27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


  • ECB has raised the interest rate by 75 bps to 1.25%, in line with the expectations.
  • It hiked the Deposit Facility rate by 75 bps to 0.75%, higher than the expected 0.50%.
  • Its Marginal Lending Facility rate now stands at 1.50%.
  • It aims to ensure the timely return of inflation to the ECB’s 2% medium-term target.
  • Based on its current assessment, the Governing Council expects to raise interest rates further over the next several meetings to dampen demand and guard against the risk of a persistent upward shift in inflation expectations.
  • Looking ahead, ECB staff have significantly revised their inflation projections, and inflation is now expected to average 8.1% in 2022, 5.5% in 2023, and 2.3% in 2024.
  • In July, ECB hiked the rate by 50 bps to 0.5% from the previous 0% beating the expectations of 0.25% to prop up the ailing euro.
