How did your trading journey begin?

I started in May 2018 with basic investing, buying occasional stocks. By the end of 2018 I moved to day trading stocks but struggled because equity trading wasn’t for me. The real turning point came when I discovered options contracts in June 2019.

What made you switch from equities to options?

With my $10,000 starting capital, options trading offered better leverage. While equity would require bigger positions for smaller percentage gains, options scalping let me achieve 5-10% daily ROI with controlled risk.
