On a daily basis millions of options are being traded for a value equivalent to several billions of dollars. However, there is also an added risk of losing a fortune. Some of the reasons investors do not maximize their return are either they are uninformed or fail to prevent catastrophic losses. The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate investment strategies with the goal of developing a model that will better reveal the ideal strategy (where, when, and how) to invest. This project will optimize strategies for trading S&P futures options only since it is the among largest and most liquid options market in the world. S&P futures options are reputed to have one of the highest rate of returns so the factors contribute to it being a logical option for this project.
