On Vlad Stocks, Kam Dasani and Sumi Basani, founders of UTS (Unstoppable Trading Software), return to break down real options trades, risk management, and the discipline required to become a consistently profitable trader.
Kam walks viewers through one of UTS’s biggest recent wins—a successful Intel put options trade. He explains how the team identified a bearish setup, entered 18 put contracts at approximately $5.02 per contract, and exited the position for nearly $9,000, generating a profit of roughly $6,588. Kam details the technical analysis, trade execution, and timing that led to the winning position.
To show that even experienced traders take losses, Kam and Sumi also review an unsuccessful trade on American Airlines. After purchasing approximately $4,300 in put options, the trade moved against them, resulting in a loss of over $3,300. Rather than hiding the loss, they explain why transparency is critical and how disciplined traders manage losing positions without letting emotions dictate future decisions.
Throughout the interview, Kam stresses that options trading carries significant risk and should represent only a small percentage of an investor’s overall portfolio. He recommends limiting options exposure to roughly 10–20% of investable assets while keeping the majority of capital in diversified, long-term investments.
Vlad shares his own philosophy as a long-term investor, discussing the historical success of buying and holding quality companies while cautioning against overtrading. Together, they compare active options trading with traditional investing and explain how both approaches can complement each other when supported by proper risk management.
Kam and Sumi also discuss the importance of market preparation, emotional discipline, position sizing, and developing a repeatable trading process rather than chasing quick profits. They explain how UTS combines proprietary software, live market analysis, and education to help traders make informed decisions while understanding the risks involved.
Whether discussing winning trades, losing trades, or building long-term wealth, this episode of Vlad Stocks provides valuable insight into the realities of options trading and modern investing.
