I’ve completed 14 trades using a mix of basic options strategies
- Sell Put – to collect premium with the intention to buy at a lower price
- Bull Put Spread – a more defined-risk strategy for bullish-to-neutral market
- Bear Call Spread – a more defined-risk strategy for bearish-to-neutral market
This week, I’m shifting the format slightly. Instead of presenting trades by expiry date or premium realized, I’m simply listing the contracts that were closed or expired in May and June’25.
Some of the trades I entered were initially set to expire in July, but I chose to close them early in June. Here’s why:
📌 Why I Closed Early:
- Profit target reached: If a trade hits 60–80% of its max profit early, I prefer to close and lock it in. No point holding and risking reversal.
- Market outlook changed: Geopolitical tensions (like the recent Iran-Iraq news) and sudden volatility made some setups less favorable, specifically on MARA (Marathon Digital Holdings). I decided to close the position early as
I wasn’t confident in predicting MARA’s short-term direction with all the volatility driven by geopolitical news and Bitcoin price swings, I preferred to cut the trade early rather than risk unnecessary loss. Hence, I closed it immediately when realizing only 3.32% premium. - Capital rotation: Freeing up buying power early allows me to rotate into better opportunities or layer into new setups.
🎯 My goal isn’t to “hold until expiry” — it’s to manage risk and secure consistent profit where possible
💰 Outcome (Still maintaining 100% Win rate so far):
So far, I’m maintaining a 100% win rate on my closed trades. While it’s still early in the journey, this strong start is a result of sticking to well-defined setups, sizing trades conservatively, and taking profits early rather than holding for max gain.That said, I know the market won’t always be this forgiving — so I’m not getting overconfident. My focus remains on discipline, consistency and risk management.
📌 If this win rate continues to hold over the next few months, I’ll share a detailed breakdown of the exact rules, trade filters, and exit strategies I’m using to maintain it.
For now, I’m continuing to log each trade and refine my system quietly behind the scenes. More to come as the data builds.
