☕ Profitable Sips from Options – My $1 Coffee Trick
In the fast-paced world of options trading, there’s something sweet about pocketing small, steady wins. This week, I turned a few quick trades on TIGR PUT options into what I proudly call my “coffee fund” – making about $1 every 2 days, enough to enjoy a fresh brew without dipping into my capital. Each trade yielded around $0.02–$0.03 profit, which translates to about 0.2% return every couple of days. It might sound small, but like compounding interest, the secret is in consistency and volume. 📈🔥

📊 June 2 – Sell to Start the Brew
On June 2, I kicked things off by selling 1 TIGR PUT option (strike $7.0, expiring 2025-06-20) at $0.06. With minimal capital tied up and low volatility risk, this put was just strong enough to earn me instant premium while staying close to the money for high time decay. Like grinding coffee beans, the initial prep was essential for that smooth profit.

💼 June 3 – A Quick Buy-Back for a Shot of Espresso
Just a day later, I bought back the same put for $0.03, netting $0.03 profit per contract. That’s a 50% return on the premium in 24 hours! In real-world terms? That’s one small but satisfying coffee paid for. The speed and margin safety make these tiny moves brilliant for consistent income. ☕⚡

💸 June 4 & 5 – Rinse and Repeat with TIGR $7.5 PUTs
I repeated the same play with TIGR 7.5 PUTs (expiring 2025-06-13). On June 4, I sold one for $0.07. Then, on June 5, I scooped it back for $0.05. That’s another $0.02 profit – a little less, but still worth it. In total, from just two sets of trades over four days, I banked $0.05 net gain.

✅ Result: One Cup, Zero Regret
That may seem like pocket change, but when you’re doing it every few days, that $0.02–$0.03 here and there adds up to $1 a week — enough to cover coffee every 2 days or reinvest into larger trades. The real win is learning discipline, working with low-risk setups, and developing a consistent cash-flow system even from micro-trades.

☕📉 Conclusion: A $0.05 profit might not sound flashy, but it’s 0.2% on $25-30 margin, and when you’re stacking small wins, they compound. Keep it consistent, and your next cappuccino could be brought to you by options premiums. 😉
