Var, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that's not an option for me right now, so I will stick with Y! for a while. Since it's only 3 calls I can also calculate returns manually once in a while.var wrote: prob the best way to do it set up ameritrade account...

Here are the 2016 results:
12/30/15
TLT 7 Jan 2018 Calls $5544
SPY 3 Jan 2018 Calls $5251
GLD 5 Jan 2018 Calls $5488
1/3/2016
TLT $3616 -35%
SPY $7135 +36%
GLD $6347 +16%
Start Finish
$16,283 $17,098
Total $815 (gross 5%) *.15% (capital gains) = $693 (net 4.3%)
At one point this year the portfolio was up over 100%, when both gold and bonds more than doubled. Started to dip around August, and then really tanked after the election. Still had small gain though.
2013 2.7%
2014 62%
2015 -58%
2016 4.2%
