Food for Theta's One-Year Anniversary!
I nearly forgot! It's officially been one entire year since I first launched Food for Theta. I truly can't believe an entire year has already passed. We've come a very long way, but there's still so much more to cover in 2020. Thanks to everyone that has been following along. I feel like writing about trading has helped me grow significantly as a trader, and I hope my experience can help you achieve your goals as well. Here's to another great year of trading and learning!
What's New From November?
Nothing But Rallies
This month, we saw a continuation of a massive rally with very little resistance. Not great for us volatility sellers. has been hovering near its lowest range for the entire year! I've got one sad slowly withering away. In anticipation of this worst case scenario, I kept the trade super small so it wouldn't do heavy damage to my P/L – especially right at the end of the year. I'm glad I made that choice! There's still a month left so I'm hoping more than ever that we start to see some exciting market action. I'm getting tired of sitting on my hands... being patient is tough!
New Article
Check out the article I wrote about This is an important strategy to know, especially as a trader with a small account. Short call verticals are one of the most effective ways to short the market with high odds of success and limited amounts of risk. They are highly versatile and often used as components to other more complex strategies. This strategy is one you'll want to know well.
It's never a bad idea to go back and review old articles as well. I'm constantly making small edits as I find areas for improvement. I am also doing my best to link all of my Glossary terms to relevant articles I've written, as well as outside content I find useful. It's still very much a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely. If you want to explore a specific topic, try looking it up in the Glossary! You might find something you've never seen before.

Wrapping Up November
November was a pretty slow month for trading but slow business is part of the game. Things will pick up again, and when they do we'll be ready! Until then, we just need to keep learning, stay and avoid acting out of boredom – it can be just as harmful as acting out of panic! As always, thanks for following along! I can't wait to see what 2020 brings. As an election year, it has potential to get a little crazy. One month to go... Let's enjoy it!
