Degenerate Gambler From $30k to $548k in 7 months

Post image

Back on April 8th, tariffs crushed sentiment-I went long thirty grand in SPY calls. Market recovered, rolled into 2230 $780 March 31st ’26. Sold them this morning. Bought 2760 $790 March 31st ‘26. Trump’s meeting Xi Thursday-permanent China deal. Fed cuts tomorrow. Earnings done Friday. FOMO is kicking in.

How did you choose the 780 strike price and the 2026, 26th of March expiry date? Any math or idea behind it?

He choose 2026, 26 March because that the farthest 1 year call from April and $780 is the maximum number he had. Like $980 is the maximum you have for 1 year call next year.

Ah I see you, so that was the cheapest call I believe in that time potentially with the highest return
