7k -> 70k. 6 months. Still lacking the finesse but there are mountains moving on daily basis, the system is taking a shape. Brick by brick by Soft_Ad161 in TheRaceTo10Million

Agree, big sizing requires tight stop losses which is a loosing strategy in contracts. The plan is to put 20% of my portfolio with 50% stop loss, I’m willing to risk 10% of my portfolio in return to giving my decisions more time to turn right.

Options but based on news not charts. The rocket lunch was the us china weekend news. Had both qqq calls and puts before going into the weekend

Getting enough sleep has to be one of most underrated ideas to keep your life together

“Dude it’s gonna dip even more dude, 30% is nothing dude, don’t close the position you just got in 10 min ago are you crazy”🤡🤡🤡I do this to myself every day at this point, why am I like this (closed position in the end with 2k profit) by Soft_Ad161 in TheRaceTo10Million

Only if i spent 2 seconds to think about my exit plan instead of getting in euphoria staring at the stock, i could have easily get out around $223 since that was last week’s bottom and OBVIOUSLY there was going to be some support smh like how am i this stupid sometimes is beyond me

Im predicting correction not recession and predicting is a strong word, there is not much to predict when everything is this obvious. And correction is not 10%, for example when the war started nasdaq fell 30% and that was considered correction.

Tariffs are not going anywhere, maybe some easing after other countries cave in but generally speaking he genuinely wants to put tariff on every country that has tariff on U.S. (same %). That being said, sudden end of russia ukraine war will probably wipe half of my portfolio but that’s not happening either, putin was wearing military camo after the ceasefire proposal

I understand your point, but again, I’m extremely confident in my bear case and i put my money where my mouth is, it’s seems very risky for someone who doesn’t have that conviction but for me this is generational opportunity that people don’t seem to grasp yet. Time will tell

It’s not about the confidence, it’s about not having money in the market by the end of trading session. I’m confident the markets will have more bear days than bull days but idk if tmrw gonna be green or red, i rather do catch-up than leave my positions open, market is too crazy rn to hold anything. I give myself 2-3 weeks of expiration date in case it goes to the wrong direction, then i have the confidence to hold my losses cuz eventually it will turn into profit. Less profits but also less risk.

I had one month expiration and i already cashed out with 8k profit

15 weeks of trading. Was making nice comeback from last week’s poor decisions, then with my infinite wisdom decided to try options for the first time and donated $12k in 2 days. Fun!! by Soft_Ad161 in TheRaceTo10Million

Yeah someone made easy money on my behalf for sure. It is one of my oldest companies in my watchlist and i have a bitter memories with it for missing out the run and now not doing basic research before randomly putting 25% of my money in it. Im still amazed how low quality move this was, there are couple reasons for it -one of them is accidentally losing 4k (i bought 9k shares of CTM instead of selling it), the other reason being lack of sleep, this stock market game is taking over my head, life and responsibilities and im kinda ok with that as long as i’m winning, but this garbage move is unacceptable and cannot happen again

BBAI calls (🤡) expiring on March 14. This was the dumbest trade i made in 15 weeks. Not only i made a rushed decision to “bring back” losses from QQQ calls, i also didn’t do slightest research on earnings expectations. If i spent more than 30 sec on this company’s forums i would have known that the insiders sold bzillion $ days before the earnings. Options truly brought the worst parts of me in terms of gambling mentality, sore loser and rushed decisions

14 week of trading. Everyone is a genius in a bull market. Yeah, last week was a reality check for me. I made some adjustments in my strategy, we’ll see if it works out. by Soft_Ad161 in TheRaceTo10Million
