$1K to $1Mil Challenge - My EXACT Trading Strategy
You ask, I answer! How can we trade in a way that we can get disproportionate returns for limited risk? Welcome to the (Burkett-ized) Barbell Strategy!
We steal a winning strategy from Hedge Fund and Philosophy legend Nicholas Nassim Taleb, which he operates on a monthly basis. Since buying calls and puts require massive, quick moves. We boil that down to 1 Day to Expiration (1 DTE) Strangles, and eventually straddles. What does this do for us?
1. Limits downside risk
2. Undefined upside returns WHEN we get the moves that we need, either direction.
As the account grows, we want to buy calls and puts at the exact same point (aka a straddle) due to its increased chance of profit and substantially higher payout. These do cost more, so we have to scale up to get there. Once these are in reach, we add more contracts but always limit our exposure to at maximum 10% of our portfolio value at any given time.

How To Trade Options WITHOUT Blowing Up A Small Account
Thank you for Watching! Please like and subscribe if you get value from these videos!
So a comment came in yesterday asking how we trade safely, so we don't blow up the account. If you play options like stock, you can vaporize an account in seconds.
So what keeps us from blowing up? Well, we use a (Modified) barbell strategy! This technique was popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Mark Spitznagel, and their fund Universa. We blend an approach of DEEP Out of the Money Puts and Out of the money calls. This allows us to take advante of leverage, holding the equivalent of thousands of dollars for very cheap.
We play deep out of the money puts and slightly out of the money calls because, as the saying goes, the market takes the stairs up and the elevator down.
Get the full details in the video! I will give a full portfolio updated at the end of the day!
Have a great weekend!

Can You ACTUALLY Get Rich Trading Options?
Today's video covers by far the most common question I receive about options - Can I get Rich Trading Options?
Well, the key is Time to Wealth. Surely, you have been investing in your 401(k), IRA, or maybe a brokerage account. You learn about options and want to know the true potential.
Today we break down why yes, options CAN make you rich, and can certainly out perform your 401(k). But the real question is HOW QUICKLY can you get rich using them?
Selling options is a great strategy for your retirement account due to its limited downside risk (when we sell verticals) and defined upside potential.
If we want to cut that time to wealth from DECADES to YEARS, though, we MUST be on the buy side. You need undefined upside potential, with limited risk. The gotcha: less likely to be correct.

Options Strategies - Why I ALWAYS Sell Options
Happy Friday!
The great thing about options is well... having options! Not only can we buy and sell, but we can also combine buying and selling puts and calls to end up with a wide variety of strategies. With so many options to choose from, it can be very difficult to decide what to do. Today we address:
Long/Short moves:
Buying Calls and Puts
Selling Calls and Puts
Vertical Spreads
Neutral Moves:
Strangles
Iron Condors
and how to define our risk (buying further out of the money calls (bearish) or puts (bullish) behind the At The Money Call/Put we first selected.
