First, I want to thank God for bringing us safely through another week. There is always something to be grateful for, and I’m grateful for the strength, protection, and blessings that carried us through. As we come to the end of this week, my prayer is for everyone in this community and for our families. May God watch over you and your loved ones, keep your homes filled with peace, protect you wherever you go, and give you strength for anything you may be facing. May He continue to bless your families with good health, happiness, love, and peace, and may the new week ahead bring better days, new opportunities, and many reasons to smile. May God continue to guide and protect each and every one of us. Amen. 🙏❤️ “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1 📊 NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE $GOOGL TRADE WITH THE COMMUNITY.. On September 10, I dropped two different $GOOGL$340 Call setups inside my trading community. The first was the $340 Call expiring October 2, 2026, at approximately $6.55. The second was the $340 Call expiring September 11, 2026, at approximately $0.44. Same stock. Same strike. Different expiration dates. And that difference matters a lot when trading options. I took both setups myself, but for this post I want to focus on the October 2 $340 Call and two member trades because their positions give us a better lesson than simply looking at my own profit. My October 02 2026 position was 100 contracts at an average premium of $6.55. $6.55 × 100 = $655 per contract $655 × 100 contracts = $65,500 The position was showing approximately +$20,750 in open profit, with a market value of approximately $86,250. That is my position, my account, my capital, and my risk. Now there were other members who took these $GOOGL setups too. I could have shared more winning screenshots, but I’m only using these two because they show something important: you can see the same opportunity and still choose a position size that fits your own account and risk tolerance. These members saw both $GOOGL signals I dropped: The first setup was: $GOOGL$340 CALL Expiration: October 2, 2026 Premium: $6.55 The second setup was: $GOOGL$340 CALL Expiration: September 11, 2026 Premium: $0.44 1️⃣ The First Member’s Screenshot She chose the September 11 $340 Call at approximately $0.44 because that setup made more sense for his account and the amount of risk she was comfortable managing. She took 40 contracts. $0.44 × 100 = $44 per contract $44 × 40 = $1,760 total position cost. She closed the position at approximately $2.01. Market value: approximately $8,040 Profit: approximately +$6,280 Return: approximately +356.82% 2️⃣ Now look at the second member. This member also saw both setups but chose the September 11 $340 Call, taking only 8 contracts at approximately $0.42. $0.42 × 100 = $42 per contract $42 × 8 = $336 total position cost. The option later reached approximately $2.11. Market value: approximately $1,688 $1,688 − $336 = $1,352 profit Return: approximately +402.38% And this is the part I really want you to understand. These were not the only members who made money, and they were not necessarily the biggest winners. I chose these two screenshots because the difference in their position sizes makes the lesson easy to see. One member used approximately $1,760. The other used approximately $336. Same stock. Same strike. Same expiration. Different account sizes and different position sizes. YOU DO NOT NEED $2,500 OR $5,000 TO START OPTIONS TRADING. You also don’t need to put your entire account into one trade. The important thing is learning how options work and understanding how much you are actually risking. Before entering any options trade, you should know exactly what you are buying, how much each contract costs, how many contracts you can reasonably afford, what can happen if the trade moves against you, and how much of your account you are willing to put at risk. A winning trade should never make you believe that taking oversized positions is the right way to trade. The goal is not simply to make money on one trade; the goal is to understand the trade, manage your risk, protect your capital, and build the discipline to keep trading when the market gives you another opportunity. That is why I always encourage people who are learning options to focus on understanding the process first and not get caught up comparing their account size or profits with someone else. Everyone has a different account, different risk tolerance, and different financial situation. Trade according to what you can responsibly manage, and remember that the same setup can be approached very differently depending on the person taking the trade. On my next post, I will be using these two members and their GOOGL trades to teach a REAL OPTIONS LESSON FOR BEGINNERS. We’re going to break down the trade step by step and focus on the things beginners need to understand before putting real money into options. I want this next post to be about education, understanding, and learning how to approach options with the right mindset, not simply looking at the profit and thinking about how much money you could have made. 🚨 STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT POST 🚨 EDUCATIONAL DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Everything shared in this post is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or options contract. Options involve significant risk and are not suitable for every investor. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The positions and screenshots shown are from individual accounts and reflect individual risk decisions. My position size is based on my own account, capital, experience, and risk tolerance. Please do not assume that you need to use the same amount of money or contracts. Always do your own research, understand the risks, and only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
