$20 per trade earned ๐ฝ๏ธ Swing Trading NVDA Cash-Secured Put Options: Using Small, Consistent Profits to Help Pay for One Personโs Meal
๐ Introduction One of my favourite options strategies is selling cash-secured put options on NVIDIA (NVDA). Instead of trying to predict the exact top or bottom of the market, I aim to collect option premium while managing risk carefully. In this case study, I sold one NVDA put option and later bought it back at a lower price, locking in a small but real profit. Although the profit from this trade was only US$20, I believe small gains can add up over time if risk is managed responsibly.
