You've been paying for time decay. The market thanks you.
The founder's directional-options experience exposed a process problem: decisions were being made during the trade instead of before it. That lesson shaped a written cadence of gates, limits, and review prompts.
── Founder lesson, offered as context rather than audited evidence.
No performance claim or track record is presented.
The shift is from improvisation to preparation.
The manual is about making a decision process explicit: define the thesis, assignment conditions, position limits, and exit branches before placing an order.

A thesis changes mid-trade, position size is chosen by feel, and exits are decided under pressure.
Institutional premium-selling
Entry gates, assignment conditions, position limits, and review prompts are written down in advance.
