Near the end of 2024, I opened a CMS account with Fidelity. I had a lot of money in T-bills that had been paying decent interest for a passive investment.

It took a while, but I moved those funds. I invested in several MFs. FSELX, FXAIX, FGRTX and a few more with most weight in FSELX. It has performed well.

As I write this, 67% of my account is in FSELX. YTD it's performance is 37.66%.

I also am an active options trader, not with Fidelity, with a high performance options brokerage. I can hit the same or higher performance with my trades but it does take more work.

I poke around at many of the different pages. Under Asset Allocation: 93% of your selected accounts are invested in stocks, which resembles a Most Aggressive portfolio. I like that, and need to find the 7% and dump them.

After joining this group, I was encouraged to consider TSLL and TQQQ. I find them finicky to trade as their bid ask spreads are very wide. Good ROCs.

With my spreadsheet, I mock up expected rolls. One calculation I added, well because I could was the difference in price of the option being sold and the one being purchased.

My observations are that should be the midpoint. It seems that when the sentiment is against the ticker, The trade will only fill at a lower credit. When the sentiment is high, it is possible to be filled at higher than the midpoint.

My normal way to trade options is to choose a credit higher than the midpoint and gradually walk it down until it fills.

Anyone else notice this?
