20K loss from 200 contracts, SPY 637p exp 03/31 – 0DTE puts

    The most aggravating thing is that I only started with 50 and was up $2,500 and was about to sell but decided to put some dirty dishes in the dishwasher first only to see it flip, then kept yoloing more thinking it would keep trending down 😬🫠🤮🤮🤮🤮

    I had many put plays the past month that ended up being correct but I always sold for peanut gains despite being longer term positions and then I got greedy and impatient and started doing 0DTE, finally got burned big time. The fate of all 🌈 🐻

    Inb4 “your loss on the position was only 12K in the screenshot”, I was day trading and kept rebuying into the position so the final position is just the most aggressive position I had and it all went to 0

    Also the AI/bot trying to flag me for not losing enough to post a loss 🤣🤣🤣🫠

      You still have another 20k to make it back tomorrow. The beauty of buying 0DTE is that the max you can lose is 100%, but you can make 1000% on days like this.

      I heard you man! I lost half of my account too $8k. Very similar! How did qqq goes up 3.5% single day?

      Feeling the same way rn, ur not alone. The market is irrational all because president of Iran mentioned that he would be open to starting negotiations lol but that guy doesn’t even control the military core or anything. Its all hopium

      You were fighting against EOM rebalance . some huge buyers hitting the tape today. And the JPM collar got murdered.

      They lost half a billion dollars on that trade since yesterday.

      Sorry bud you picked the wrong day

    6. The questions is not “why you did that”, it’s “how much more 0DTE are you gonna do tomorrow?”

    7. 100 percent you put this in tomorrow. You chose the wrong day is all. Start small, like 50 puts, at 643, and walk away. Need to do this at the open. Maybe 5k will make you 40k and you can call it a good week.

      It had to be puts. Because you are smart. You watched “The Big Short” at least five times.
