$MSFT is at $376 this morning
You have 2 choices
Buy 100 shares for $37,600
OR
Sell a $375 cash secured put expiring in 2 weeks
And get paid $705 immediately 💰
Here’s what that means
You’re agreeing to buy $MSFT at $375
Which is already below today’s price
But because of volatility and time
You get paid $705 upfront
That’s nearly 2% in 2 weeks 🤯
Now let’s break outcomes down
If $MSFT stays above $375
You keep the full $705
No shares assigned
If $MSFT drops below $375
You get assigned at $375
But your real cost basis is $367.95
Because you already collected the premium
So you’re buying one of the strongest companies in the world at a discount
And let’s be real
$MSFT is a long term beast
Cloud with Azure ☁️
AI with OpenAI integration 🤖
Enterprise dominance that isn’t going anywhere
This is exactly how we play it
Get paid to wait
Lower your entry
Or keep the cash
That’s the power of options
My LEAP system broken down step by step:
Step 1: Build conviction first. Research the company deeply. If you wouldn't own shares for years, don't buy LEAPs on it.
Step 2: Wait for multi-timeframe RSI alignment. Daily oversold. Weekly stabilizing. Don't force entries.
Step 3: Price should be at meaningful support. Long-term support zones, prior consolidation ranges, or key moving averages.
Step 4: Check the IV environment. Low IV means cheaper premiums and a lower breakeven. If IV is elevated, sell puts instead.
Step 5: Confirm liquidity. Tight bid-ask spreads, strong open interest. Wide spreads on expensive LEAP contracts destroy your edge.
Step 6: Buy 360+ days out minimum. Give your thesis time to play out. Holding over one year qualifies for long-term capital gains.
Step 7: Pick your strike based on conviction. ITM for safety. ATM for balance. ~10% OTM for max leverage.
Step 8: Size it properly. No single LEAP should be large enough to damage your portfolio if it goes to zero.
Step 9: Scale out on strong gains to recover initial capital. Let the rest run with reduced risk.
Step 10: Have an exit plan before theta accelerates inside 60 DTE. Roll, sell, or exercise if deep ITM.
I only make a handful of LEAP trades per year. The patience to wait for genuine alignment is what separates a LEAP trade from a gamble.
Important: LEAPs are one tool inside a broader portfolio. I also own shares and sell options on the same names. The core of my system is long-term equity holdings, cash-secured puts, and the wheel. LEAPs are the selective add-on for high-conviction moments.

We locked into this perfectly timed breakout of $SPY today for a massive win! 💪
Here’s exactly how we did it…
We used the 15 minute chart and avoided all the chop by simply waiting for that candle to close above our key level (image 1) 📸
Once the candle closed we took our entry and used the 2 minute chart to lock into the move using the 13ema as our trailing stop (image 2) 📸
Below are the side by side charts exactly how I traded and alerted them.
Catching these moves off an alert is fun, but teaching others how to replicate this day after day is what Team2 does best!

This simple rule will save you a ton of money in trading
$SPY / $QQQ above the 21 EMA's = swinging longs
$SPY / $QQQ below the 21 EMA's = reducing risk
Making a simple plan on when to reduce risk has saved me a ton of pain over the last few years
I lost $1.4m trading in September.
- I increased risk due to a strong month in Aug ($900k)
- I got a bit biased due to rate cuts and assumed markets would sell off hard and fell in love with the “potential” outcome
- had a strong start to the month as well and didn’t know when to slow down. Played offense well and didn’t play defense when I needed too
- tilted a few days
- days where there were no trades, I forced trades
In simple theory, I was an idiot this month.
This is the other side of the “big” profitable trading days.
Will try to get a full write up/ breakdown on this month soon. Time to claw back from this drawdown 🫡
If I were a beginner with only $1k-$5k to invest, I would do two things.
1. I would focus on doing everything in my power to increase my income as quickly as possible. This is where the majority of my time and energy would be spent.
2. I would start learning how the market works by watching YouTube videos, reading books, using LLM’s to dive deeper into investment topics, and I would start dabbling in the markets.
The best and easiest brokerage to use for beginners is Robinhood.
I would put about 40% of my capital into $VOO, 20% into $QQQ, 10% into $BTC, 10% into $GLD, and the remaining 20% into growth stocks like $HOOD, $NBIS, $META, $NVDA, $ROOT, $HIMS, and $OSCR.
This is not financial advice, just what I would personally do if I was starting out on my investing journey.
Don’t be discouraged by down days.
You will have many.
Keep learning, keep refining your strategies, be patient, manage your emotions, and play the long game.
I've been able to make over $400k this month alone from the markets
