The gift I’m giving is: TSLA My profit: Held for 1 year, profit >50% Why I’m giving it: ill keep this short - i own a tesla car and its the best car ever! its also a bet for the future
My biggest struggle in options trading is fighting greed. I had Tesla calls going into earnings, sitting on solid profits. I could have cashed out, but instead I doubled down and held through the announcement. Earnings came out, IV crushed, and my “sure win” turned into an expensive lesson overnight. That trade taught me the hardest part of options isn’t the math — it’s the discipline. You can be right on direction, but if you let greed or fear drive the wheel, the Greeks don’t matter. Options don’t just measure volatility; they measure whether you can control your impulses. That’s the real challenge I’m still learning to master.
