A reset of our newsletter and community, and what you can expect going forward.
If you’re receiving this, it’s because you were subscribed to our previous monthly newsletter on the TOCF website. First of all, thank you, your support means a lot.
Over the past months, I’ve rethought how better connect with the TOCF community. The old monthly format felt a bit too limited, and our free Discord had become too quiet, overcrowded with non active followers. It was time for a reset.
Why move to Substack?
Better delivery: it’s an easier platform for us and every post now comes straight to your inbox.
More interaction: Substack’s tools (comments, Notes) make it easier to engage with readers.
Focus the newsletter more on writing content: instead of just posting trade reports, I would like to refocus the newsletter towards creating interesting valuable reads.
At the same time, I’ve restructured our Discord into a premium-only community. By keeping Discord limited to really committed members, the discussions there will be more focused, high-quality, and truly valuable.
What to expect here on Substack
On the TOCF Substack, you’ll receive:
Insightful articles on options trading strategies, mechanics, and portfolio management.
Reflections and thoughts on the options trading learning process — to spark your own ideas and reflections as you build your trading journey.
Occasional recaps of my executed trades, with charts, rationale, and lessons learned (always after the fact, never signals), to demonstrate my trading results.
Updates on how I track trades, manage risk, and approach realistic trading goals.
What to expect in our new Discord
Live trade alerts whenever I execute a trade.
Detailed trade reports explaining my choice of ticker, strike, and expiration.
Weekly portfolio snapshots to track progress and risk exposure.
Focused community chat with committed members — a place for real discussions and shared learning without the noise.
If you’d like to stay fully up-to-date with my trading, you can join the premium membership for my Discord — which includes live trade alerts, detailed trade reports, weekly portfolio snapshots, and access to all Discord channels.
What’s next
This feels like the start of a new chapter in my sharing journey too. While I’m finding the right frequency, you can expect steady content from me.
In my next post, I’ll share my personal “why” again — the story behind TOCF and the mission that drives everything I do here. It’s always good to pause, rethink, and be reminded of the reasons why we are doing this, both in trading and in building this community.
Thanks for making this move with me. I’m excited to continue building TOCF with you here on Substack and our Discord.

Just a quick note for you
If you no longer feel interested in following my journey or being part of the TOCF community, you can simply opt out of these emails. No hard feelings.
But if you’re curious to see how TOCF evolves — and want to keep learning and reflecting together — then you’re warmly invited to stay on board.
And if you have a moment, I’d love a short reaction to this restart. Even just a line in reply helps me know you’re here and engaged.
