Performance Commentary
We couldn’t have picked a better time to launch the strategy.
It was a monster 2 month return for Merlin beating the returns of the benchmark and doing so with very little volatility and draw-down. The strategy has been accumulating as much risk as it can get its hands on and utilizing margin for most of December. The number of open positions heading into the new year remains high, but many initial targets have been achieved and stops raised to protect from the inevitable market pullback.

I thank this would work with trading options over many types of stocks and other.
Hi Glen, Yes most of the stocks in the merlin universe (but not all) will have liquid option chains so you could express the trades that way and it would definitely free up some capital.
