EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - Trade Breakdown: CRCL (Patreon)

A breakdown of my recent CRCL trade alert.

I know many of you were asking for yet another breakdown, so I worked w Jacob this morning on this and he nailed it.

Here are the KEY TRADING LESSONS from this 3 Legged Stool... my fave technique to PLAY WITH THE TABLES MONEY

1. Use Synthetic Longs to Exploit Imbalanced Option Pricing

• Construct a synthetic long by buying a call and selling a put at the same strike (e.g., Jan 2027 $150).

• If puts are expensive (due to fear and volatility from a falling price) and calls are cheap, you can open the whole trade for a small net debit.

• In this example, it cost only $3 net to control the position, setting a breakeven at $153.

2. Sell Options When Volatility Spikes

• Downside spike: Puts become expensive → Sell puts if you believe a bottom is near.

• Upside spike: Calls become expensive → Sell calls to capture high premiums.

• Selling during volatility spikes adds credits to your position and can eventually make it a net credit trade (getting paid to hold).

3. Time Entries Using Multi-Timeframe Analysis

• Start with higher timeframes (daily, 4-hour) for directional confirmation.

• Look for:

  • Mean reversion signals

  • Trend change confirmation

  • Oversold/overbought conditions

• Once confirmed, zoom into shorter timeframes (3–5 min) for precise entries.

IADSS MAKES THIS VERY EASY - PS THERE IS NO WAY I COULD TRADE LIKE I DO WITHOUT THESE TOOLS... NO WAY....

4. Lock in Gains by Layering Trades aka 3 LEGGED STOOL

• After opening a synthetic long, layer in call sales on short-term rallies.

• Example: Sold Jan 2026 $200 calls for $22.50 credit during an intraday spike — turning the overall trade from a $3 debit into a $19 net credit.

Again I play with the Tables Money... I learnt this back in the day when I was addicted to Craps in the 1990s... I flew to casinos at weekends to play exclusively and 9 times out of ten I walked away with nice weekend gainers... to the point where casinos either closed down the tables or told me I was not welcome. Happened in Tahoe Casinos all the time.

5. Repeat for Long-Term Positions

• Even if the stock stagnates or drops, repeatedly selling calls on spikes can offset costs until the position is fully covered or profitable.

• Works especially well for stocks with long-term bullish outlook but high volatility (e.g., mining stocks in past trades).

6. Follow a Structured Workflow

• Scan higher timeframes for mean reversion + trend change. 4 Hour is magical.

• Confirm entry zone using shorter timeframes. I like 5 min.

• Open position when volatility favors your trade structure.

• Sell premium on opposite volatility spikes to reduce or eliminate cost.

• Rinse and repeat — aim to turn positions into net credits.

Another one of my infinite money glitches that I share with you all.
