• TheTradingDad OP All Also Taken : True that! you do need to have some capital to get start to see some meaningful returns. Start small and start now so that when you have more capital you already have the experience and with the right investments you can start buidling your pot and have it work harder for you.

• TheTradingDad OP All Also Taken : started with SGD$30k buying $American International Group (AIG.US)$ in 2006-2027 and in 2008  lost over 95% Got sacred and missed out one of teh greatest recovery of the markets. Got no knowledge or idea and just gamblibg. then tried her and there and testing the market over the year and seriously  restarted in 2021 (~$50-$80k) and deep dive into learning how to trade in 2022. and added more capital slowly allow the months as i got more confidence. All these 21 years in Financial planning but investing and trading your own money is a total different game. the real change was to retire from my work and busines and we did that end of 2024. Grateful and thank for this whole journey.

• TheTradingDad OP 71551868 : Hi
  if i am selling credit spreads, i like to keep the spread wider and lesser contracts. Example: 340/290 x 1 contract instead of 340/330 x 5 contracts. Even though you are risking $5000 by for smaller spread you have much higher chance of a max loss. for instant if the stock drops to 330. You will experience max loss for 340/330 and only loss $1000 for 340/290.
  DTE really depends on the type of stocks, earnings coming, IV and IV rank. My fav aroudn 30-45 DTE

• TheTradingDad OP fuga : For me Tesla numbers are looking better last few Qs. but depending on the next few Qs out look to see if the trend continues and be profitable consistently. AAPL on the other hand is facing some challenges on their iPhone sales. and EPS growth looks slowing from past Qs. so i wont hold on at these levels and look at price if they come down to much better levels for some entries.

• TheTradingDad OP Keiith : Will still be looking out for Tech/AI related sectors as well as some consumer staple and discretionary stocks to diversify my investment portfolio. My trading portfolio will be focusing on options strategies to enhance my total portfolio. These are my plans and set-ups going into 2025 but will stay flexible and ready to change as I am expecting a more volatile year ahead.

• TheTradingDad OP 102087425 : My Wheel Strategies  depends on how bad I want to get the stock or the IV environment. Usual set up 30-45 DTE, 16 Delta and aim to get at least 1% premium, manage at half the life of the option and profit take 50%. I don’t do much Leaps and credit spreads wide spread same DTE and Delta can be slightly higher depending on the IV and IV rank. Cover calls 30-45 DTE and at least 16 Delta away. Managing the position will be more discretionary as things changes fast example like Rolling and cutting loses.  Each one’s style will be different base on their risk tolerance etc. these are some examples for knowledge and practice makes perfect. I have been trading options for 2 years and learnt a great due from my loses lol. Hopefully I can find sometime to write on each of these strategies in more details next year all the best man!

• TheTradingDad OP 102087425 : The safest way to do wheel is to have the intention to acquire the stock. And once i set the target price that i am comfortable to be assigned I don’t adjust. after assigned you sell calls against it. If not assign, repeat. 16 Delta is around one SD and gives you above 80% POP. That’s my preferred delta. I close my position once I hit 50% profit.

• TheTradingDad OP : Happy to see most are doing well for Nov. Keep up the good works guys! All the best for Dec 2025!
  For me all these fruits are from many months of hard work building up the portfolio and not overnight or with 1-2 stocks.
  Hard to share what I did because it’s too many. But the fundamentals never change. For me only invest and trade in great companies with good cash flow and consistent grow for the past 5-10 years and good future potential earnings of above GDP growth. Great place to start are companies from S&P 500 and NDX 100
  My trading is 80-90% options so for starters can go thru all the moomoo educations on value investing and options trading. Lots of good stuffs there.

• TheTradingDad OP : Hey man. For options selling my experience for the past 2 years using we have more premium selling puts due to put skew as protection against drawdown usually cost more. But really depends on the market conditions so no one theory fits all at any given time. Have to test it out and every day it’s quite different.
  For buying LEAPs call options. Personally for me I do not do that too much unless the stock is very under value and the market conditions is right. Directional trades for me are harder to profit due to the Theta decay is working  against you and being directionally right over time is 50/50 so is tougher.
  I also do not do much back testing as the results usually mix when trading live once emotion and other factors sets in. Good for just testing the idea and how to execute the strategy but to base on the result of back test and trade live, the P/L could be very different.
  Hope these helps! All the best for Q4 bro
