Hey traders,
Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what lies ahead and what you can do today to set yourself up for success.
Think about everything I taught you in 2024: spotting stocks in trends, using solid income strategies like covered calls, naked puts, and credit spreads to generate income.
These are more than just tools — they’re your edge in the market.
But here’s the thing: None of it matters unless you take action!
The Cost of Waiting
How many opportunities did you let pass last year because you didn’t act?
I know someone who took the leap, applied these strategies, and turned 2024 into a banner year — earning over $800,000.
Now that’s not a typical result, so don’t think that I’m promising you’ll get started and get those kinds of returns.
And you might not even be aiming for numbers like that — but the principle is the same: You can’t reap the rewards if you don’t get in the game.
The good news? It’s not too late.
The First Step to Confidence
Confidence doesn’t come from theory; it comes from doing.
But here’s the thing: You don’t need to risk a single dollar to get started.
Open a brokerage account and start paper trading. ThinkOrSwim, for example, has a great platform for this. So do lots of the most popular platforms.
Practice bringing up an options chain, executing trades, and testing strategies. Go through the motions until it feels like second nature.
Or just start with this super simple exercise.
This is how you build the confidence to see an opportunity and seize it without second-guessing yourself.
What’s Waiting in 2025
2025 is shaping up to be an incredible year for high-probability trades — simple, income-generating opportunities that can help you achieve your goals.
But it all starts with one thing: Taking that first step.
Let’s make this your year. Get started today. Open that account. Begin paper trading. Learn the strategies.
By this time next year, you’ll thank yourself for taking the leap.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
