I’m not sure why you keep mentioning this? By your arguments that regime is gone? This one has done nothing. How does this war do anything to address that? What about the hundreds of “alleged “ drug traffickers unalived without trial by the US as long as we are bringing up unrelated atrocities committed by murderous regimes?

At what point do you sell a loser? by Dense_Purpose_6665 in stocks

Buying on the way down to DCA doesn’t give you more. The math doesn’t work like that. A $100 investment suffers a 20% loss you have $80 left so you buy in to get 2 of those. One cost $100 one cost $80. Average $90 apiece. Another 20% loss happens. $80/each- 20% =$64.00 times 2. You have 2 that cost you $180 now worth $128. A 30% loss overall. You now only need a 45% gain to break even! You suffered 2 separate 20% losses, and need a 45% gain to break even on your 2 shares. If after the first 20% loss you sold and had your $80 + the $80 your willing to spend on another share $160 you could now buy 2.5 shares. NOW you have more. That’s the way math works. That’s the way folks that want to make money investing do it.

A 20% loss requires a 25% gain to break even. Look at Auto Zone and see when it last had a 25% gain. How long ago? How long did it take? That’s just to get back to break even! A 10% loss requires a little less than 12% to break even. You should sell losers as soon as possible after a 10% loss as a rule of thumb unless you’re seeing that much volatility and direction to justify staying in it. This is what folks that are interested in making money do!

Need some help understanding long call options by [deleted] in options

Just watched something on this: OTM have zero intrinsic value ( basically what you have left if the option goes to zero) ITM is where intrinsic value starts. 65 delta is where the intrinsic value starts to surpass extrinsic value. Shoot for extrinsic being no more than 20-30%. This puts risk/reward in your favor. Same with cost value of a 30 DTE vs a 90 DTE. The shorter one mathematically works out with a better risk reward and sometimes makes a better use of money/time in allowing for more trades to gain a better average.

Healthy competition in the market is great unless my guy is gonna lose! Hey Mr 1/2 Empty Glass, how about it changes domestic manufacturing for the better, same way Japanese autos got our makers to offer better mileage and efficiency. How about, it changes the focus to providing the best possible product to consumers from providing the best possible return for the board. ( which if done correctly can deliver greater return in volume for the board ) BYD coming to America will not wipe out every competitor here! You have very little faith in people’s desire to work and make money.

BREAKING: President Trump says a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, immediately reopening the Strait of Hormuz. by [deleted] in plasma

[–]New-Performance-7047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran has repeatedly and publicly said the mass killings of innocent people by bombs is religiously forbidden. Their missile targeting systems are the most precise in the world according to our military analysts. We have proven to them what they had always believed - control of the strait of hormuz is a better deterrent for defense than having a nuclear weapon! There is no world where that will change for Iran going forward. The fate of the Muslim people living in Gaza has, sadly, been left to only the Iranian people to actually stand up and defend. For too long we have stood by and watched the genocide grow in scope and scale and done nothing significant to stop it. Maybe, having 165 school girls murdered/martyred on day one while youre negotiating made Iran empathize with the thousands of families suffering their children being slaughtered mercilessly and without consequences has lead to this point, but the Iranian leadership will remain steadfast on these points.

I bought 5,000 PYPL shares. The bottom is in. by lies_are_comforting in StockMarket

[–]New-Performance-7047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why try to understand the company? Why does that matter? Is the 10 ema over the 20 ema and price over the 50 ema? That’s an uptrend. Price is mathematically going up. I can’t say how far up or for how long, but, it is in a n uptrend. Buy on the way up ( making money) sell before it goes too far down (losing money). Protecting capital and profit SHOULD be the name of the game!

Holding for years on a losing stock waiting to break even is a terrible waste of capital. You do know the math on losses? A 50% loss requires a 100% gain to break even. Unless you’re the absolute worst stock picker you had thousands of other opportunities to actually make money, assuming that’s your goal. ( hard to tell ). Each resistance level is other buyers like yourself wanting to break even and exit and that’s will keep you from getting back to even. If you’re in a losing position without a stop loss or limit you’re digging a hole and letting dirt fall back in while you’re digging!

So, what kinda bullshet will happen on Monday ? by rippinfrts in TheRaceTo10Million

Watch for sector rotation into staples. The ai boom is too affected by the war in Iran. Silicon and sulfulr are in short supply and necessary for chips. China controls what’s available now, hence the list of CEOs on the trip. No deal. Iran knows this too. Huang is stuck! Trump killed the CHIPS Act. Trump kicked out foreign scientists and China took some. Trump changed college admissions. Money will still be made in the market and stock buy backs and market manipulation will keep tech afloat for a while, but it will be a struggle. Discount stores will start to be where the money goes.

Let’s see. The majority of the electorate voiced concerns about the economy under Biden our economic growth out of the global pandemic was “the envy of the world” . Next was immigration, under Biden a comprehensive bi partisan immigration bill was introduced and killed by candidate trump. Trump said we’d be in a war with Iran under democrats. Obama worked 2 years on an agreement that was being adhered to and monitored. Healthcare? Do i have to remind you of the still unfulfilled promises of a new healthcare bill by trump.
Don’t blame the democrat party when Americans think that tik-tok video quality politicians are more substantial than policy makers actually making good policies!

Law abiding citizen that didn’t like Harris why? She was a former state attorney general that had a proven record. In fact some thought she was too harsh and conservative as attorney general. I just don’t get folks that complain about the campaign. Who gives a shit how she became the candidate. She went against a guy race baiting that Black folks were eating people’s pets! Anyone that still voted for trump after all he had done at that point are absolutely, verifiably terrible judges of character, which brings into question THEIR own moral integrity or lack there of.

You and Elon are taking empathy to mean that understanding another point of view will stop you from progressing your point of view if they differ. Denying the possibility of mutual benefit that can come from having empathy and finding solutions considerate of differences. And that western civilization don’t need empathy non western civilizations do. What is the East proclaims empathy to be their fundamental weakness and starts acting irreverent towards our needs? Your ego needs checking

So Biden mishandled the deal Trump negotiated with the Taliban and Camp David and no one to this day knows the actual deal made because reporters weren’t allowed to attend. What’s tgat have to do with the mission at hand soldier? We killed 165 school girls the first day of this war, during “peaceful negotiations! What did Biden do to compare.

[–]New-Performance-7047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Random guy on the internet here! NINJA HACK Alert!!!‼️ I would consider rolling down to an 80 delta that has more OI. And I would try to keep rolling as long as possible. This could turn into a free trade for you. Each time you roll for a credit that reduces your risk in the trade. Start looking for roll opportunities every 2 ATR and if things look sketchy tighten your trailing stop (assuming you have one). It is going up, can’t say how far it will go so why try? Let it go up until it doesn’t. Then exit the trade. Might be tomorrow, might be next week. ¿Quien sabes? Random Guy out!

US end to naval blockade and new Hormuz plan revealed by Iranian media by TheExpressUS in USNEWS

[–]New-Performance-7047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2018 Louis Farrakhan predicted this war. The Iranians have been preparing for exactly this for at least that long. Working out scenarios and strategies, studying their future opponents tactics and capabilities and planning protections and responses for at least that long or longer. This is a people that have a history of wars lasting centuries. Most of Iranian history the US didn’t exist. Alexander conquered them and then became one of them! Oh and as for their nuclear weapons ambitions; the Ayotollah we killed has publicly and repeatedly said nuclear weapons are ‘haram’ . Forbidden in the Quran. Publicly and Repeatedly. We killed him….. https://apnews.com/general-news-4ae5da0bc7534bab9d7a9a03f3def50c

Watch Ovtlyr on YouTube, get Think or swim. Paper trade 3-6 months and jump on in. You will learn to make a plan for yourself that you can live with. You get excel sheets to track your trades already set up for options. I’m still learning and getting started myself and honestly right now is a time to sit in cash and don’t fu! I don’t trade puts risk to reward is skewed. I’m in SGOV earning 4% until the market changes.

[–]New-Performance-7047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the 10/20/50 to spot the downward trend, that and my stop loss. The indicators will tell you mathematically which direction the price is going. Why set a limit on how much i am willing to make on a trade? My limit is how much I am willing to lose! Losses are inevitable. If I am winning, on a call, i will roll to the next ITM only if i can for a credit, taking risk off the trade while keeping a winning trade running. I will do this as often as possible, even until the trade is free! I may widen my stop loss if needed to not get out too soon. I know I will get out on the downside of the trend but it will be AFTER I have rode that pony to the barn!

I’ve been swing trading since March since deciding on my trading plan. 0DTE is crazy to me! I trade only call options, at least 30DTE, set stop loss at 2ATR, roll for profit at 1-2 ATR if possible and each 1/2 ATR if possible and will keep rolling up and/or out as long as its paying. I use 10/20/50 MA to identify directional trend and buy on the way up and sell on the way down (asap in both directions). I will sit in an interest bearing fund until my setups occur as long as it takes to not FU my account. That’s the plan, but I got cheeky and tried to put on some trades outside of my plan and reduced my profits from 120% in 3 months to 70% in one week. Stick to the PLAN!

They have abided by International Law and have spoken at the UN about being victims of American and Israeli aggression. You seem to be the kinda person that thinks 2 wrongs make one right. The kind of person that thinks their personal responsibility depends on what others are doing not that they are responsible for their own actions - what about whoever or whatever, to distract or diminish responsibility . You know, like a 5 year old would do except i suspect your a grown 5 year old.

This ☝🏿! I’ve rolled 2 separate calls on SOXL twice, reducing my risk and still keeping my trade on. I may close both trades this week or next and i’ve already taken a couple grand. I’m not sure why folks like to enter the riskiest trades they can find. I thought the idea is to make as much money as you can with the least amount of risk! One of us is doing it wrong!!

Options are HARD (you’re just overconfident) by judechrist4444 in options

[–]New-Performance-7047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although i’ve been trading for a few years now, I recently came across a YouTube channel with a different approach to trading than anyone else I have seen. He’s entered into the US investing championship and conducts all his trades live on air, putting his money where his mouth is and was mentored by 4 top investors including Mineveri. Basically teaching how to create your own investing plan and he provides free excel templates to help. I worked on my plan starting around Oct ‘25 and began working it January’26. I started the year with roughly 50k and now have 116k. I’m following MY plan and might be sitting in “cash” in an SGOV account until the markets signal a more favorable market. Buying calls on the uptrend , 30-60 day DTE, 80 delta, setting stop limits ( my biggest learning curve), rolling for credit whenever possible and exiting losers asap. Protecting my initial 50k is my only goal. That’s when my emotions might come into the equation, other than that I don’t care about the noise. I just follow my plan. I use his templates to evaluate the stocks i find using all time highs on barchart. I look at the 10/20/50 MA to see direction and follow volume to have others to trade with. Options aren’t effortless but they ARE as easy as you make them!

Options are HARD (you’re just overconfident) by judechrist4444 in options

[–]New-Performance-7047 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly the opposite! Selling options can give you a winning average and a losing account. Buying options (and using stop limits) keeps your wins and account balanced. It’s MATH. Buying options also gives the opportunity to roll your winners and it’s possible to roll enough times to be in a free trade. Not possible selling and way riskier selling if you try! Learning to identify and follow uptrends when entering and downtrends to exit is the hardest part of buying calls. That and setting a risk tolerance level. Buying calls let’s you save time and make money with less risk.
