Ladies and gentlemen, at 3:59 I wrote $965,000 or so of 0DTE MSFT puts and got a fill for .25 a piece. Since the msft increased slightly in the aftermarket instead of falling off a cliff, I have realized $500 from this trade.
While this technically breaks the minimum options profit rule, the fact that the $965k risk was within my personal risk tolerance (guh) makes it worthy.
TL:DR by risking $965k and putting myself into a margin callI, I have now secured 1/6th of the money I need to keep my family on insurance for another month.
Analysis: Banger.
