The market never promises certainty, it only offers choices:

Some choose to spread their bets, switching between multiple sectors and seizing every potential opportunity with a pulsating rhythm

Others choose extreme focus, staking everything on a single asset and trading deep pullbacks for the potential to double their returns

Two choices, two paths—yet this week, they converged at the same destination: both topped the returns leaderboard.

📈How much volatility are you willing to tolerate for returns?

📌No.1 Trader : YEOHJUNXIAN

This week, we’ve been watching a trader named YEOHJUNXIAN, whose performance has been exceptionally impressive.

Like a hunter darting swiftly between sectors, YEOHJUNXIAN has delivered a stunning report card—“178.10% return, 25.00% drawdown”—proving to everyone that high returns never come without turbulence.

❓How did YEOHJUNXIAN simultaneously engage across multiple fronts using a pure options strategy this week?

❓How did he manage to lock in a 178% return despite a 25% drawdown?

1️⃣ Performance Profile: High returns, high drawdowns—a risk-taker who thrives on high volatility and high rewards

  • TWR: +178.10%

  • Max Drawdown: 25.00%

Achieving an ultra-high return of 178.1% during the competition, accompanied by a 25% maximum drawdown, indicates an extreme offensive strategy under high volatility rather than steady accumulation. This reflects an extreme pursuit of return elasticity and a trading mindset willing to accept temporary drawdowns for directional judgments, focusing on capturing explosive opportunities rather than controlling volatility.

2️⃣ Strategy Structure: Pure options trading, long and short positions, with periodic periods of no open positions

  • Instrument Selection

long and short positions, covering multiple sectors including energy, technology, finance, and media

  • Examples of call option underlying assets: LNG, SNDK, GS

  • Examples of call option underlying assets: NFLX, SNDK

  • Time Structure

Highly concentrated expiration dates, focusing on specific time windows

  • Position Structure

Periodic full positions → Periodic empty positions, pulse-style trading

  • Capital Structure

Small account, high flexibility, no retained leverage

  • Risk Structure

High returns accompanied by high volatility; drawdown control relies on exiting positions rather than hedging

✅ Summary

A trader who uses options as a core tool and excels at capturing opportunities across multiple sectors.

With a relatively aggressive style, this trader leverages the high flexibility of a small account to pursue excess returns while accepting significant drawdowns through a strategy that spans multiple sectors, directions, and focused time windows.

The trading rhythm is distinct—take profits and exit, then wait with an empty position—characteristic of a typical pulse-style trader.

📌No.2 Trader : Atriston

When a performance report states “doubled in one week,” most people look on with envy; but when the words “36.30% drawdown” are equally prominent, the story becomes far more complex. Atriston, ranked 2nd this week, delivered just such a performance: returns dazzling enough to catch the eye, drawdowns stark enough to make one wince.

❓How did Atriston carve out a path to success?

❓How did they manage to double their capital while enduring a nearly 40% drawdown?

1️⃣ Performance Profile: High Returns, High Drawdowns — A High-Risk Trader Embracing Extreme Aggression

  • TWR: +103.13%

  • Max Drawdown: 36.30%

Achieving a high return of 103.13% during the competition, but accompanied by a maximum drawdown of 36.3%, reflects an extremely aggressive trading style: daring to hold positions during floating losses and daring to increase positions amid volatility, ultimately resulting in a doubled return.

2️⃣ Strategy Structure: Primarily index options trading, long and short positions, highly concentrated

  • Tool Selection

    SPY options serve as the core; nearly all profits stem from index option trading

  • Structural Characteristics

    Highly Concentrated

    The top 4 most profitable trades all came from SPY options, accounting for nearly 100% of total profits

    Long and Short Positions:

    Both call and put options were utilized, indicating independent judgment on market direction at different points in time, flexible switching, and keen market intuition

  • Diversified Expiration Dates

    Covers March 16, 19, and 20, demonstrating a rolling trading strategy with phased positioning and staggered profit-taking

✅ Summary

Focuses on index options but switches between long and short positions at any time; spreads expiration dates across multiple time points, placing bets in stages and harvesting profits in batches through rolling operations.

This allows for profit realization in different time windows but also means continuously bearing the pressure of market volatility on open positions; dares to use deeper market dips to seek double-digit returns, making them a focused, high-risk trader.
