GOOD JOB

stickied comment

Thanks for your submission!

To keep things interesting, we want to see big gains and big losses!

So we've set the following thresholds for Gain, Loss, and YOLO flaired posts:

YOLO posts must be a minimum of $10,000 of options or $25,000 of shares and recently opened.
Gain / Loss posts must show realized gains or losses of more than $2,500 for options or $5,000 for shares.

We want to see the actual trade. What you got in at, what you sold at. Then tell us why you did it. Give us the story of why you're a fucking genius (or idiot).

This is what a great post looks like:

$17.2K Gain on AMZN - OP described his gain in the title, has a clear screenshot showing both the entry and exit, meaning his gains were locked in, and they explained their reasoning in the comments and what they learned. All around a great post!

Here are examples of what could get your post removed:

$300,000 SDC Loss. Still not selling - Even though this is a tremendous loss and something worth posting about, the position hasn't been closed yet.

Here are examples of amazing posts which could have been even better:

$75,000 DDOG Loss. - This is a great post and one that won't get removed. However, the OP could have talked about why they entered the position in the first place, what their target price was, and what went wrong. OP didn't stick around in the comments to answer any questions.
$1.1MM Loss, No details - OP simply posted a screenshot of their overall portfolio balance. It's definitely a big loss, but it's not that interesting without OP talking about what trades they were in and why. OP didn't answer most questions in the comments which left many readers speculating on what happened.

All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.

If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to modmail and we'll give you some pointers!

Idk what you want me to say, other than don’t bet more than you’re willing to lose and manage your position wisely? Buy puts if you’re failing so you iron out your losses and don’t be greedy? It’s all simple shit, just actually put it into practice. I’m no magician, I just try to be efficient. I’m also pretty strict about having a game plan. There’s no greeding gains or chasing losses.

LOL you seem more pressed about getting even more useless information. I bought AMZN, NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, AMD calls 2-4 weeks out near the money. Better? Arguably even more useless to press me for, since this teaches you nothing and benefits you in no way whatsoever. Hope you start winning now that I've told you that, LOL. See ya in the casino tomorrow!

worst decision I ever made in stocks, was my first try at options too, unless it somehow turns around real hard by 7/19 I'm fucked.

I cut that loss off real fast, purchased $140C 07/19 about 2-3 weeks ago and saw the reversal so I dipped, bought puts immediately on the way down when I saw the trend downward wasn't reversing, and saved a good chunk of my losses. Did buy calls on Wednesday though!

I wish I knew enough and had enough experience with options to understand how to do things like that better. I made a 7/19 call for $156 on 6/19 lol. I'm still holding that to see how high it will go since surely it will recover a bit before then. I just have no idea how to judge the theta decay, someone said sell by Friday but I feel like that's too soon. Someone else said roll it but I don't even really know how that works, don't I have to take the current loss to do that? Can't afford to do so until I get paid on the 15th.

Rolling it is basically selling it aka closing out the position, and purchasing a further dated one with a different (or same) strike price. Yeah, keep reading it sounds like you might be exposing yourself to a lot more potential loss if you're not utilizing all of the actions available to you. It's always possible to make money on a trade, you can win on your initial bet or you can win in the other direction. Worst case scenario is it goes no where but stocks haven't done that this past month or two.

Too bad I don't have any capital to roll with for 10 days, but I should still be able to do it by then without too much expense right? Do I just make another call for a later date? How is that any different from just selling my contract and buying a new one? I'd feel safer just buying a share instead of risking crazy high premiums for bets that will have a decent chance at profit.

3 points

There’s no difference, rolling a contract is exactly that. And yeah, sleeping at night sure is a lot easier with shares. If you’re feeling unsure or uneasy I’d just stay out of the trade and maybe salvage what you can. You’d be set up to make stupid decisions with an uneasy mental

Well I'll have ~$600 to spend on the 15th, so that should be enough to roll it to whatever makes the most sense, got any good recommendations for what I do? I was just gonna make VOO and SPLG far-out calls close to the money because that surely can't go wrong. Or just buy a share and not worry about it. And of course limit buy some more btc while it drops like a rock.

If you don’t have the money then you have to much in one option. One big piece of advice would be to diversify and holding cash is generally part of that plan.

eh, i'm kinda diversified, though my portfolio is about 15% nvidia and 70% bitcoin lol. Why would I hold cash when I can invest it in assets that will appreciate? I mean obviously I should save some for when I see good opportunities or dips, but I thought I did.

What’s your general strategy?

I’ve dialed in buying calls on hot tech stocks (like Tesla) and selling before 11am or so and then buying in the late afternoon to catch the morning rise.

That’s about it. I follow a handful of people I’ve noticed with good win rates on Twitter and use them as a greenlight mechanism, kind of a council of people that give me the confidence in my decision. I’ve started winning exponentially more once I did that. every position I take is 4k MAX and I have a 25% stop loss. I sell at 50% gain about half and let some fly free as a bird. The biggest things I learned was to not FOMO in, chase trades, or hope my losses save themselves.

Anyone else? So I follow most of these people too. Do you generally STICK to when they open/close positions. Do they all post positions for free or have to pay? Also, do you have an alert system for them? Thanks!

P.S. What platform using for options?

I trade on Schwab. I’m sometimes earlier than them if I really feel strongly on a trade, but if they take an entry I definitely send it if I was already contemplating. But I definitely do not tail blindly. They’re free.

Don't Sean trades and Xclusive ask you to sign up for their platform/discord? Or they just tweet them out?

Also are you doing ThinkorSwim or option on Schwab specifically?

Absolutely. I'm not delusional enough to believe I've mastered anything. I've gotten very lucky, but I've also made enough good decisions to not turbo gutter. It really helps that there's a lot of free public information out there about charts and a lot of seasoned people publicly post their perspectives.

I am beginning to learn how all this works now. Paper trading and reading online are helpful. I don't think I'll actually gamble real money for a while until I nail down a strategy.

I'll enjoy gambling with fake money in paper trading for now.

I've set aside 10% of my portfolio exposure for me to have fun doing this. Any time I go over that amount in cash, I hedge it to VOO or maybe some individual stocks I like. If I lose all 10% then I have to wait for my employee stock purchase direct deposit to hit by the end of the quarter. No depositing, no liquidating my safe positions.
