Year-End Options Recap: Share Your Most Memorable Trade of 2025!
Hey Tigers 🐯 2025 is wrapping up—and what a whirlwind year it has been for global markets.
From April’s tariff-driven selloff to Big Tech’s AI-fueled surge, from the Fed’s surprise rate cuts to crypto smashing all-time highs… volatility was the main theme of 2025. And in markets like these, options traders were right at the center of every twist and turn.
The Fed delivered rate cuts.
Tech stocks roared nearly +60% off spring lows, hitting record highs in October.
Concerns over an “AI bubble” then triggered the worst week for tech since April.
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ sank sharply in April before rebounding toward double-digit gains by year-end.

Even so, I still trade mostly the underlying stocks because I’m not fully comfortable with the complexities of options yet. I prefer to take things slow while I learn about strike selection, expiration management, and position sizing, so sticking with shares kept my portfolio steady through the year’s volatility.
AI was the biggest driver of my portfolio in 2025, and starting my options journey with Palantir felt fitting. The sector’s strength carried my performance, and I’m looking forward to building on what I learned as I continue improving my option strategies in 2026. I’m excited to take more calculated option trades as my confidence grows. With more practice, I hope to make options a bigger part of my overall strategy.
