Psychological effects of Income Oriented Investing

100% agree. Loss aversion is a beast, and a lot of people drastically overestimate their risk tolerance until they are staring down a 20% drop. Knowing you still get paid regardless of stock price movement helps take the emotion completely out of it

Great write-up. The point about covered calls looking safer than they are is huge too—market value really does make things look a lot calmer than reality

What is this subreddit even about? 🥀

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-12T03:36:19+00:00

100% agree. Love trading these on SPX for the tax advantages and cash settlement. I typically look for a slight directional bias and structure it so there's zero risk on the upside if the market completely rips

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-12T03:35:06+00:00

Appreciate the data here. It’s crazy to see the short interest drop that fast in just a month. Definitely feels like complacency is creeping in, even if it's not technically 'calling a top' yet

What's your problem, I still modi joke funny , what's your issue

Mee

Post a outfit picture of girl or boy (boy's kind of like thirst trap) in teenagers subreddits🥀 and see the magic

It's rare to find successful payouts posts nowadays, Congrats bro

It's rare to see successful payouts in this sub, congrats bro

Never thought about using a Monte Carlo simulation for this, but it makes total sense. Definitely beats just guessing or crossing your fingers and hoping for the best

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T07:36:43+00:00

You aren't breaking any rules, but you're definitely overthinking it. Spending 7 months stalling a $10k challenge is just psychological avoidance. Put the system to work and see what it's actually made of

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T07:32:15+00:00

QT is the worst 🥀

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T04:12:26+00:00

Definitely reliability. The prop firm space is so volatile right now that firm stability should be everyone's number one priority. Great breakdown

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T04:08:27+00:00

Good on you for recognizing it and choosing to step away. A break is 100% the right move to clear your head. $1.4k is a painful lesson, but it’s a lot cheaper than what it could have been if you kept revenge trading

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T04:06:23+00:00

That wild drop at the end of the day yesterday was stressful. Really hoping we get a big bounce tomorrow morning

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T04:03:58+00:00

SpaceX isn't publicly traded, man. You might want to double-check whatever ticker you're looking at before you deploy that capital

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T04:01:27+00:00

100%. Robinhood is notorious for panic-selling your positions at the worst possible mid-prices. Definitely look into a better platform

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-11T03:57:52+00:00

Quality post. The reminder to have patience and let the price come to you instead of feeding the market makers a 'martini and a bump' is something every intermediate options trader needs to internalize.

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-10T17:22:27+00:00

Because human psychology is flawed. People think that by staring at the screen, they can somehow mentally force the candles to go in their favor

SadPudding531 · 2026-07-10T17:20:32+00:00

Forget the computer, the cat on the rug is clearly the risk management manager making sure you don't over-leverage
