Trade to Win Star |@bonta: Seek stability against the trend, strategy is king.
In this stock trading competition, @Bonta distinguished himself with his strong background in project management within Singapore’s construction industry and his extensive experience in derivatives trading. Over 15 years ago, he began his options journey as a buyer after attending options investing courses. Following that, he transitioned to selling options through self-study and experimentation.
