⚠️ Risk Management for All Types

Essential Rules:

Never risk more than 1-5% per position (based on investor type)

Set stop losses at 20-30% of option premium paid

Take profits at 50-100% gains - don't get greedy

Watch time decay - September 19 expiries losing value fast

Follow earnings closely - MU's September 23 earnings critical

Remember: Institutions often have hedged positions we can't see. The $42M MU call buy might be part of a covered call strategy. The $16.7M OPEN collar is clearly defensive after 531% gains. Always maintain proper position sizing and never blindly follow whale trades without understanding the context.

Entry Level Warning: Options can result in 100% loss. Start with paper trading, focus on learning mechanics, and consider ETFs or shares while developing option skills. These institutional trades represent sophisticated strategies that may not be suitable for beginners.

⚠️ Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors. These institutional trades represent sophisticated strategies that may be part of larger hedged positions not visible to retail traders. The unusual activity represents past positioning and doesn't guarantee future performance. Always practice proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
