π Why Spreads?
Spreads let you maximize potential returns if you can spot trends on a stock. Perfect for controlled growth.
π€ Whatβs the Catch?
As your account grows, placing larger trades becomes trickier. Bigger accounts need smarter strategies, more discipline, and (letβs be honest) a bit of luck.
π Example of a 30% Gain with a Spread
Letβs say you are bullish on $UBER and believe the stock price will end above $62 by Jan 10th 2025.
If you do a $61/$62 spread, it pays $24 for every $76 invested.
β If UBER closes above $62 β You earn 31.5% on your investment!
β If UBER is below $61.76 at expiration β You lose 100% of the investment.
πΉ You can close early for a smaller profit if the trade moves in your favor.
πΉ If the trend goes against you, you can close early to cut losses.

π₯ The Good & Bad of Spreads
β Good: You can be bullish or bearish and bet on your own price target by a set date.
β Bad: Timing is crucialβif you’re wrong, you can lose 100% of your investment.
