         ⚠️ Risk Management Tips for Options Trading
         📌 Never chase a trade. Let price confirm the level before entering.
         📌 Use stop-losses strictly. Protect your capital at all times.
         📌 Avoid trading in the No Trade Zone. This is where stop-losses get hunted easily.
         📌 Monitor IV (Implied Volatility). If IV is high, options premiums might be inflated. Consider spreads instead of naked options.
