IT’S A VIBE.
NOT A BLIND BET.
Your instinct starts the conversation.
Variables. Information. Broker. Energy. Savings.
Five questions decide whether it goes any further.
NO TRADE.
01 / THE FRAMEWORK
A gut feeling.
With cross-examination.
“Vibes” is the name. These are the questions behind it. Click a letter to get under the surface.
Know what you’re actually buying.
The ticker is only the beginning. Strike, expiration, premium, Greeks, volatility and liquidity all change the trade. A good idea in the wrong contract can still lose.
02 / PRESSURE-TEST YOUR THINKING
Before the trade,
check yourself.
No ticker recommendations. No magic buy score. Just five honest answers—including the one that can stop everything.
Keep the free one-page checklist ↘No email required. Yours to use on paper, in a journal, or before a hypothetical trade.
Could you lose the entire amount without touching essentials, emergencies, or business runway?
THE DOLLAR CHECK / BEGINNER FRIENDLY
What could
I actually lose?
Turn a small option quote into real dollars. For cash-funded long options only; excludes short options, spreads, margin and stock positions created by exercise.
Enter your amounts or load the fictional example. A $0.75 quote normally means $75 per standard contract, before fees.
This tool checks your arithmetic and chosen limit. It does not recommend a position, estimate a win rate, or guarantee a maximum loss if exercise creates a stock position.
03 / THE TRADING RECORD
The history is real.
So are the losing years.
Explore historical trades and annual brokerage summaries alongside the lessons behind the framework.
Wins. Losses. The whole curve.
How to read this chart
The yearly line accumulates reported annual net gains and losses, including wash-sale adjustments. The daily view groups closed securities transactions from the same tax forms by closing date. These are realized-result views, not daily account balances. The separate all-time display uses Robinhood’s own calculation.
Six years of annual summaries.
Robinhood Securities 1099 summaries only.
Reported net gain/loss, including wash-sale adjustments.
About these figures
The annual figures come from the Robinhood Securities “Grand total” summaries. Tax accounting and the app’s all-time account display use different measures; the annual table is not a portfolio-return calculation.
The excerpts retain the financial table and remove private identifying headers. Screenshots can overlap and include canceled orders. Sale amounts show proceeds; profit also accounts for entry cost and fees.
THE RECEIPT ARCHIVE 16 screenshots · phone status bars cropped+
Phone battery, clock and notification strips are cropped from view; trading details are unchanged. Open a receipt to inspect it. Entries may overlap across screenshots; canceled orders were not filled. These records are educational context, not a complete performance calculation.

A FEW THINGS, UP FRONT.
What does the VIBES framework teach?+
A repeatable research and decision process: Variables, Information, Broker, Energy and Savings. The toolkit covers sector momentum, public catalysts, chart structure, contract selection, position sizing and post-trade review.
Do I need money in a trading account?+
No. Use hypothetical setups and paper trades. Keep essential savings out of speculative trades. The toolkit doesn’t require a brokerage connection.
Does checking every box mean I should trade?+
Use the completed check to write your entry conditions, invalidation, exit plan and dollar limit. Revisit the setup if the evidence or price changes before you act.
What about privacy and emails?+
The check and calculator stay in your browser. Joining the waitlist saves your email, price preference, selected features and optional comments for VIBES product research and launch updates. We do not sell this information. Payment details are handled by Stripe; VIBES stores the order reference, purchase email and confirmation needed to deliver your files. Email Support to request deletion or leave the waitlist.
How do I receive my toolkit?+
After payment, Stripe returns you to your download page. Once payment is confirmed, the ZIP unlocks automatically. Keep that private page bookmarked so you can download again.
