Hi traders — Mansur here.
I started this publication in July 2025 to document how I trade options with real capital.
Over time, it has grown beyond a journal of individual trades. It is now where I research, build, run, and refine systematic options strategies and the tools that support them. I publish the reasoning, actual executions, adjustments, commissions, mistakes, and final results without removing the uncomfortable parts when something goes wrong.
My work spans several connected areas.
1. A14 Weekly Strategy on the S&P 500 Index
This is a rules-based approach that starts with a put Broken Wing Butterfly and is managed as a complete campaign rather than a single entry. What appeals to me most is that A14 is not tied to a permanently bullish or bearish market view. It begins close to market-neutral and can be actively managed as conditions change. That adaptability is why I consider it the flagship strategy of 10 Delta Playbook. My implementation is based on publicly available A14 materials published by the strategy’s creator, Amy Meissner, together with my own documented research and conventions. It does not claim to reproduce every proprietary rule of the original methodology. I completed the initial research and preparation and began running the strategy in late summer 2026. I document every trade from entry through reviews, adjustments, executions, and final result.
2. Broken Wing Butterflies Around 30 DTE
This is a separate directional strategy for liquid stocks and exchange-traded funds. Positions are typically opened around 30 days before expiration with the body near 20 delta, using calls or puts depending on the market setup. I prepare and structure these trades with Options Strategist, a Telegram bot I built to scan candidates, validate risk, and generate complete Broken Wing Butterfly structures.
3. Options Playbook
This is my broader options research and decision-support product, built to address the missing step between finding an interesting underlying and choosing the structure that best expresses the setup. It combines market structure, expiration, volatility, expected move, earnings, liquidity, and option-chain data, then compares the strategies that fit the available evidence before strike selection and execution.

I keep a separate list of the tools and platforms I use in my own trading and confidently recommend to other traders.
