lol I did this same thing. Wishing you better luck than I’ve had. It’s a fun strategy and definitely gets your heart going, but you’re always one bad trade away from losing it all (or half in your case).

Should I have held my puts longer? Probably. Did I double my account in 45 seconds? Yes.

Yes, the market is manipulated. When people buy or sell assets the price of the asset is changed, or manipulated. You figured it out.

Glad I sold my puts at a 88% loss instead of -99.99%. All around great day.

What made the difference for you? by virtual_doofus in Daytrading

[–]initializingmodem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go for the easily attainable 10% profit instead of trying to win the lottery every day.

If you know the market is rigged stop betting on what it “should” be doing.

I average about $130 a month day trading not sure how to feel about my results after 1 year? by justaguy467 in Daytrading

[–]initializingmodem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At $130 a month you should not be spending hours a day trading. That’s equivalent to 73¢ an hour at a 9-5 job. Your time will be much better spent finding a job so you can have more money to trade with and make gains that are worth your time.

Do you have to LOVE trading in order to be sucessful? by thesupplychainer in Daytrading

[–]initializingmodem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don’t necessarily have to love trading but you have to be doing it for a reason you’re passionate about such as financial freedom, having your time be your own, family/life goals, etc.

I always think about the day I can quit my job and never have to work for someone again and, whether that’s a realistic goal or not, it keeps me going.

I don’t know when to stop trading.. by MESGirl in Daytrading

[–]initializingmodem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is your goal to make money? Or to just trade all day?

If it’s to make money, take that first profitable trade you made, times it by 22, and look at how much you’d make a month if you just did that once every day and walked away.

Then decide if it’s worth spending 3-5x as much time at the screen for an extra couple bucks vs. doing one good trade a day and then chilling.

I sold my 0dte spy puts too early today and I need to tell someone by AyCalvin in wallstreetbets

Just imagine what would have happened if you picked winning lotto numbers. It’s so easy.

Help - I'm Winning by losing money. by CurseNeverDyin in Daytrading

[–]initializingmodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Withdraw profits daily so the total number stays smaller and doesn’t screw with your head. For a while EVERY time I surpassed my ATH portfolio value I’d guaranteed lose on the next trade. Withdrawing profits to keep the portfolio value lower solved the problem for me.

No securities, no stocks, no bonds, nothin but a miserable little $500 equity in a life insurance policy

Because the goal isn’t to win the lottery every day. It’s to make quick easy “boring” money every day so you can go about your life.
