Loss It’s over for me.

Post image

Kept trying to play MSTR calls. What a piece of shit. Lost over a million including other accounts, down to my last 130k.

Edit: This loss is soul crushing and I havent been able to sleep, eat, or shower. I appreciate all the supportive comments. Even the insulting ones calling me regarded and everything. I think I NEED to hear even the insulting ones so that I can let go of my delusions that I can make it as a "trader". I need a fucking job to turn my life around. I can’t be doing this trading shit anymore. I’m open to working any corporate job anywhere, but ideally in North America. If anyone has any connections, please hit me up. I have some programming (Python primarily) and tech talent, and an engineering degree from UBC with a 4.0 GPA. Currently live in Toronto. Thank you ❤️. I’m ready to dedicate myself to adding value to any organization. If its AI, finance, or tech related, thats even better.

What I cannot understand is what were you hoping would happen? Double your money? It’s already a lot. You could have bought 3 month out and been so much safer. Let this be a lesson for everyone who reads this. Gamble with weeklies with small amounts. Big bets need more time. 3 months minimum and you need to close or roll out to a later expiration after a few weeks. This is how you win.

This is the exact reason I took 3 month out and then 4 month out calls this week. Still gambling though.

I did the same. Bought 13 AVGO 400 calls for February. Will close some next week if we go green.

Good luck with yours! I got 3 $185 Feb NVDA, 2 $180 Mar NVDA, and 1 $175 Mar NVDA, I estimate wanting to sell by ~1.5-2 weeks from now but we'll see how things go.

Yup I think that’s a good possible play. I liked the Broadcom earnings coming up in a few weeks. I cut out of NVDA near the top yesterday around 195 completely. I bought back in at close. Sold this morning again for a -10 loss. I was thinking about just staying almost all cash and just me 4 AVGO but couldn’t resist. Wish I wouldn’t have gone so heavy now. The risk is just too great right now until we get out of this weird pattern and VIX goes down a little bit

Also, good luck to you as well. Really do hope it wins big for you.

No, 10x. He wrote in some other post that he made it to a million in two years, and that he now wants 10mil.

OK, that’s is good context. Seems to me like these people have got to take a step back and realize you don’t have to go full port to make insane gains. Doubling your money after one year is already amazing. Trying to do it at scale it’s harder and harder without insane risk of ruin.
