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:
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.

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): 🧵
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…

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 🧵
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.

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
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.

I’ve made 8-figures trading without using a stop-loss.
I’ve also:
- Made $2.7M in 24 hours
- Found 80+ A+ trades in a month
- Maintained a 70% win rate
Here are 7 risk management lessons that will change your trading forever: 1) The No Stop-Loss Approach
Most traders swear by stop losses.
I don’t.
I size my trades as if they could go to zero.
If you can’t handle a 100% loss, you’ll never catch a 500% gain.
Instead of getting stopped out, I ride volatility to bigger wins.

I’ve made over $10 million day trading.
Trading doesn’t require “hard work” or staring at the chart all day.
And after 15 years of trading, I still use a 2-step strategy.
Here’s my 70% win rate strategy:
Most traders try to force trades every day.
I only trade when two stars align:
1. A major price level (daily/weekly chart) 2. A powerful market catalyst (news or data)
This keeps me out of low-quality setups - and in position for big wins.

If I wanted to turn $6k into $100k trading options in 90 days…
Here's how I would do it:
(The blueprint I used when I first started trading as a full-time med school student)
🧵
When I first started, I wasn’t rich.
I had $6K.
And with the PDT rule, I could only take 3 trades per week.
So I had to build a system that worked with tight capital, strict limits, and zero room for dumb decisions.
Here's everything you need to know about it:

I’ve traded for over 15 years.
And have proven this strategy to be SUCCESSFUL.
Take 2 minutes to learn the exact system that changed my life (70% win rate):🧵
During my 15 years trading, I’ve made over 8-figures.
But I’ve also had 7-figure losses.
Here's the reason that I'm still in the game today:

I’ve made $10,000,000+ trading options.
Most people have no idea how to scale their own capital.
Here’s exactly how you do it: 1. Stop chasing big wins
Most traders want $10K weeks before they’ve had five $1K weeks.
That’s how you blow up...
Learn to preserve capital before trying to scale it.

I’m 34.
I make over $400k a month from trading options.
If you’re struggling to become profitable…
Here's the quickest way to do it (just copy me):
Most traders chase perfect setups.
But setups don’t matter if you don’t understand yourself.
You need to know:
- Your emotions
- Your risk tolerance
- How you react to wins/losses
Then build your system around you.

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): 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.

I’ve made over $10M trading options:
It didn’t happen overnight
AND
It didn’t happen by luck
Here are 10 lessons I wish I knew before I started 🧵
1. Simple > Smart
I don’t use indicators.
I don’t need 10 confirmations.
I use:
→ levels
→ patience
→ momentum
That’s it.
Trying to be the smartest guy in the room cost me years.

There's many different ways to make money trading options. I'm going to explain my journey on how I grew my account big enough to generate at least $100,000 each month 💡
When I first started trading, I had to wait weeks at a time for high probability trade setups that had the potential to move at least 5-10x. This helped grow a 4 figure account to 5 figures and eventually 6 figures within the first 2 years.

Key Components of a Trading Journal 📈📝
Here are 6 things I put/write in my trading journal that has helped me become a Consistent Trader over the past 12 years
1) Date/time/ticker
It’s important to know which tickers and time of day you perform best in and trade within that window of time. It’s also important to focus on trading a core group of tickers rather than trading 20-30 names per month.
Less is more.
