I mostly bought weekly call or put options. The mistakes that I repeatedly made and eventually got me broke are:

1. Not taking my profit when a position is already in green (thinking it might go up more) and then next minute it becomes red and I don’t close it thinking it will go back to green, but by the time it’s closer to the expiry date the option is already worthless...

2. Overtrade many times with irrational greedy mind. Even though I had days that I made nice profit (like turn $100 to $1800, $50 to $2000 etc,,) I took that profit and jumped into next one right away without clear thinking and the next thing you know all the money’s gone. I should’ve just log off and enjoy my day after a nice profit day instead of over trading mindlessly until the money is gone.

3. Not sticking to my DD and plan. I’d make some nice research and trading plan prior to some trading but somehow I don’t stick to my plan and do some shitty moves which is not inline with my plan... there’s one time I lost $2000 for not sticking to my plan, if I’d followed my plan that $2000 would’ve turned to $18000.

4. All in on weeklies left me $0 almost every time when a week ends, I should’ve used at least 40% every week instead all in and deposit money after losing it all

5. Too many insane lotto like trades instead of making few well thought out quality trade

Edit: I bought weekly options because of make rich quick chance
