PhD in Economics · Options Trader since 2013

I have spent over a decade refining a single approach to generating consistent income from selling options on the S&P 500. This playbook is the result of 13 years of backtesting, live trading through COVID, the 2022 bear market, and the 2025 tariff crisis. I trade this strategy with my own capital. This is not theory—it is my livelihood.
