So I’ll disclose how much I made trading options. I have a net withdrawn amount of $150,000 of profits, all from options. And currently my account is sitting at $500,000, also mostly from trading options. So I would say I made around $650,000 worth of profits in the last 5 years or so of trading options, all of this is done in my Roth IRA. Feel free to share how much you have made trading options.
Please share the total profits you have trading options.

Last year about 15k but mostly selling options and reinvesting. While staying mostly cash. Proof in my profile
How are you withdrawing profits from a Roth IRA at 36?
2025 I netted 65k through Thetagang on a portfolio of ~200k (using margin)
I did ~ $40k in profit for the second half of 2025 (when I started on options).
I pulled a fast one on Robinhood, I “withdrew” 4 grand from my account and then moved it over before it cleared, bought a ton of calls on SPY, lost 2000 of it, and spent the other 2000 on dogecoin at .35¢, now my Robinhood is negative 3 grand and they can’t liquidate my crypto so I’m bag holding dogecoin at a 35 cent average waiting for it to probably never go to dollar so I can pocket my 5 to 6 thousand in profit lol. I learned about trading and investing probably 3 months before I did this and this was about a year ago. I don’t trade anymore I’m not good at it, I really was just gambling, as soon as 8:30 hit I’d load up on calls or puts and hope for the best, 1 out of 3 times id make some money but it just went right back into losing it. I learned that on days before a major holiday, THE MARKET CLOSES EARLY. So I’m up like 9 thousand on SPY the day before Thanksgiving the year before last, and you know how 10 mins before the market closes it kinda shits on your position usually, well that happened and my 9k up went to making like 200 bucks. It was all a bunch of hard learned lessons for me lol.
For 2025 I had a 34k portfolio that grew to 82k so thats a growth of 48k
What are profits?
