Strategy Architecture
Which options strategies fit your capital, broker, time horizon and risk profile? What is traded, and what is deliberately not traded?
1:1 for experienced investors and entrepreneurs
Options selling at institutional standard.
No signals. No course. No market opinion to copy. You work directly with an economist, entrepreneur and full-time investor on a robust process for premium, risk, margin and execution.

The core
From instinct to desk process.
Every session should improve a real investment decision: entry, risk, size, roll logic, rejection criteria or review.
- Regime: volatility, trend, correlation and earnings context
- Risk: delta, DTE, margin, drawdown budget and concentration
- Execution: order logic, weekly plan, checklists and journal
- Review: identify errors, refine rules, stabilize the process
What you buy
No motivation. No entertainment. Precise work on capital.
Professional Rejection
The largest edge is often not the entry, but the non-trade: IV too low, wrong regime, earnings risk, sector concentration, too little premium for the risk.
Desk Routine
A repeatable weekly rhythm for screening, sizing, order entry, monitoring, rolling, exiting and review. Less drama, more discipline.
Individual Desk Mentoring
The right approach starts with account, objective and risk capacity.
There is no single options strategy that fits every investor. The mentoring first clarifies which premium process fits your capital, broker, time budget, risk tolerance and objectives. Only then do we work on specific trades.
- Which strategy fits account, margin, experience and time commitment?
- Which trades should be used, and which should be excluded?
- How large can a position be relative to the total portfolio?
- How are entry, adjustment, exit and review organized in practice?

Illustrative Trade Cards
How a trade becomes a professional decision case.
The following cards show typical 1:1 work in anonymized form. They are not examples to copy; they show how a concrete situation is translated into a decision, a risk budget and a review process.
Trade Card 01
Cash-secured put for a larger portfolio.
Situation: idle cash should work harder without allowing one underlying to dominate the portfolio.
- Question: Which size is defensible?
- Focus: underlying, margin, assignment and exit.
- Outcome: a clear yes/no rule instead of instinct.
Trade Card 02
Credit spread instead of naked option exposure.
Situation: the investor wants to collect premium but limit open tail risk.
- Question: What does the risk limit cost?
- Focus: risk/reward, width, duration and liquidity.
- Outcome: a structured trade or deliberate rejection.
Trade Card 03
Managing an existing position after a move.
Situation: a position has moved materially; the question is whether to hold, roll or close.
- Question: Is the remaining risk still paid?
- Focus: thesis, duration, fees and capital usage.
- Outcome: a decision with a review note.
The cards are illustrative examples of the mentoring workflow. They are not investment recommendations, financial analysis, trading instructions or indications of future results.
Fit
This offer is intentionally not for everyone.
A strong fit if you...
- already have an options-enabled account or broker experience,
- want to structure options selling for a larger portfolio,
- already understand options, margin and more complex risk profiles,
- want a serious process instead of trade ideas.
Not a fit if you...
- expect quick profits, copy trading or alerts,
- do not yet understand options and margin basics,
- are looking for asset management or investment advice,
- want to rule out losing months or drawdowns.
Pricing
Premium time must be scarce and clearly priced.
The free qualification call only clarifies whether mentoring makes sense. After that, every working hour is priced transparently.

Booking & payment
Qualify first. Pay second. Then work with focus.
High-value 1:1 work is not booked like a mass-market product. Suitable applications receive a personal payment request after the brief fit check, followed by the private scheduling link.
Application
You briefly describe your market experience, options practice and specific topic.
Fit check
Within 48 hours, I clarify whether a session, sprint or ongoing desk is appropriate.
Payment
Payment is handled upfront by bank transfer or PayPal; ongoing work is billed monthly.
Scheduling
After acceptance and payment, you receive the private link to schedule the session.
FAQ
The important boundaries upfront.
Is this investment advice?
No. The mentoring is education and process work. It does not replace investment, legal or tax advice and does not provide individual buy or sell recommendations.
How much capital should I have?
The offer is most useful when options strategies, margin and drawdown budgets can be implemented realistically. For very small accounts, a premium 1:1 session is often not efficient.
Can beginners apply?
Only to a limited degree. If the basics of options, margin and loss profiles are missing, a fundamentals course is usually more efficient. This format is designed for implementation, structure and risk work.
Which language do you use?
German or English. Sessions are scheduled by availability, usually by video call.
How does payment work?
After a successful fit check, you receive the payment details personally by email. Sessions are reserved only after payment has been received.
Are returns guaranteed?
No. Options trading can cause significant losses. The goal is a better process, not a guaranteed result.
