Okinawa, Japan, is famous for its people living to 100+ years with an enviable mix of good health and “I’ve-seen-it-all” wisdom.
The subtropical island region located in the southernmost part of Japan is part of the Ryukyu Islands and is known for its beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and unique culture that blends Japanese, Chinese, and indigenous Ryukyuan influences.
Okinawa is often called the "Land of Immortals" because it has one of the highest concentrations of centenarians (people who live to 100 years or older) in the world.
Okinawa serves as an inspiring model for wellness, balance, and longevity - and TRADING!
What’s their secret?
A little thing called Hara Hachi Bu—eating until they’re 80% full.
Meanwhile, over in the stock market, traders are dropping like flies, metaphorically speaking.
Why?
Because they gorge on profits, hang on too long, and leave the table stuffed with regret (and losses).
At Time Freedom Trading, we embrace the
"Okinawan way": Live long, thrive, where we sell on the rise.....
and don’t let the market maker rob you of your hard-earned profits.
“Patience is key in trading. The market doesn’t reward reckless haste; it rewards calculated endurance.” – Jack Schwager
Here’s the hard truth:
The market isn’t here to make you rich—it’s here to make you "think" you’re getting rich right before it snatches it all back.
Take options trading, for example. When stock prices rise, so does implied volatility (IV)—that sneaky little devil baked into option pricing. Everyone rushes in, premiums skyrocket, and market makers rub their hands together like cartoon villains.
If you’re buying options during this euphoria, congratulations—you just paid top dollar for a depreciating asset.
The stock might go higher, but your option premium? It’s taking a nosedive, thanks to collapsing IV.
Here is a great OPTIONS TACTIC that can help get you on your way to your first $100K!
Let’s say you buy a call option on $STOCK at $100.
The stock jumps to $110, and you’re already planning what color your yacht should be.
But instead of doubling in value, your option barely moves.
Why? IV RUSH >> IV CRUSH
The IV deflated, and now you’re holding a glorified scratch-off ticket.
Meanwhile, the Market Maker?
They’re upgrading their yacht with the premium you so kindly donated.
"Over 80% of options contracts expire worthless, and implied volatility (IV) typically overestimates actual market movement 85% of the time."
This means the MARKET MAKER will SELL options during high "IV RUSH" (when implied volatility spikes) and capitalize on the rapid "IV CRUSH" (when volatility drops), profiting from overpriced premiums that decay quickly. ( ie the other SIDE of YOUR TRADE) .
When trading simple option strategies it is CRITICAL that you sell on the RISE to keep your PROFITS from the Market Maker.
“I made my money by selling too soon.”

Okinawans don’t live to 100 by chasing every tempura shrimp in sight. They eat until they’re satisfied—80% full—and call it a day.
Time Freedom Traders do the same in the market.
Instead of clinging to trades, hoping for that extra 20%, we sell while the price is rising—before the market maker turns the tables.
Here’s what we know:
1. Greed kills trades faster than bad sushi.
Selling while IV is high locks in your profits before the market maker drains your account.
2. Patience pays off.
Just like the Okinawans don’t rush to finish their meals, we don’t beg to hold onto trades. When we’re 80% full, we’re out.
When you sell options while prices are climbing, you become the one charging top dollar.
High IV?
That’s the buyer’s problem now.
You get to profit from their desperation ( F.O.M.O. - Chasing the top of the move ) and walk away before the market turns.
Remember: The market doesn’t reward the greedy—it rewards the disciplined.
GET SOME … not ALL of the move.
If you want to trade profitably for the long haul, stop treating the market like a casino. The house (aka the market maker) "always" wins—unless you trade smart.
Time Freedom Traders don’t just survive—we thrive. We’re here for the long game, not the fleeting thrill of overpriced options.
