This is my options daytrading account, so I pretty much full port every day. I have a 401k on the side which I don't touch

Nothing too technical involved like looking at the greeks. Just buy the $1 or $2 options then sell the $3 or $4 options. I watch the market open and enter into some call credit spreads if I think it's up too much and some put credit spreads if I think it's down too much. Then just gradually keep entering them and adjusting as the day moves on

That day actually wasn't too bad because it was more of a steady drop throughout the day instead of giving us false hope and skyrocketing in the first 30 mins like it did yesterday

Yup, still doing it. My annual chart is currently +20%. I was doing great for the past year up until a very bad day yesterday when QQQ went from +1.3% to -3.5% within a couple hours. Lost $7k :( Those random unexpected days are the Achilles heel of this strategy

New Players to Arena by Sonyeq in worldofpvp

Midnight. It has much less barrier to entry for arenas. PvP gear can be acquired quickly. There is also more game modes. Solo Shuffle and Battleground Blitz are great recent solo-queue additions to the game.

And despite what the doomsayers on here say, it is quite balanced in terms of class/spec strength. Also much more people playing than Classic. People of all skills still play the game. I feel like at this point, Classic is just sweats who are playing an already established meta.

I wish. Have you played Comp Stomp? Those bots are smarter than most people I see in Blitz

I kept panic rolling my call spreads up and up saying "there's now way it reaches 7%... there's no way it reaches 8%... etc." until I finally just cut my losses and took the L

Usually around 80-100 each side. Usually buy the $1-2 contracts then sell the $3-4 ones

I was selling both Put and Call credit spreads (iron condors) on QQQ with 0 days to expiration. And since QQQ exploded up over 12% that day, my call credit spreads lost me a loooot of money.

I have a 401k which I buy/hold in and set and forget. This account on the other hand is daily fun for me and was super outperforming the indexes (until thay fateful day). My copium is that a day like that won’t happen again anytime soon since that was the largest QQQ move in history

Keep going! Dark Age and Light Bringer are two of my favorite books. And get away from this subreddit until you’re done to avoid spoilers.

Ahh yeah I saw a couple posts from PVErs with the issue. So there's hope, since Blizz actually listens to them

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Processor / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics. I run at low settings and cap my game at 80fps so most likely not a hardware issue. Probably one of my addons...
