This year I focused on the wheel strategy combined with some swing trading in options. From a low point of $87,000 in my brokerage account on February 11, after adding a $5,000 deposit, my account grew to $110,000. I then withdrew funds to pay for a new HVAC system in cash. Trusting the process and remaining patient has been key.

How does the Jade Lizard strategy eliminate upside risk? Can you explain the relationship between the net credit received and the width of the call spread?

I have been trading for nearly four years, with consistent profitability achieved in recent months. I now generate an average of 10,000 to 15,000 dollars per month in trading income while maintaining a well-paying corporate job.
