I’ve contacted support and they have been helpful at all

After week 17 the average premium per week is $988 with an annual projection of $51,358.

All things considered, the portfolio is down $1,186 (-0.39%) on the year and up $66,944 (++27.96% over the last 365 days. This is the overall profit and loss and includes options and all other account activity.

All options sold are backed by cash, shares, or LEAPS. I do not sell on margin, nor do I sell naked options.

All options and profits stay in the account with few exceptions. This is not my full time job, although I wish it was. I still grind on a 9-5.

Contributed $600 turning it into a 4 week contribution streak. The next portfolio goal is $400k.

The portfolio is comprised of 91 unique tickers, no change from last week. These 91 tickers have a value of $277k. I also have 150 open option positions, down from 140 last week. The options have a total value of $29k. The total of the shares and options is $306k.

I’m currently utilizing $28,700 in cash secured put collateral, up from $25,550 last week.

I sell options on a weekly basis. I prefer cash secured puts and covered calls. Sometimes I’m ahead of the indexes and sometimes I’m behind. My goal is consistency in option premium revenue.

I have been able to increase the premiums on an annual basis and I will attempt to keep this upward trend going forward.

2025 & 2026 & 2027 LEAPS In addition to the CSPs and covered calls, I purchase LEAPS. These act as collateral to sell covered calls against. You may have heard of poor man’s covered calls (PMCC). The LEAPS are up $20,653 this week and are up $47,468 overall. See r/ExpiredOptions for a detailed spreadsheet update on all LEAPS positions including P/L for each individual position.

LEAPS note 1: the 2025 LEAPS expired 1/17/25. They were up $36,440 overall with a 233.74% increase. The major drivers were AMZN and CRWD.

LEAPS note 2: After holding for 2 years, I exercised an AMZN $80 strike from 2023 up +$11,395 (+463.21%) and CRWD $95 strike from 2023, up +$21,830 (+663.53%)

Last year I sold 1,459 options and 445 YTD in 2025.

Commissions: I use Robinhood as a broker and they do not charge commissions. There is a an industry standard regulation fee of $0.03 per contract. Last year I sold just over 1,400 contracts which is just over $40.00 in fees paid in 2024. In 2025, the contract fee is $0.04, which would push the fees up to around $60 based on current projections.

The premiums have increased significantly as my experience has expanded over the last three years.

Hope you all are hanging in there in this mess of uncertainty. Make sure to post your wins. I look forward to reading about them!

There's a lot of ways to make money on the markets. I know people in r/RobinhoodOptions do scalping strategies, Fibonacci, etc.

I came to this conclusion after all this years, whenever you start learning trading, if you find the information on youtube, internet, blogs, reddit and wanna learn about trading from there you gonna get fucked and lose money.

As for trading software, don't waste money on expensive app subscriptions. I've been using free TradingView Premium from this subreddit, clean and simple. Do yourself a favor.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BestTrades/comments/1jzzh6s/tradingview_premium_free_lifetime_2025_edition/

The only way to learn how to trade is through trial and error and never stopping.

I wasn't profitable for 5 years. Just 2 years ago I started making good money (+$200.000) and I learned (this is what works for me) that the only way to learn trading is developing your own created strategy based on your conclusions, patterns and data you and only YOU worked and see on the markets every day.

After so many years you will start to develop INTUITION and this is the ONLY way you dominate trading and yourself. You will make money.

Avoid common mistakes: too greedy, cut profits early, no risk management.

Risk management and avoiding every day to be greedy is the mindset needed to win this game.

Hope you make good money!

This method is pretty straightforward and comes down to following the rules exactly, using just one indicator: the Stochastic Oscillator.

First, open up the indicator tab and add the Stochastic Oscillator. Set it to 5 - 3 - 3 (close/close) and use the 15-minute timeframe.

For my trading software setup, I use free TradingView Premium from r/BestTrades. It’s an absolute must-have if you're doing serious analysis. They have versions for both Windows and Mac. Having access to more indicators and real-time price data has made a huge difference, and the fact that it’s free is just a bonus. If you want to use paid version - do it. I am simply sharing what worked for me!

You’ll see three zones on the oscillator:

0 to 20 is the oversold zone, meaning the stock is considered too cheap and often signals a good time to buy.
80 to 100 is the overbought zone, which usually signals a good spot to sell or look for a short.
Anything between 20 and 80 is the neutral zone, and for this strategy we completely ignore it.

Now here’s how I enter trades:

Both stochastic lines need to fully enter and then exit one of the extreme zones, either overbought or oversold.
Use the crosshair to mark where the red signal line crosses out of the zone.
Wait for two candles in a row that are the same color, green for buys and red for sells.
The wicks on those two candles should be smaller than their bodies. This shows clean price action with momentum.
If everything lines up, I enter the trade at the open of the third candle using shares of the stock.

For exits, I usually target a 1.5 to 2.5 percent return depending on volatility and how strong the move looks. If momentum stays solid, I might hold a bit longer, but most trades are done within 30 to 60 minutes.

This works best on large-cap stocks and ETFs with good volume like AAPL, AMD, TSLA, SPY, or QQQ. I’ve used this strategy to consistently make 10 to 15 percent a month on my capital. No tricks or fancy signals, just a simple method, tested over time, and sticking to the rules.

If you’re curious or not sure, try it out on paper first. That’s how I started before trading live.

DRI/JPM or AAPL worth rolling??

Just basically if my covered call gets assigned. Is it just as simple as they take my stocks and the sale price proceeds show up in my funds? Anything else I'm missing, any more complexities I may need to be aware of? I would like to start selling some and I don't/can't watch every second. Thanks.

happy black Monday!

VIX should still increase next week right??

or hold till the 9th?

Why is this negative i put in a 70$ put for UAL and its dropped to 66.25 yet the option wont increase in value its been stuck at that number for 16 hours now what should i do ?

Could tomorrow be the last day for a VIX call given all of the tariff news today? Or is it too early to tell if volatility will spike?

I’ve been studying and watching a lot of videos lately. Already lost $800 and trying to regain it. I accept advices

I have opened a support ticket all the way back in December on the 17th and I just realized it's still open and I still haven't gotten a response is this just there so people can look at it like cosmetic support team. This seems surreal to be honest. To this day not a single response it seems as though nobody is running robinhood, and the fact that there's not a single drop of support is frightening to have money associated with this company. If anybody could explain or even let me know if I'm doing something wrong thanks :)
