Big trap. Salute family. In your option masterclass, i love your call strategy. Its magic. Question: do you have a similar strategy for puts? Can you put it in your masterclass? Definitely would tap into that. Thanks
I’m indecisive trader and my Robin Hood account is in danger of being a play because I made too many trades in one day. I got about 1000 at the moment, trying to add to it. I definitely need a recipe.
I definitely appreciate your chart breakdowns, Trap! Because of my studying along with your guidance, I've switched my charts on Webull to straight candlesticks! 💪🏾⚖️💰
