The music stopped (metaphorically speaking). After two months of consecutive 10% return in a single month (10% of the entire account value), a large mistake I made caused the music to stop. It was still a positive PNL month overall but this taught me a good lesson, which will be discussed in more detail. Volatility […]

Video Notes The market was volatile on Monday / Tuesday Market internal showed the market volatility was not likely a long term event. LQDA: A good set up to sell the $2.5 strike assuming no significant development for the stock in the next few months.
No matter which investment-related websites I visit these days, articles and discussions about Tesla and Nio Inc keep coming up. While these two stocks do not show up on my options screeners, I do see a lot of other stocks related to electric vehicles that skyrocketed recently thanks to the electric vehicles boom that’s going […]

Have you ever asked yourself “Why do I trade?”. The obvious answer is to make more money, but have you ever asked why we need to make the amount of money we think we need to make? For me personally, at the current stage of my life, the main reason is to support my family. […]
When it comes to trading VXX options, it is important to understand the nature of this exchange-traded note (ETN). By design, VXX price is going to depreciate over time. Generally speaking, I mainly trade VXX options in the direction of price decay and do not buy VXX Call in anticipation of its price to go […]
Is it possible to make a 100% return a year with options trading? I am sure many of us have asked this question. One year ago, I would have said “Possible but unlikely”. Today, my answer is “It is possible with the Wheel Strategy“. October was a really exciting month because not only the PNL […]
When it comes to trading the Wheel strategy, I think there are largely two schools of thought.

The other is to profit from selling premiums by focusing on selling Cash […]
