Happy November!

 

The link to indicate your interest in my first options course of 2026 is still open!

 

A couple of things to note: first, I may need to shift the weekly live coaching sessions to Wednesdays (7 Jan to 25 Feb) instead of Thursdays, I'll confirm this before the end of December. The sessions will still be recorded and uploaded in 24 hours, so I hope this is not a big inconvenience. 

 

Second, one thing I didn't mention in last week's newsletter was the price - I'm keeping it at $899 USD for 2026, so everyone gets the 2 new modules added on basically for free. 

 

Do check out my FAQs page if you have other questions, and if it's not answered there, feel free to reply this email. 

 

A reminder that I will also be sending out another email to everyone who indicates their interest with an invitation to attend a live info session on 11 November at 9:30am on Zoom to find out more and ask questions. This session will not be recorded. 

 

This week:

$220 profit in DKS

If you've been following this newsletter for a while, you'd know I love put ratios. When the stars align, there's the possibility of making more than the initial premium on the trade, and even when they don't align perfectly, it usually ends up with 100% of the initial premium as profit, which is what happened on this trade. 

 

I took the opportunity to sell a $195/200 put ratio in DKS expiring Oct 17 for $220 in premium up front. 

 

In the best case scenario, if DKS drops somewhere between $195 and 200, I could possibly make more than $220 on this trade. 

The opposite happened and DKS pretty much moved up in one direction, which means the entire position expired worthless, and I kept 100% of the initial premium and made $220 on the trade. 

 

This is winning trade #8 of 8 in DKS so far in 2025, bringing in a total realized profit of $1,283. 

 

As mentioned at the top, the put ratio is one of my favorite strategies and one that I do teach in my options course as well - and it's generally worked out quite nicely. 

 

As always all the trades within this portfolio are updated in close to real-time to my private community (not recommendations). While I do share my own profit targets, they can of course be adjusted to meet your own risk profile as well.

$105 profit in MCD

The second trade today is in MCD, where I also sold a $290/295 put ratio expiring Oct 17 for $105 in premium up front. 

 

Unlike the earlier DKS trade, MCD did drop as low as $293.81 on Oct 9, which was a great spot to make extra profit on the trade.

Unfortunately the dip didn't last and MCD ended up at nearly $309 on Oct 17, which means yet again the entire put ratio expired worthless and all of the $105 premium was realized as profit. 

 

This does bring me to 5 wins from 5 trades in MCD this year, and a running realized profit of $868 so far. 

 

You can read about other MCD trades at the link below. 

Earnings season has delivered some nice opportunities for new trades, which was great for deploying capital. 

 

Just 2 months left in 2025 - definitely missing periods of increased volatility! 

 

Have a good weekend!
