Theta Profits is built so you can see how experienced options traders think, trade, and manage risk — then decide what fits your own book. It is not one expert with one method. Some guests trade 0DTE. Some sell puts. Some live in volatility, income, direction, or structure.

John has traded options since 2018. He does not present himself as the person who solved the market. His job is the interview: find the interesting trader, ask the question that makes the method visible, and publish it.

Before the channel he was a journalist and editor at Aftenposten, including a stretch as the paper’s Asia correspondent in Hong Kong, then in communications at Schibsted. Living in Norway meant the US open landed in the afternoon, so trading could sit next to a working day.

The early years included the usual tuition. Copying other people’s trades. Too much size. In the 2020 crash, half the account. The lesson he repeats is the unglamorous one: the risk was too large. Since then the process got stricter, and the account grew to more than seven times that low. He is still learning, which is the point of the show.
