About
Why this exists
I have a good job. I also have a plan to leave it. Selling options is how I'm trying to get there. Each week I get paid for agreeing to buy shares in companies I like at a lower price, or to sell shares I already own at a higher one. If it works, that money replaces my salary, and I swap the commute for a long trip across the world by road.
The milestones
- Earn my target in a single month. Done this year.
- Earn it three months in a row. Next year's goal.
- Earn a full salary's worth every month. The goal for 2029, and then I hand in my notice.
How I trade
I sell put options on US stocks I'd be happy to own. If the price falls and I have to buy the shares, I sell covered calls on them until they're sold. I follow written rules, and I post the trades that went badly too.
What you'll find here
A post every week: what I opened, what closed, what it earned and what I'd do differently. The trades and account pages keep the running totals.
Not financial advice
This is a personal journal, not advice. I am not a licensed financial adviser. Options can lose more than you put in, and my results say nothing about yours. Do your own research and talk to a qualified professional before you trade.
