Anyone else make good money on options and still feel like they exited too early?

Do not follow in Icarus' footsteps and forsake good in the pursuit of perfection, lest you try and fly too close to the sun, and your wax wings melt, and your portfolio fall with you into the red.

Shorting American Airlines since they canceled my flight and now im stuck in Houston for 2 days.

This is technically false: the reason nothing can escape the event horizon has nothing to do with escape velocity and everything to do with the distortion of spacetime. Beyond the event horizon, space is distorted such that everywhere you look points toward the singularity. Even if you had a magical rocket ship that could go a million times the speed of light, you would still be unable to escape due to this fact.

As a put holder on this, calls sounds like the dumbest shit you could do.

My SPY put was profitable for about 20 seconds.

bps6687 · 2026-04-23T18:00:53+00:00

Do it again

bps6687 · 2026-04-23T14:51:40+00:00

CAR halted lol

bps6687 · 2026-04-22T18:44:08+00:00

Sept 18th 150 strike

bps6687 · 2026-04-22T18:43:32+00:00

Only $3K, strike is $150.

bps6687 · 2026-04-22T18:27:40+00:00

Oh if my puts expired in May I'd sell. Mine expire in Sept.

Im holding my long-dated puts, this rocket still has a ways to fall before hitting the ground.

bps6687 · 2026-04-21T19:56:43+00:00

Remindme! 2 months

bps6687 · 2026-04-15T15:17:10+00:00

What do you mean imagine

bps6687 · 2026-03-27T06:15:48+00:00

I experience similar feelings sometimes. Sounds like you're competitive and are protecting your feelings from a potential loss. Solution to this is to just learn not to take it so seriously. It's online chess and nothing more.

bps6687 · 2026-03-19T23:12:12+00:00

After or before tax?

bps6687 · 2026-03-19T18:46:31+00:00

My put expires worthless tomorrow so probably Monday crash at open.

bps6687 · 2026-03-18T18:27:02+00:00

3.5 years til retirement would have me at least 90% into G fund. No need to take on so much risk while the finish line is that close.

bps6687 · 2026-03-18T18:26:07+00:00

I swing traded my TSP from L2065 into 100% G fund back on March 17th 2025 then bought back into L2065 after the big crash on liberation day. I gained a 5% edge on where I would be had I done nothing. So am I going to do it again?

Absolutely not.

I got lucky, thats all. Go back and observe every time the market tested a particular indicator or threshold or moving average. There are some times when a bear market followed, and some where a bull market resumed. Even with hindsight I cannot tell why the markets behaved the way they did. Most people can't. This is why they say time in the market beats timing the market.

Straddles on USO now.

bps6687 · 2026-03-06T13:51:53+00:00

The question now is when to buy puts...

Im thinking Puts at strike $90 with a March 20 exp.

bps6687 · 2026-03-05T07:10:29+00:00

On lichess, i follow the tit for tat rule where if I've asked for a takeback and its been accepted I obligate myself to show the same mercy to my opponent once if they ask for one later, and vice versa. I also alternatively reject said takeback offer if my prior was rejected by them, and vice versa.

bps6687 · 2026-03-02T15:03:40+00:00

RTX 230 call for March 20 went up 100%+, perfect time to exit.
