241: Top Trader Interviews - Kevin

In this interview, Kirk sits down with Kevin, a long-time Option Alpha member who began trading in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Kevin shares how he turned his small beginnings into a consistent, structured approach that scales with his portfolio.

Kevin details how he spent years learning before placing his first options trade and how those early experiences shaped his disciplined, rules-based philosophy. He explains how he uses position sizing, trend, and DTE selection to create repeatable setups in the corresponding position type.

Kevin also walks through how automation, weekly reviews, and a focus on process over prediction helped him build consistency through market downturns, quiet periods, and personal setbacks.

Kevin enters each week with a plan and relies on automation to execute that plan to reduce noise and stay aligned with his long-term goals.
