INSIDE THE GUIDE
What concepts and decision checks does the guide cover?
The guide covers the practical concepts behind expiration-day trading: time is the constraint, risk is defined before entry, structure is matched to the thesis, and every trade is reviewed against its written plan.
Define risk before entry
Know maximum loss, target, time stop and invalidation before submitting the order. Avoid discovering the risk during a fast move.
Match structure to thesis
Long premium, vertical spreads and neutral structures express different views and carry different execution and assignment risks. An AI stock breakout scanner finds the candidates; structure expresses the thesis.
Review the trade
Record the thesis, structure, fill, exit and deviation from plan so the process can improve independently of one outcome.
