Hey there, it’s Micah here… Last month, I hosted the 10X Option Workshop. Many people loved it, but I also heard from traders who felt it was too advanced. So today, I’m sharing my notes on options, starting from the very beginning of trading them. We’ll start at the foundation and cover the leverage points of call options, what they are, how strike price and expirations work, and why they matter. Why I Use Options Options give you something stocks can’t: leverage. Leverage lets you make a lot of money fast. But it also means you can lose fast. We call this directional leverage, it gives you limited downside risk and unlimited upside. Directional leverage is measured by the option Greek called Delta. Delta = how much your call option makes or loses for every $1 the stock moves. 100 shares of stock always equals 100 Delta. That’s a one-to-one relationship. Options are different: a call lets you control the same 100 shares for a fraction of the cost. You want lots of Delta because its what makes you money when a stock goes up. How to Get 30X the Delta Let’s walk through an example. Suppose I think AAPL is going to rise over the next few weeks. I can buy a call option that gives me bullish exposure for that entire period. Right now, this would cost less than $500 and provide me with about 50 Delta. To match that same 50 Delta with stock at $300 per share, I’d need to buy 50 shares, which would tie up $15,000 of capital. With the option, I’ve gained the same directional exposure for a fraction of the cost. That’s the first step in understanding the real power of options: capital efficiency and leverage. So one call option gives you the same exposure with 30X less capital. This is why I love options. And it’s why I get emails like this one: “I locked in this week with the DOJI Screener and the 10X training. I’m up over $10K for the week and it’s Wednesday.” Two Key Variables Every option you buy comes down to two main choices: 1. Strike Price The strike price is the agreed-upon price where you have the right to buy the stock. It’s the fulcrum of your trade. In our Strategy Lab tests, different strikes on the same signal produced outcomes ranging from modest gains to exponential returns. Choosing the right strike is your first layer of edge. 2. Expiration The expiration date is the deadline for your option. As time passes, an option’s time value decays, a factor called Theta. At WallStreet-io, we’ve studied how expiration length impacts returns, and we’ll share data showing why some expirations amplify profits while others quietly erode them. The Journey Ahead Our goal is to reach 10X Options. Today, we’ve taken the first big step in covering some basics. Tomorrow, we’ll review the next step: put options and the three main ways they’re used. One may surprise you. Trade On, Micah PS. Every great strategy we teach starts with these fundamentals. Tomorrow we’ll dive into put options, the other side of the coin, and explore how traders use them for protection, income, and profit. Once you see both calls and puts, you’ll be ready to start building your own trading plan.   Micah Lamar CEO WallStreet.io Micah@WallStreet.io Questions?
