$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 rei-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 reinforced one lesson for me. Options are tools for risk control first, profit second.

My standout trade was not a spectacular win, but a protective put on a tech-heavy position ahead of April’s tariff shock. The hedge capped downside when correlations spiked and liquidity thinned. It bought time, clarity, and psychological space to act rationally rather than react emotionally.

The harder lesson came later in the year from an overconfident short-dated call during an AI momentum phase. The thesis was right, the timing was not. Volatility collapsed faster than expected, and theta did the damage. A reminder that conviction without patience is expensive.

If 2025 taught me anything, it is this. In volatile markets, the best options trades are often the ones that keep you in the game long enough to compound.
