Definitions

1

Traders who sell options — covered calls, cash-secured puts, iron condors — to collect premium that bleeds away as expiry approaches. The trade-off: tiny steady wins, until one black-swan move blows up a year of profits. Self-identified Theta Gang lives on Reddit and treats degenerate call-buyers (loss porn / r/wallstreetbets) as the natural enemy.

“Bro joined theta gang in 2021, made bank for two years, then GameStop wiped him out in a week.”
