Deep dives
David Sun's Journey into Options Trading
David Sun began his exploration into options trading during his graduate studies at Princeton University, motivated by the financial market developments around the 2008 crisis. Initially, he engaged in traditional stock trading, influenced by shows like Mad Money, until a friend introduced him to options strategies such as selling puts and covered calls. His early success in options led to a not-so-valuable lesson about luck versus skill in trading, especially when he doubled his account during a bull market without an understanding of deeper concepts like Delta. Eventually, he discovered TastyTrade in 2017 and became heavily invested in its trading philosophies, which ultimately led him to launch his own hedge fund by late 2018 after gaining confidence in his trading strategies.
