The Person Behind the Strategy

Ferretti

Years of experimenting, losing, and learning. Then something clicked.

Most strategies fail because they depend on being right. I stopped building those.

It started with a class assignment. A professor gave us $100k to build a portfolio — I decided to simulate it properly and actually track it. That got me genuinely interested in investing for the first time. Then in January 2024, when the Nvidia hype was building, I bought calls on it in the simulation. Watching those calls move hooked me completely. That portfolio is still running today, up roughly 100% since.

I opened a real account in early 2024 and spent the next two years going in multiple directions — daytrading SPY options, backtesting futures strategies, chasing edges that didn't hold up. Late 2025 I stopped, dropped everything else, and committed fully to options selling. The strategy doesn't depend on where the market is going — and that was the whole point.

The Beginning
A finance professor assigned the class to build a $100k simulated portfolio. Most treated it as homework. I became obsessed with it. That portfolio is still running — up roughly 100% since inception. It was the first time the market felt like something worth understanding deeply.

Into the Mechanics
Opened a real brokerage account and shifted focus from picking stocks to understanding what actually drives prices — specifically options, what makes them move, and what the market is really pricing when it prices fear. I left LIU Post because I realized college wasn't for me. The time was better spent elsewhere.
2024 – 2025
Two years
Searching for the Edge
Spent two years running in multiple directions at once — daytrading SPY options and backtesting futures strategies. Got my hopes up on more than one approach. Learned the hard way what a genuinely robust edge looks like, and what it doesn't. Most strategies fail because they depend on being right. These were no different.

A Structural Edge
Dropped everything else and committed fully to options. Stopped predicting. Started collecting. The strategy doesn't depend on being right about the market — it depends on the market being the market. It runs the same way every week, in every condition, without exception. There is something built into every position that most options sellers never teach, never discuss, and rarely consider. That is why the drawdowns stay where they are. What it is stays here.
What I Believe
On Prediction
I didn't want a strategy that depended on what the market was doing. The market is always behaving unpredictably — and if it weren't, the edge wouldn't exist.
On Edge
A real edge isn't a trade. It's a structure — something that works not because you were right, but because it was built to keep working when you're wrong.
On Investors
I want partners who understand patience. Emotional money is the enemy of this strategy. The people who wait always beat the people who react.
On Transparency
I will never give away exactly how it works. What I will give you is the result — and the track record to judge it by.
Built to
last.

The strategy is running. The process is the same every week. The numbers speak for themselves.
