💡 Trade Commentary
This trade demonstrates our core income strategy in action:
- We entered the trade to sell volatility and collect premium.
- As the market cooperated and $TEM stayed above the strike, time decay worked in our favor.
- We chose to close early and lock in profits rather than hold till expiry—managing risk and improving capital efficiency.
By managing early, we protect our gains and stay agile for future trades.
🔁 Strategy Reminder
We are not selling puts to buy shares at a discount.
Our mission: generate income and roll or close positions when the market gives us a reason—not because of mental stop losses or inflexible rules.
