Options Weekly Recap – December 19, 2025
This week’s options action delivered exactly what we aim for at GAR Capital: controlled risk, structured execution, and outsized returns when conviction pays off.
📈 Weekly Options Performance
One of the standout trades of the week was TSLA, where we captured a 110% gain on our runner. This was a textbook example of letting winners run while managing risk on the core position.
Closed trades this week included:
- TSLA Dec 19 $500 Calls ✅
- C Dec 19 $112 Calls ✅
- NVDA Jan 9 $160 Puts ✅
- SLV Dec 19 $50 Puts ❌
Not every trade will be a winner, but risk management and position sizing continue to keep drawdowns contained while allowing strong setups to meaningfully impact the P&L.
📊 Year-To-Date Options Performance
Our YTD trading journal highlights just how powerful disciplined execution can be.
- Starting balance: $10,000
- Current balance: $20,582+
- Total trades: 261
- Win rate: 68.2%
- Gross P&L: $10,582+
This performance was driven by several high-conviction positions that produced multiple 100%+ returns, significantly compounding gains throughout the year. These “bag” trades, combined with consistent base hits, are what fueled such a strong overall return.
🎯 The Bigger Picture
Markets have been choppy and data-heavy, but our strategy remains the same:
- Protect capital first
- Press when probabilities align
- Let winners work
This approach continues to deliver results across different market conditions.
