant variability within the middle 50% of returns.

Analysis by Risk Classification

Low-risk positions (n=3) lead with 848% mean return and 100% win rate. Medium-risk (n=40) average 348%, while high-risk (n=31) deliver 268%. Coefficient of variation shows low-risk as most stable (CV=0.95), high-risk most volatile (CV=2.10). ANOVA p=0.48 — no significant difference, but low-risk dominates per-unit risk.

Risk Level Count Mean Return (%) Median Return (%) Std. Dev. (%) Win Rate Coefficient of Variation
Low 3 848 405 804 100% 0.95
Medium 40 348 138 652 92.5% 1.87
High 31 268 92 562 87.1% 2.10
Analysis by Option Type

Call options (n=57) dominate with 395% mean return and 93.0% win rate, vs. 128% and 82.4% for puts (n=17). The mean difference is highly significant (t-test, p=0.003). Sharpe ratio: calls 0.61, puts 0.40 — calls deliver superior risk-adjusted performance.

Type Count Mean Return (%) Median Return (%) Std. Dev. (%) Win Rate Sharpe Ratio
Call 57 395 135 671 93.0% 0.61
Put 17 128 70 285 82.4% 0.40
Stock-Specific Performance

Performance is highly concentrated in volatile momentum names. INTC (1 trade) leads at 2,377.8%, followed by RGTI (3 trades, 1,401.5%), BE (3 trades, 1,212%), and EQX (1 trade, 1,666.7%). The top 10 stocks represent 78% of total return variance, confirming elite stock selection edge.

Stock Count Mean Return (%)
INTC 1 2,377.8
EQX 1 1,666.7
AMPY 1 1,450.0
RGTI 3 1,401.5
BE 3 1,212.0
LYFT 2 952.5
AMD 4 388.4
DELL 1 372.9
CLS 1 359.4
RKLB 1 357.0
Correlations and Regression Analysis

Pearson’s correlations remain weak:

  • Cost vs. Return: r = –0.11, p=0.35
  • Days to Expiration vs. Return: r = 0.14, p=0.23
  • Risk Level vs. Return: r = –0.04, p=0.74

Linear regression: Return = 0.012 × Days + 2.68
R² = 0.019 (1.9% explained), p=0.23

Multiple regression (Cost + DTE + Risk + Call): Adjusted R² = 0.058 → Only 5.8% of variance explained. Stock selection and catalysts dominate.

These findings confirm that 'A' alert outcomes are driven by idiosyncratic alpha, not duration, cost, or risk label — within the bullish, volatile 2025 environment.
