印象最深的一次，是在美股财报季时买了某家科技股的call，当时基本面和市场情绪都指向利好，股价财报后确实大涨，但因为我买的执行价太激进，加上时间不够，结果几乎颗粒无收。这让我明白：方向正确不等于交易正确，期权更考验仓位管理和选择策略。
当然，也有过成功的例子。有一次在大盘恐慌时买入了保护性put，没想到市场真的出现急跌，那次收益虽然不算爆炸，但起码帮我对冲了持股的风险，也让我真正体会到期权的价值：它不是纯粹的赌博工具，而是一个风险管理的工具。
至于为什么很多人对期权犹豫，我完全能理解。复杂的定价模型、时间价值、波动率，这些听起来就让人头大。而且没有经验时，很容易把期权当成“翻本捷径”。我走过那段弯路，现在更清楚：如果不先建立清晰的规则和心态，期权只会放大亏损。所以我宁愿慢慢来，把它作为辅助工具，而不是孤注一掷的赌局。
The 5 Costly Mistakes section was a revelation, teaching me how misjudging a trade—like expecting the stock to exceed $100—limits upside. This insight prevented me from diving in unprepared, boosting my confidence to trade more strategically.
Inspired by the 10 Options Masters interviews to focus on stocks I believe in, the Covered Call fits perfectly. I’m excited to join this event, share my photo, and connect with others—hoping to win an Options Strategy Mouse Pad to stay motivated!

My biggest struggle? Knowing which strikes are safe, when to roll, and how to avoid getting stuck in bad trades. Everyone online says “just follow the Wheel,” but no one explains the real risks — like assignment traps or capital getting tied up.
I haven’t read the Handbook yet, but I hope it breaks all this down clearly. I want to trade with confidence, not confusion
Learning to roll my option, looking at the entry price and the expiry date and more! I like to learn a lot more and have been trying to get more coin to redeem the book.
Will be nice to win it now so I can even explore more!
Check them in the history - “community distribution“ or the notification~
most painful lesson is from holding long dated AAPL Call@220 vs near dated calendar options. Approaching maturity, I confused trading with investing and ignored a strong intuitive sense to close them when price was pushing 250. I wanted to exercise them, thinking 220 would be a bargain. then the tariffs happened and the rest is history.
