I’ve made $10,000,000+ from trading options.

Most people have no idea how to start and scale their capital.

If I had to start all over with under $1000...

Here’s the ONLY guide I’d follow (anyone can do this): Image
1) What even is an option?

First let’s understand.

An option is just a contract that lets you bet on whether a stock will go up (call) or down (put).

You don’t own the stock, you’re renting it.

And the best part…

You can make money whether the market’s up, down, or sideways.
2) My go-to analogy

Trading options is like putting a down payment on a girl way out of your league.

If she blows up on IG, you’re in early.

If not? You walk away.

All you lost was the price of dinner.

That’s options.

Less commitment. More upside.
3) The 3 things I check before every trade

Every option has:

• Strike price (target)
• Expiration date (deadline)
• Premium (what I pay)

If you don’t understand those 3, you’re not ready to trade.
4) One thing beginners screw up

If you’re just starting, avoid weekly options.

They’re the riskiest plays with the fastest time decay.

I always tell new traders to stick with monthly or longer-dated contracts.

More time = more room to be right.
5) The only tools you need

I started on TD ameritrade web browser:

- Clean

- Simple
- Beginner-friendly.
But when I got serious, I switched to ThinkorSwim and E-Trade Pro.

Start light. Upgrade later. Avoid overload.
6) A trade I’ll never forget

I bought QQQ 425 calls when it bounced off the 2021 highs at $408.

That same week it ran to 440. The calls hit $30+.

Why? I waited for the right level.

Patience is the edge most traders don’t have.
7) My risk rule

Starting out, I never risked more than 5% per trade.

If I had $5k, I only risked $250 max.

After months of wins, I’d take bigger shots… but always with a plan.

No plan = no trade.
8) My final advice

Pick one strategy
Master it
Find a mentor

I wasted years trying to figure it out on my own.

But it doesn’t have to be like that for you.

Here’s why:
I built Elite Options Pro to give you everything I wish I had when I started.

- Real-time alerts
- Community with 7-figure traders
- My 70% Win Rate strategy

How to Spot REAL Reversals vs. Fake Pullbacks 🔮📉

If you’ve ever chased a “bounce” only to get trapped,

This will change the way you see the market.

I’ll break it down step by step 🧵 Image
1/

Reversal trades are the highest-risk, highest-reward moves in the market.

One perfect trade can pay for weeks of small losers.

But most traders get it wrong.

The question:

How do you know which bounces are real… and which are traps?
2/

First, let’s define the difference:

❌ Fake Pullback: Slow, hesitant, repeated tests of the level.
✅ Real Reversal: Swift, decisive price reaction with conviction.

Most retail traders can’t tell the difference until it’s too late. Image

I’ve been trading for 14 years.

My system has a 70% win rate.

It’s not complicated… but it works.

Below I’ll show you exactly how I used it to make 8 figures trading: 🧵 Image
Many traders are trading blind.

They chase alerts.

Rely on lagging indicators.

Or worse… they enter without a real plan.

I used to do all of that. Until I lost enough to realize:

Structure beats hope, every single time.
Everything changed when I focused on ONE thing:

Price at key levels.

Not MACD.
Not 10 indicators stacked on a chart.

It was just clean levels, clear zones, and repeatable setups.

That’s how I trade now.

I’ve traded options for 15 years.

Most traders think options are complicated - but they’re actually very simple.

If used correctly, they’re a cheat code.

The #1 reason I’ve been able to make 8 figures trading is by keeping options simple.

Here’s how I trade them: Image
First, what even is an option?

An option is a contract that gives you the right (not obligation) to buy or sell a stock at a certain price by a certain date.

There are only 2 types:
- Call option → bet the stock goes UP
- Put option → bet the stock goes DOWN

That’s it.
Why trade options instead of stocks?

Options give you leverage.

Instead of paying $50,000 to buy 100 shares of AAPL…

You could pay a fraction of that for a call option - yet still profit if AAPL runs higher.

- Bigger upside potential
- Smaller capital required
- Defined risk (you can only lose what you paid)

I became profitable in my first year of trading.

Since then, I've made over $10,000,000.

Here are the lessons that turned me profitable in my first year (everyone skips these): 🧵 Image
First, it’s important for you to understand why I’m writing this thread.

I’ve spent 14 years in the market learning these lessons.

Most traders never even learn them, and they ultimately quit.

If I could help just 1 trader with the lessons I learned, then this thread is worth it…
1. Your network shapes your mindset.

Surround yourself with thinkers, dreamers, and people with an abundance mindset.

If the people around you don’t have as big of dreams as you do, trading will become twice as hard.

Almost every trader blows up for the same reason.

It usually happens at 9:31 AM.

Unless you know this trap—it will drain your account before you even realize it.

Here’s the untold truth 🧵 Image
The bell rings. Charts flash red and green.
Volume spikes. Price moves fast.

And your brain screams: Do something!

So you do.

You hit buy. Or sell.

One minute in… and you’re already in danger.
Most traders think the first 5 minutes are the “best trading time.”

The truth? That’s exactly when small accounts get hunted.

Big money doesn’t fight the first 5.

They wait… and let the amateurs chop themselves up.

Trading changed my life.

I’ve made over $10M in 14 years, and I never have to stress about money again.

But I could’ve done it in half the time, with half the effort.

Here are 7 things I wish I knew before I started trading:

1. A strategy won't make you profitable Image
Don’t put your hope in a strategy - you are the most valuable asset.

Keep studying yourself.

Consistency compounds: small improvements will stack up fast.

Don’t think in days - think in years.

If you’re still here, you’re already ahead of 90% who gave up.
2. Protecting your capital is winning.

The fastest way to stay broke is to let one loss erase months of work.

Winning traders don’t just focus on profits - they obsess over never blowing up.

Use stop losses, size down in uncertainty, and never risk what you can’t afford.
