From Golf Pro to Options Master: How Chris Pulver Trades with Purpose, Precision and Profit
What do professional golf, Forex blowups, and thousands of risk-defined options trades have in common? Chris Pulver.
In this episode of The Trading Battle, Chris shares the incredible journey that took him from teaching golf across Asia to mastering options, managing accounts, and placing thousands of trades with machine-like consistency. This isn’t your typical trader story. It’s a tale of hard-earned lessons, resilience, and a complete reinvention of how to trade with discipline and clarity.
Chris talks openly about holding a New Zealand dollar position that spiralled into a $20,000 drawdown, only to close it for a mere $500 profit. Instead of giving up, he rebuilt. Today, he trades with structured systems that minimise risk, generate income, and keep emotions out of the equation.
In this episode, we take you through:
- The brutal but essential lessons from Chris’s early Forex years
- How he turned drawdowns into a disciplined approach that thrives on consistency
- Why options are now his preferred weapon of choice and how he uses spreads, hedging and LEAPS for long-term success
- His exact strategy for managing risk while trading indexes, commodities, and currencies
- How he stays calm and flexible by always planning for worst-case scenarios
Chris breaks it all down in a way that’s practical, empowering, and incredibly valuable—no hype, just hard-earned experience and proven approaches. Whether you’re new to trading or deep in the game, this conversation will challenge how you think about risk and reward.
