The latest ASX Options Trading Game has come to an end with Victorian player Jack Golding managing to take the top spot. A lawyer by day, Mr Golding proved he’s also a deft hand when it comes to trading. In the space of four weeks he turned his original $50,000 into a staggering $398,238.76 – delivering a return of 696.48%. While a far-cry from Moon Patel’s record-breaking 3331% return in the final trading game of 2019, Mr Golding still finished up roughly $100,000 clear of his nearest competitor. And he managed to do it all in only three trades, with a smartly-placed long call on Woodside Petroleum (ASX: WPL) fuelling much of his monstrous success. The top five players in the October-November 2020 Options Trading Game   Even though Mr Golding only made a handful of trades, long put and call options typically pay off for players who get the direction of the market right, thanks to the leverage these options give traders.
