Week of Oct 5 to Oct 9, realized per Robinhood:

$MU shares +$5,185
$CEG shares +$2,907
$MU calls +$3,130
$VRT put +$5

Total +$11,227 (+6.38%)

The plan: sell cash secured puts on names I'm happy to own, sell calls against shares, take profits when they hit the target, free the collateral and repeat. I have puts open on CEG and VRT expiring Oct 16.

Happy to answer questions on how I size and manage these. Back at it Monday.

Not financial advice. Options carry risk. Results are not typical. Realized, before fees.

September has been a solid month. I’m currently at +$10,890.91 in realized profit from closed trades only — not counting any unrealized gains or open positions.

Some of the closed trades:

- MU shares: +$3,883.91
- MU $1,100 Call (2/19/27): +$2,640
- Additional MU option premium / closed trades throughout the month

I did take some “L’s ” biggest was on a roll up because I panicked like a little “BITCH” should’ve stuck to my guns let me get assigned!!

Here they are for my naysayers…

- MU $975 call: -$260
- MU $1,010 call (9/18): -$2,367
- HOOD $110 put: -$6

A few smaller losses along the way, which are already included in the $10,890.91 net realized total.

My focus has been pretty simple: take profits, harvest option premium, cut/reposition when necessary, and keep compounding the account.

Not every trade wins, and I’m not trying to pretend it does. I’m focused on what the account looks like after the winners AND losers are counted.

📈 **September realized P&L: +$10,890.**91
Not financial advice. Just sharing my own trades and results.

Been running covered calls against 300 shares of MU and finally got the pullback I was waiting for.

This morning I bought back three short calls:

• MU 9/14 $1,010 CC — sold at $25.05, bought back at $11.70 → ~$1,335 gross profit
• MU 10/16 $1,100 CC — sold at $53.04, bought back at $41.86 → ~$1,118 gross profit
• MU 2/19/27 $1,200 CC — sold at $122.03, bought back at $102.53 → ~$1,950 gross profit

Total premium harvested: roughly $4,403 before fees.

The bigger win for me is that all 300 MU shares are uncovered again, so I can wait for another strong move/IV expansion and sell calls again instead of sitting through the full expiration cycle.

I originally had much larger harvest targets on the longer-dated calls, but MU finally started slipping and I decided to bank the profit rather than get greedy. The 9/14 was also getting close enough to expiration that I preferred taking the win and clearing the obligation.

I take quick premium when the market gives it to me—I’ll harvest 15–25% fast on longer-dated covered calls, push for 50%+ when the setup keeps working, and close aggressively when theta and a pullback line up in my favor.

August MTD Update — $12,547.73 Realized Through 8/27

Posting this mainly to document the journey and keep myself accountable. Not financial advice — just sharing what I’m doing and what’s working for me.

August so far:

• $12,547.73 realized profit
• 9 green trading days
• Mostly covered calls / premium harvesting
• A few stock trades mixed in
• Multiple tickers, but MU has done most of the heavy lifting
• I’m generally buying calls back once I’ve captured enough premium instead of waiting for expiration

A few of the bigger realized wins:

Aug 24–27: +$6,689
Aug 19: +$745
Aug 14: +$58
Aug 12: +$480
Aug 11: +$1,444
Aug 10: +$1,113.40
Aug 6: +$424
Aug 4: +$1,110.33
Aug 3: +$484

Total: $12,547.73 realized

The strategy has been pretty simple: sell calls against shares I already own, let volatility work in my favor, harvest the premium when I get a decent move, free the shares up, and redeploy.

I’m not trying to squeeze every last dollar out of every contract. I’d rather consistently take 25–50%+ of the premium when the opportunity is there and keep the capital moving.

Still refining it. Still tracking everything. Still learning.

Process > predictions.

And yes, there’s a little red bar in there 😂

I took a -$38 loss because I broke one of my own rules and rolled a position up when I shouldn’t have.

Nothing catastrophic. Just a good reminder that the rules only work when you actually follow them.

I could easily leave the $38 out and just post the green trades, but that defeats the whole reason I’m documenting this.

One dumb-a$$ -$38 reminder included. 😂

Still learning. Still refining. Still executing.

Process > ego. Follow the damn rules.

Options involve substantial risk. These are my personal results only and are not financial advice.

August MTD update through 8/27.

Realized P&L: +$12,547.73

This month has mostly been covered calls on positions I already own, especially MU, with a few TSLA/SPCX trades mixed in.

My approach has been pretty simple: sell premium, let time/volatility work, buy the calls back once I’ve captured enough of the premium, free the shares up, and redeploy.

A few of the better harvests this month:

• MU $1,010C — +55.96%
• SPCX $180C — +39.93%
• MU $1,015C — +30.06%
• MU $970C — +29.86%
• MU $1,200C — +20.85%
• MU $1,020C — +19.17%

This past week alone was +$6,689 realized.

I’m not trying to squeeze 100% out of every contract. If I can capture a meaningful part of the premium, reduce risk, and recycle the capital, I’m good with that.

Still tracking everything and refining the process. One good month doesn’t prove a strategy, so the goal is consistency over a much larger sample size.

Not financial advice. Not recommending any of these trades. Just documenting my own results, process, wins and mistakes. Options involve significant risk and these results are not guaranteed or necessarily repeatable.

Weekly recap. $6,689 realized profit over the past week, mostly harvesting Micron covered calls.

Closed trades:

• MU $1,500C 9/17/27 — +$934 | 7.21%
• MU $1,050C 1/15/27 — +$1,047 | 8.77%
• MU $1,020C 9/18 — +$563 | 19.17%
• MU $1,015C 10/2 — +$1,880 | 30.06%
• MU $1,200C 11/20 — +$1,185 | 20.85%
• MU $1,010C 9/2 — +$1,080 | 55.96%

Total realized: $6,689

Same basic approach I’ve been working on: sell calls against shares I already own, take advantage of premium/volatility, and buy them back when enough of the premium has been harvested rather than automatically holding until expiration.

Some I harvested early at 7–9%, others I let work into the 20–30% range, and one hit almost 56%. The goal for me isn’t squeezing every dollar out of every contract. It’s realizing profit, freeing the shares back up, and looking for the next opportunity.

Still refining the system and tracking everything. Good week, but one week doesn’t prove anything. Consistency over a much larger sample is what matters.

Not financial or trading advice. Just documenting my own trades and results. Options involve risk, and these results obviously aren’t guaranteed or necessarily repeatable.

MU COVERED CALL HARVEST — UPDATE 📈
Took advantage of MU’s weakness today to buy back all three covered calls and lock in the premium.

$1,010 Call 9/2
Sold: $1,930
Bought back: $850
Realized: +$1,080

$1,200 Call 11/20
Sold: $5,685
Bought back: $4,500
Realized: +$1,185

$1,015 Call 10/2 — UPDATE
Sold: $6,255
Bought back: $4,375
Realized: +$1,880
TOTAL REALIZED: +$4,145 💰

The goal wasn’t to sell MU. The goal was to monetize the shares while I held them.
I sold calls when the premium was rich, waited for MU to pull back, then bought those calls back cheaper and kept the difference.

Now the short calls are gone, the shares are free again, and I can wait for the next opportunity to sell premium.

Own the shares. Sell the premium. Harvest the decay. Reset. Repeat.

August MTD: +$5,812 Realized | 10 Wins, 1 Loss

August so far:

💰 Realized P&L: +$5,812.73
✅ 10 winners / 1 loser
📈 90.9% win rate

Still sticking to the same basic approach: mostly harvesting premium, taking profits when they’re there, and redeploying instead of trying to squeeze every dollar out of a trade.

Biggest realized win so far was +$1,444 on MU.
Only loss was -$46.

Nothing flashy. My loss was due to not sticking to my rules and panicked like a little bit!ch.

Hold the line! #happytrading

+$3,323.33 Realized This Week.
Mostly trading $MU.

Closed several winning call swings and currently still have open MU call positions working.

The goal isn’t to catch every dollar; it’s to generate consistent cash flow, free up capital, and repeat the process.

Not financial advice. Just sharing my trading journal.

Wrapped up July with $25,338 in realized gains.

25 closed trades
20 winners / 5 losers
80% win rate
Most of my trades were in $MU, $TSLA, $NVDA, $APP, and $HOOD.

It wasn’t a perfect month. I took a -$2,270 loss on $APP, but I didn’t let one trade turn into a bigger problem. That’s probably the biggest thing I’ve learned this year; take the loss, move on, and focus on the next high-probability setup.

A lot of the gains came from sticking to the same names over and over instead of chasing whatever was trending that day. I’m trying to get really good at trading a handful of stocks instead of knowing a little about hundreds of them.

(I’m not going to lie and say the $MU dive was not nerve wrecking)

I’m not posting this to flex. I’m posting it because I like documenting the journey, and I know there are traders here with way more experience than me.

If you see something I could improve risk management, entries, exits, position sizing, whatever; I’d genuinely appreciate the feedback.

Again; I’m always trying to get better.

Not financial advice. Just sharing my month and what I’m learning along the way.

I’m on vacation in Banff, Canada, trying to enjoy the mountains, while watching my account go from roughly $245K to around $125K.

Not gonna lie… it sucked.

My biggest position is Micron (MU). My average cost is around $945/share, and at one point MU traded all the way down into the mid $700s intraday. Seeing that kind of unrealized loss isn’t something they teach you how to stomach.

Yesterday at 5:44 PM MT, I texted my mentor.

I asked if investors would even come back after the beating the chip sector took.

The response was simple:

“I would. I spent over $4M on MU.”

“The market is in capitulation… it throws a tantrum, but it will bounce back sooner or later just like nothing happened.”

That message was enough for me to stop staring at my phone every five minutes and actually get some sleep.

Before bed I checked the after-hours action. Samsung had turned green and SK Hynix wasn’t getting destroyed the way it had been earlier. It wasn’t proof that MU would recover, but it was enough to tell me the panic might be easing.

I woke up to green.

By the end of today MU had ripped back into the high $880s, and instead of panic selling, I did what I’ve been trying to train myself to do…

I sold two covered calls.

MU $1,005 Calls
Expiration: August 5
Premium collected: $8.80/share ($880 per contract)

That brought in $1,760 immediately while still giving MU more than another $100 of upside before assignment. (looking to harvest 80-90%)

For me, that was getting back in the saddle.

My takeaway

This market reminded me of something important.

Unrealized losses hurt.

A lot.

But if you still believe in the company and the thesis hasn’t changed, sometimes the hardest thing to do is also the right thing…

Hold your position.

Micron is still the leading U.S. memory manufacturer. AI infrastructure isn’t slowing down, and the demand for high-bandwidth memory and DRAM isn’t disappearing because of two ugly trading sessions.

I’m not saying every stock comes back.

I’m saying don’t let fear make the decision for you.

Sometimes the market throws a tantrum.

Sometimes your job is simply to survive it.

Today was a good reminder that patience can pay and owning your STOCK!

People always ask, “How much capital is your mentor working with…..

They’re asking the wrong question.

The better question is:

What process is she following?

A mentor of mine just shared two realized profit updates:

$26,648.18 realized.
Later, another $29,142.41 realized.
That’s $55,790.59 in realized profits.

She told me roughly 90% came from selling covered calls on TSLA and flipping MU on swing trades.

The other 10% came from a call option on COP (ConocoPhillips).

That completely changed how I think about trading.

I used to chase the next big winner. Now I focus on capital velocity generating consistent cash flow, redeploying capital, and repeating the process over and over.

The biggest investment I ever made wasn’t in a stock.

It was finding the right mentor.

Not financial advice. Just sharing a lesson that’s changed the way I trade.
