As Hurricane Milton Approaches, We’re Going Back to Basics

Tom Gentile here…

This week, I’m prepping for what could be one of the worst hurricanes we’ve seen at Gulfport HQ in years.

We’re in the direct path of Hurricane Milton.

We’re boarding up the windows… making sure we have gas for the generators… and enough water and toilet paper to make it through the chaos.

I expect to lose power, and communication might be disrupted this week as we deal with the fallout.

Now, normally on Mondays, I deliver your Five Points update – but just as with trading, I’m chiefly concerned with managing my risk as this storm approaches.

So we’re going to take some time this week to get back to basics and to reiterate our trading discipline – something we do a lot here at Patterns & Profits.

We’re going to tap into our library of free research – and start at the very beginning…

This is my comprehensive guide to the basics of options trading – free to all my Patterns & Profits subscribers.

If you’ve never traded before, just a need a quick refresher, or are looking to give your own trading a boost, this handy guide gives you the foundation you need to start trading options the way I do.

This week, while Hurricane Milton bears down on Gulfport HQ, we’re going spend some time getting back to basics, and exploring some of my foundational rules for turning patterns into profits.

And don’t worry about me – my family and I are on higher (and drier) ground, and are well prepped to ride out the storm.

This is just my put option for living in Florida…

That’s all for today – tomorrow, we’ll take a deep dive into one of the core fundamentals of options trading – so stay tuned!

Until then…

Good trading,
