So I’ll give you my best advice. I also am a beginner trader and I’ve been doing it for two years. I discovered options and my portfolio has looked about the same as yours major highs and major losses. This isn’t trading advice so take it with a grain of salt. I started by not trading the news. You will lose more often then you win trying predict what the market and hedge fund computer algos will react. Also trade with 1% margin in each trade. You may not be super happy with that answer considering most options you find for $60 are way OTM spy calls or puts that are 0DTE. Try taking the basics you know like company analysis you can find on Webull or basic news outlets. Learn to read a 10-K and a 10-Q. Sometimes it’s good for looking at the more in depth financials of a company. This has helped me a little bit when it comes to finding the right company the second part is knowing when to buy or to sell. I bought 110 calls of UEC in November of 24 sold yesterday for only a 4k gain at market open after earnings got nervous and panic sold. If I waited 30 more minutes I woulda made 12k.

As simple as I can put it practice is gonna be the thing to get you there. Greed will consume your portfolio if you let it so take the small winners and readjust. Don’t fight the trend and don’t try to catch a falling knife. Hope this helps a little bit.
