Hi, I’m Peggy, founder of Trading Options for Cashflow.

I write about options trading from the perspective of a retail trader who wants structure, transparency, and better decision-making. Together with Kurt, I share practical education, trade reflections, and tools that help traders track what is really happening in their positions.

TOCF is not a signal service. It is a place to learn the mechanics, follow the process, and build discipline around options trading.

Why I built TOCF

I did not start TOCF because I had all the answers.

I started it because I wanted to become more structured in my own options trading — and because I realised that many traders struggle with the same things: tracking trades properly, understanding assignment, following cost basis, and reviewing whether the strategy is actually working.

Options trading can look clean and simple in a textbook. Real trades are messier.

A put gets assigned. A covered call is sold. Premiums reduce cost basis. The stock moves. You need to decide whether to roll, hold, close, or continue the Wheel.

That is why TOCF focuses on practical education, real trade examples, and proper tracking.

The aim is not hype. The aim is clarity.
