Trading the Miles: how we pay for the road and build something that lasts. I’m Jay, an Army veteran. Most mornings I trade options with a coffee before the day gets going, using strategies I learned from Rockwell Trading. Trading is the job that pays for the miles, and the long-term goal is a forever dividend account for the family.

Not financial advice. I’m sharing what I do with my own money, for education only. Options involve risk and are not suitable for everyone – you can lose money, including more than you expect. Read the OCC’s “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options” before trading options. I’m a Rockwell Trading referral partner and may be paid if you buy through my link.
