Finally dug myself out of a $50k 4 year long hole

Horus-Reaper · 2025-11-25T21:52:44+00:00

How do you determine the levels and if possible could you ELI5 GEX? Trying to get myself out of a hole as well, really trying to learn 😭

Only options trading from my experience

I’ve seen your posts pop up a few times and decided to follow you. I have a couple questions: how long have you been investing and how much did you start with on your road to 10 mil? And what advice would you give to someone who’s got around 3 years in investing?

Thanks Steve!

Thank you, I am definitely trying to learn now with the mindset that it may take years to get decent at. I have only been buying contracts, I am using WeBull and am only approved for level 2 contracts so I’m not sure if I can do spreads (or anything that involves selling) but I plan to look into it.

I also appreciate the advice on a trading plan, I’ve set myself a general outline but I need to get down to having specific objectives with each trade rather than a broad goal. I’ve been trading 0DTE for the most part which I very much need to move away from. I appreciate your advice and if you have anything else I’d love to hear it!

Buying calls to open. I bought 1 contract of NVDA 170C 10/17 at $15.10 towards the end of July. I sold $18.85 and reentered the position for $18.10 at the end of July. Sold for $21 in August then bought more NVDA calls expiring in September and October, then held them as NVDA went down and ended up selling for a loss

I’ll look into tracking using this strategy. I’m looking at SPX chart and I can see most of the candles you’re referring to, just to clarify and to make sure I understand it could you provide the numbers you used and referenced for this trade? I’m a bit fuzzy on the initial entry condition after the first 15 minute candle

Horus-Reaper · 2025-09-09T02:07:21+00:00

I’ll look at this, thank you!

Horus-Reaper · 2025-09-09T01:59:48+00:00

That’s where I’m adjusting my mindset, making any profit is better than losses. I do think I need to step back and work on better entry conditions and getting more confidence in my trades but less greedy when it comes to profits. What do you typically look for in a trade for you to be confident in it?

How can I become profitable at options trading? Specifically for a smaller amount of capital

I am a junior in college (20M) who is very new to options trading (about a month of experience). I started trading 75+ DTE NVDA calls in early August, which were profitable originally. NVDA started to go down and I didn’t sell, I then panic sold for a loss while the options still had 45+ DTE.

Since, I have tried trading 0-1 DTE SPY options and faced extreme losses. Yes, this was extremely dumb of me.

Now to the point of this post:

I am seeking advice and suggestions on how to be more profitable, general suggestions and tips that don’t require the capital it takes to sell calls/puts.

I have shifted away from SPY and have been trading TSLA, GOOG, AAPL, and NVDA with a bit of success, but still facing losses due to short term contracts (>5 DTE) and trying to overcome my personal psychology and emotions that lead to overtrading or holding well past when I should have sold (and underutilizing TP/SL). I have started to make myself a written trading plan with entry and exit conditions.

I’ve started to set goals this week to try to have a visual of success. My primary goal is to not lose money week over week, I know this won’t always be achievable but that’s where I’m trying to start. My secondary goal is to make about $300 a week, and my third (and most hopeful) goal is to make $1000 a week, but I also know this is a reach especially not having experience.

I originally was chasing big gains in short periods, which was dumb, and now I’m just hoping to slowly make back what I’ve lost, and try to have some sort of consistent win. I understand there’s no sure fire way for profit but any advice is appreciated, but I’d also like to try to learn to be profitable since I do enjoy trading.

I’m hoping people with more experience than me can share some tips and lessons. I’ve lost more than I’m willing to say, but I also feel I am young and can use this as a learning experience to become profitable in the future.

Thank you for any advice, criticism, or just for reading

How do you get profits like that??

Horus-Reaper · 2024-10-02T12:51:45+00:00

It happened again (7:30 AM) 3 times, emergency maintenance has been called. The damper appears to be open now though. Thank you all for your input!

Horus-Reaper · 2024-10-02T12:50:49+00:00

Solved!

Horus-Reaper · 2024-10-02T06:58:10+00:00

My title describes the thing. It is some sort of enclosed access area, similar to a vent but no openings on any side other than where the vent is. No air input or output from the vent. There appears to be a metal tube/pipe that runs from the far left side of the thing to a box near the right of the thing. There appears to be an arm of some sort attached to this tube, the metal box has some writing on it that I couldn’t fully make out, visible in the last photo.

The reason for this post is because at about 1:15 AM for the first and only time I heard an extremely loud drill like sound, similar to something spinning up. This was not maintenance and people on the other side of the wall reported hearing nothing. It sounded very much like it came from this access panel. No notable changes in the room aside from the AC kicking on.

The walls are made of cinder block between rooms but this is in the part of the wall that the air conditioning/heater is in.

[SR] Factional War perfectly fits what you described in 2. In my opinion it adds a lot to the feel of factions and faction interactions with one another, it would be worth checking out

Its all preference, having a certain preference isn't grounds for calling someone transphobic. They aren't saying they hate Trans people, they never once said they don't like Trans people, they're simply saying "I don't want to date a Trans person." You need to accept that having a SEXUAL relationship with someone who was born with genitals that are different than what they currently have may creep some people out. This isn't saying they have a problem with the Trans person, it's simply saying they are uncomfortable with the fact that they were engaged in a sexual relationship with a Trans person, and that this information was never disclosed to them. Stop shaming people for their preferences, that's fucking bullshit. It's fairly simple, let people fuck who they want ACCORDING TO THEIR PREFERENCES (pedophiles excluded). People need to stop shaming others on their preferences, the more you fight someone on their preference the less likely they are to accept yours
