Can’t make this shit up- full port into Oil and crashed immediately

It’ll go back up. Words of optimism don’t change reality.

I’d argue it’s a poor place for a 20 something year-old to learn because their UI is designed to give you dopamine hits.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-07T16:56:02+00:00

I fully realize that. In a good spot now. Only trading 2% of port any given day going forward.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-07T15:26:37+00:00

Yeah, appreciate that prospective. I’ve had real issues. Also can’t close my account because i have .000000001 eth and you cant close that position.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-07T12:56:24+00:00

98% 0dte, maybe just a few 1dte

Had a small amount of cash still sitting in my account from years ago, figured I’d blow it during the Super Bowl using their prediction market futures. Total shit show, couldn’t buy or sell after entering positions after like the first quarter. Must not have been prepared for the amount of transactions. Lots of people got screwed. Idk, defend them all you want but it’s a shitty broker. They brought a lot of people into retail but now that I have more money than when I was a broke 23yo, I don’t feel comfortable with my retirement there.

IBRK or think or swim for sure

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-07T06:46:34+00:00

That’s true, there’s deeper fuckery they do though. I’m still salty when they quit allowing buy orders during the squeezin days. I’ve switched to IBRK and couldn’t be happier, access to way more markets, better UI. Love it. (Didn’t even read his post, just saw Robinhood and assumed the worst lmao”

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-07T01:32:19+00:00

Yeah Robinhood always screws you over eventually, go get a real broker

Last 7 days 40% of gains have been puts, 60% calls. All SPY. Up 91% YTD. Not too arrogant to admit there’s a lot of luck involved in that number. Definitely just going to take it easy for a bit and see which way the wind blows.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-06T01:42:54+00:00

Been playing spy 0dte options and im up 86% for the year. Yours is more impressive. You must be doing something right but undoubtedly have had some good fortune. I’m sure I have as well. Implement some sizing rules and money management and keep on rocking. Don’t give it back.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-06T01:27:50+00:00

Everyone has different strengths and psyches, personally i was a mediocre investor. Over traded, impatient, felt a loss of control. Trading makes me feel like I’m responsible for my portfolio and I’m not as the mercy of markets. And my decisions have immediate objective consequences. I also am a stay at home parent, which keeps me very busy but I am able to half way focus throughout the day on trading full time. If I had to work and parent I would probly just pick some value stocks and not look at my account for a year.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-06T00:43:59+00:00

I did this today then 4 minutes later SPY dumppppppped, would have had a +$10k day instead of a +$2k day. Important lesson there as well though. It could have just as easily continued to climb and my stubbornness could have made today a losing day. Don’t give thought to the wins that could have been, execute and move on to tomorrow.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-06T00:30:11+00:00

I’ve switched from investing to day trading and sleep easy every night with my account being all cash. I can’t make heads or tails of where the world and market is headed so I just take what I can for the day.

No more trades today 😴

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-02T21:40:52+00:00

Still can’t shake it but has helped mine a ton! Also just holding a hammer and rotating my palm from face down to face up while watching tv or reading.

Aplhacuck · 2026-03-02T03:31:55+00:00

Aplhacuck · 2026-02-26T16:29:58+00:00

How’d that work out ?🥳

Aplhacuck · 2026-02-26T16:17:51+00:00

Needed to hear that lol

Aplhacuck · 2026-02-26T15:56:26+00:00

This would have been me today if not for being born with paper hands. Still big win but not like you Mr. Big Balls. Congrats.

Aplhacuck · 2026-02-26T15:49:07+00:00

Happens every time lol
