You only need like $50 to join theta gang

I tried joining earlier this year but I lost my entire $100K account selling TSLA call spreads. Probably should start with $50 next time and not sell calls on a stock that’s mooning either. Oh, and position sizing is important.

Yeah if you’re putting $100,000 into a credit spread, you can lose all of it by expiration. You can blow yourself up just as fast as with FDs.
Try doing some 30/16 delta iron condors first.

In the future: it’s easier to deal with high liquidity, low price (like literally small number), and narrow strike differences in your spread, especially when you first start. The whole point of spreads is to reduce risk, but a $900/share stock with $5 spread strikes is always going to require a lot of risks.
It’s also not a great idea to be risking 100% of your account. I only revolve about 5% of my portfolio through theta strats.
Also, don’t continue digging into a losing strategy, just loose and walk away.

It’s more like with about $500, you can start to sell options to people and sometimes make an extra $30 a month.
Kamikaze_Cash t1_j2chbrz wrote
You can sell $1-wide call credit spreads with $50 of collateral and make $25/week.
