Don't touch Options! Don't have children! Don't get married!
These are the three sentences I've heard the most in recent years. They all sound correct, Rational, safe, and not aggressive.But the question is—can your life really only choose the "simple options"?
Today, I want to discuss not 'persuading you to engage' or 'persuading you not to engage', but rather talk about: what is the true essence behind these things that are deemed 'untouchable'?

When I first started trading Options, I had some good luck. I made a few Call Options trades using moomoo and easily earned profits thanks to the bull market.I made 2 times, 3 times, and even up to 20 times.！My confidence skyrocketed immediately.

Until one time, I bought $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ The Call Options. During that time, TSLA had been adjusting continuously, yet there was a persistent belief: "It has dropped so much, it cannot avoid a rebound.。” “Elon Musk holds a press conference, and it can be pulled back in an instant.。”
The result is: I continued to average down my position without setting stop losses, and even bet most of my capital. I tolerated a floating loss of 20% all the way to 50%, until finally—the whole...

This vaults IBIT ahead of $Strategy (MSTR.US)$, the once-undisputed corporate leader in BTC holdings. The gap is particularly striking given that IBIT launched just 16 months prior—a testament to the e...
