In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live Solar stocks are back in focus — and not because of hype. This week, reports of Tesla teams visiting Chinese solar suppliers reignited interest across the sector. Several Chinese solar names caught a bid immediately, including Enphase (ENPH) — a stock many members in our Discord have been trading actively. One member even locked in a triple on half of his ENPH position. Congratulations to Erickson! 
All the market hype building around solar right now is no one off. From the U.S. to China to Saudi Arabia, governments are committing billions to expand solar capacity. After heavy regulatory headwinds early in the second Trump administration, we’re now seeing bullish options activity return across clean energy. None of this should surprise Masters in Trading members. We’ve been openly bullish on solar for over a year — and that thesis has already produced multiple doubles and triples, including our recent SunRun (RUN) trades. But here’s the part most traders miss: Getting into a trade is the easy part.
What matters is how you manage everything after. Our RUN trades are a perfect example. We were bullish on the stock — but that didn’t mean we just bought calls and let them ride. Instead, we structured our very first trade on the stock using a strangle. That allowed us to benefit from movement in either direction while keeping risk defined. So, keeping our risk managed? Check. Ensuring we could benefit wherever the stock moved? Also, check. That’s the key to how we manage our positions in Masters in Trading. Most traders just buy options and hope. We manage positions actively using three core techniques: - Covering Options
Knowing when to close, take profits, and “get on prints” when price breaks outside the expected move. - Rolling Into Vertical Spreads
Reducing risk while staying in winning trades by selling higher strikes against long calls. - Gamma Scalping
An advanced market-maker technique that extracts value from volatility itself by trading stock against options.
These core technicques are exactly what today’s episode is about. In today’s Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, I’ll break down how and when to use each of these strategies — with real examples from our recent solar trades. And if you want to take this a step further… I highly encourage you to check out the Masters in Trading Options Challenge. The Challenge is where we take everything you’ve learned in my daily LIVEs — fixed risk, thesis-driven exits, laddered entries, defined-duration trades, and emotional discipline — and put it into practice in a structured, step-by-step environment. For two weeks, we walk through the foundations of real options trading the way I learned them on the trading floor. You’ll learn exactly how I think, exactly how I build trades, and exactly how I manage both the winners and the losers.
