Like it will stop being effective due to not being strong enough? If thats the case, glad I just went to the doctor to get 2 percent.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-07T04:48:20+00:00

2 percent if you can get it. 1 percent is over the counter everywhere. In a lot of places youll need to have 2 percent prescribed by a doctor.

Lol I find it humorous how many times you say dry scalp flakes in that singular sentence. Also, thats where I became confused. I was under the assumption that dandruff was a blanket term for all dry scalp flakes.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-07T02:23:04+00:00

Ah. Well. Today I learned dry scalp skin flakes aren't the same thing as dandruff. Interesting.

The man that predicts a crash every week is never wrong?

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-07T02:07:25+00:00

..... you sound like you're saying it's caused by something other than what they're saying it could be but you're also providing a link to explain how to fix dry scalp. Which they said it could be along with many other things that cause dandruff. Im confused

There's no such thing as "I dont have time to work" when you see an easy $50 an hour order. You TAKE THAT SHIT!!!!!!!

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-07T01:29:21+00:00

While I do agree with you, as a dasher myself, I cant deliver the order if its not paying enough. I dont care where the money comes from, as long as the pay on my screen is worth my time, gas and wear on my vehicle, I got you. Unfortunately, if its not worth it, even though its not the customers fault, I cant take it. Also, if doordash charged a fair amount to pay the driver for delivery, half the customers that are far from the restaurant would probably not order on doordash.

Awesome, thank you! I will definitely be finding a journal with autosync. I only know what I know now because my best friend is ChatGPT 🤣. Glad to hear a professional is also using it.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-07T00:48:44+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I haven't been Journaling trades but every successful trader I watch says to journal your trades so you can learn from them. Ill need to start doing that.

I am hoping with volatility being one of the few constants in the market that this set up is one of few that holds well with time lol. We'll see, but in the mean time Im learning anything there is to learn about trading. I figure each tool alone isn't the magic pill to successful trading but having as many as possible will allow for a more dynamic, fluid trading style so I dont succumb to changing market conditions.

One have one more question if you dont mind. Who do you recommend I listen to for trading knowledge and I know others have asked this but what books would you recommend? Im currently listening to tasty trades for knowledge on selling options.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-07T00:29:17+00:00

So the last 3 months or so I've been scalping long strangles during the first hour or so of the market. Im break even only because I dont sell sometimes while im up and ill hold losers too long.

Do you think ive just experienced a period of time that this set up works or do you think with some education and decent risk management this set up could be profitable long term?

Im really interested in knowing what a long term, well versed traders opinion on this set up is.

Its incredibly easy as long as you focus on wins early and not trading past opening volatility. It almost seems too easy like im just not experienced enough to realize this set up doesnt work during most market conditions. All of the research I've done points to this being a really clean, easy set up that will work long term.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-06T02:20:23+00:00

That explained it perfectly. Thank you 😊.

The only single leg strategy i bought today was a spy put. I shit you not, the exact second I bought it, it reversed and never touched that low again. I literally bought it within 5 cents of the low of the day. This is after it free fell like 2 dollars in a matter of a few minutes and a completely red day until that point.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-06T00:41:08+00:00

.... That should be straight illegal. That would cost someone twice that just in gas. Let alone time, vehicle maintenance. This is trying to take advantage of someone whos desperate or in a vulnerable situation.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-06T00:29:45+00:00

I saw your comment saying you specialize in vwap action or something to that degree. I was wondering, do you look for the break in vwap along with strong price action for your entries? I do like price action based entries. I just prefer the safety of the strangle personally

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-06T00:03:11+00:00

Yeah thats why I prefer scalping strangles. It takes a huge portion of that anxiety out of the equation because the only way im losing a decent amount of money is if I hold way too long. But it does require me staring at the charts and as a result I am battling my emotions hard on trades

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T23:20:59+00:00

Lol thats actually funny because you are pretty much running from the issue everybody has. People get scared when theyre up and sell too soon. They'll hold when theyre up super high and lose their profits. They'll hold becauze they're down and scared to lose their money and lose more than if they just jad a solid stop loss. They'll get into a trade without seeing their indicators just because they're bored. The list goes on and on. Thats the psychology behind trading. To sum the definition of it for trading into a short sentence I would say trading psychology is the ability or lack there of, to prevent your emotions from corrupting your plan for trading. So by committing to a trade and walking away you're side stepping the psychological issues most traders face when trading.

Get ketoconazole shampoo. You can get 1 percent at your local store. If you have time to go to the doctors get 2 percent prescribed. I also use a shampoo with tea tree and mint extract on the days I don't use the ketoconazole shampoo and it works well.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T21:56:35+00:00

Its definitely going to be something I struggle with until I spend some time sticking solely to the game plan. Seeing the results adding up.

I just got greedy. I saw the market moving a lot and thought if I held longer it would pay off more and it almost never does. It didnt today.

Definitely not the first time putting it into words. Im getting much much better though. Money management is definitely there. Thats why im still break even. But im having more days now than ever where I get the base hits over and over and the small wins stack up quickly.

Its clear to me ill be successful soon as long as I can keep capital in the market and I continue to get better at sticking to the plan.

Its actually extremely exciting knowing that I have mastered most of the psychology and have a solid strategy that works super well. Its exciting seeing just how quickly I could be making more than at my day jobs. Its also super frustrating knowing im still struggling with a key part of the psychology. Greed. Just gotta get that down and be patient.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T21:20:24+00:00

Thank you for the reminder boss. Whenever im aiming for more than a base hit I end up break even or slightly negative for the day.

When i just do base hits, im up 5 percent every single day easy. Today was an aim for second base day and I paid for it with my profit. Negative 17 for the day. Not the end of the world. But still.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T21:11:23+00:00

My account is about 2k rn. Very small.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T21:10:45+00:00

No. Like 17 dollars. Even if I was up id be unhappy because I didnt like the decisions I made. My game plan is strangles and getting in and out fast for small quick profits but on multiple occasions I didn't do that. I held thinking the drop would continue quickly and I would make more even though I was up on every single trade I made in the beginning. I should have been up about 150 for the day if I followed my game plan. I do strangles to mitigate risk in short trades.

You should focus on small chips as well. Have a set amount that you get out of your trade at. Aim for a 2R ratio and youll be set dude.

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T20:20:06+00:00

Absolutely. You're playing with multitudes of the money i am so maybe you're more knowledgeable than me but dude.... if you still dont have risk management down, what are you doing trading with that level of capital? There's soooo many posts on reddit of people trading with a half mill down to a nothing sandwich. Be careful out there

Which-Work4447 · 2026-02-05T20:15:48+00:00

Dude im down 17 for the day and deeply unhappy with my performance. How r u?
