$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 rei-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 reinforced one timeless lesson for options traders: volatility is only an opportunity if risk is defined.

My standout trade was not a spectacular win, but a well-timed hedge. Buying index puts ahead of the April tariff shock meaningfully cushioned the portfolio when correlations spiked and liquidity thinned. The hedge paid for itself and, more importantly, preserved decision-making clarity when emotions were running high.

The hardest lesson came from the AI surge. I exited a profitable call spread too early, underestimating how long momentum and narrative can overpower valuation. It was a reminder that being “right” on fundamentals does not always mean being right on timing.

If 2025 taught me anything, it is this: options work best not as lottery tickets, but as tools for asymmetric risk control. Survival first, upside second.
