BTC options trading review: The direction has been finally confirmed this time. During the process, the price was repeatedly tested within the oscillation range twice, until Friday when the 3D cycle volatility indicator hit a bottom signal and the small-scale pattern completed, then the strategy was re-executed.

Specific execution: sell one contract of 90000C and buy two contracts of 94000C in a ratio, creating a structure with controlled downside risk and potential upside gains, but with some loss within the oscillation range. Subsequently, a reverse pyramid approach was used to gradually add more call options—95000, 96000, 98000—locking in the theta decay over the past three days completely at zero.

The remaining position depends on the subsequent breakout direction; follow the plan to take profits, and the rest is a matter of probability.

Hmm, this wave of momentum is quite good, but the operation that completely locks in the theta decay is indeed a bit harsh.

Oh wow, this move really secured the position. The signal on Friday was the real confidence booster. Just hold steady like this and let time do its work. Being tested twice repeatedly is a bit annoying, but this pyramid approach isn't bad. I'm relieved now that theta is fully locked in. Options should be played like this—if the direction is right, you just lie back and win. Just wait for the breakout. It's a matter of probability... depends on whether the market is willing to cooperate. By the way, where did you set your take-profit level?

Friday's move was indeed well executed. I also waited until volatility bottomed out before taking action, as it's too easy to be repeatedly tested. The inverted pyramid shorting strategy is brilliant. I need to learn the idea of locking theta decay to zero thoroughly. It's a matter of probability... In simple terms, it's about betting on the right direction. Now, it's all about whether it breaks through.

ngl the pyramid stacking on those shorts sounds good in theory until theta eats you alive during consolidation... learned this the hard way lmao

Speaking of which, this wave of 3D bottoming out is indeed fierce. I was also waiting for this signal. The idea of the ratio price difference is really solid, and the risk is indeed locked in. Waiting for a breakout, it's just a game of probability. Let's just watch the show.

This move definitely has some rhythm to it, but I didn't quite understand the part about locking theta to zero... Is it about taking all the decay profits or what?
