    I would NEVER EVER trade 100%, let alone 2X of my cash. I did trade the Wheel last year with 2x my cash. BIG MISTAKE!!! Ended up being assigned and despite stocks were good stocks (TSLA, AMD, DIS…) they dropped significantly in Q1 this year and got margin called and lost so much $. I would NEVER do that again.

    Thank you Markus. It is very important to become debt free before trading and even better when your home is paid off. It can be done. We used the Dave Ramsey program and became debt free including the house in 12 years. Less stress and keeps emotion out of trading. Wishing everyone the best! t.

    Howd the college trip go with your son? I have 5 little kids lol oldest is 13 so that moment is rapidly approaching. I work as an ICU nurse make good money I'm just hoping to make enough to scale back. Paying all my Bill's with trading would be a huge accomplishment. Today was a huge accomplishment actually selling my calls without waiting for the gains to get bigger. I sold at 50 percent, but in the past had waited on the same stock and lost the money. I almost got killed ran out the gate and bought 26 positions 2 mos ago slowly decreasing and adding better strategies. Spend much more time watching and reading. Fortunately didnt lose a ton, but it was very reckless.

    I personally wouldn't worry about that. I would start with a small amount like $5k and grow it. You see what you can do to grow it, know what percentage you earn and can figure what amount you need to grow it to maintain the living style you want.

    Markus how do you prepare for taxes? If you make 15k do you set a side 5k every month? Or do you sell some positions when the taxes are due next year?

    • @richardthorne2804

      Given his LLC business and RE holdings I guarantee you he doesn’t have to withhold $5K of that amount. I hope he responds but im pretty sure given all that above he does his taxes quarterly but its not in isolation of this income strategy. I do my taxes quarterly and i have consulting income and trading income combined.

      In an IRA you don't worry about profits until taxes are a factor. It's best to plan ahead to avoid penalties by the IRS. You can increase you withholdings or send the IRS money monthly or quarterly. Best to talk to a tax accountant.

    I tried to make sense of your money management fixed ratio technique from your book that I purchased on amazon - the wheel strategy. How does profit per week go up so fast? It's driving me nuts as I cannot make sense of your excel.

    Markus, I was wondering if we can grow an account consistently via swing trading instead of day trading options which many people are doing on TH-cam. This is because some of us folks have day jobs and couldn't be sitting on the computer all day.
    Could swing trading be done to grow an account? Maybe via bull call spreads, bear put spreads or even naked calls and puts

    Probably a newb question but how are you able to trade for income - taking 30% profits - & NOT have Capital Gains Tax eat your ROI back down to a 5% net?
    Your accountant must be as ingenious as you.

    30% ROI on BP... 60% on cash... this is a joke. Don't listen to this guy. Totally misleading approach and absolutely ill-advised about the one will have to take to make such a return. He doesn't even talk about the tax impact. Come on
