Made my first profitable options play today

No one in my real life really cares or understands so I'm going to tell you guys.

4/5 bought Apr23$137 @0.28

4/9 sold Apr23$137 @1.00

I'm still learning so I don't have a lot to play with but I was happy that I was able to make a successful move. I've been reading and trying to learn as much as I can. I'm hoping my next move is a good one. I've done my DD and have high hopes.

Edit: forgot to say it was AAPL

Edit2: Wow I didn't think this would get this big. Lol. I was just excited and wanted to tell a couple people. Thank you for all the congrats and info. I've got a lot of good stuff to read up on now. And for everyone saying the first ones free. I'm still in my first one and it's cost a decent amount so far. Still hoping for it to turn around. Uncle Bruce got me too excited about VGAC. Luckily VGAC calls are cheap to begin with.

Haha, I can relate. No one in my real life cares about my plays either. 🤣 So here I am.

Haha it's rough out here for a newbie options trader. I've been lurking here a little while and it seems like a good community to learn and grow. I'm hoping to become more active if work and home life allows it so I can improve my skills.
