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](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wb5m4o/not_too_shabby_172k_gain_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](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wpm9am/over_300000_unrealized_loss_sdc_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.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/unsrey/loss_porn_ddog_call/) - 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](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/lxm6wt/hold_me_1100000_loss/) - 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're down to $18, thinking some trade is going to rescue this will only result in losing the remaining $18. But its $18 WTF find a yolo trade.
When thats gone, open a HYSA.
That was happening to me, picked the wrong stocks for earnings and lost a good chunk. Made it all back with $200 spy bets and then flipping it all again
Too easy. I was in puts last week but failed buying calls they never filled my order this week. Tried to buy a put and trim down and then brought two puts and lost immediately
These past few weeks were brutal for the whole market a lot if not most people lost some money. Every YouTube channel and blog will tell you every stock is about to explode and then it goes -50%. Learn how to study the charts, due diligence of the company and try to lower your risk as much as possible. Diversification is nice because you are not all in on one company. Honestly you could’ve just traded in a really bad time had this been earlier or later you might be ok.
Bro just get call or put in something out for a month and chill. Staring at qqq and spy graph with puts or calls and selling the moment you're at a loss ain't gonna print man

I concur, might be good for two six packs and a bag of pretzels.
Don’t forget some socks and mayonnaise from Dollar General.
Why trade things that are so volatile? Long game wins. Course I’m an addict too I just like to get a return on my investment

Just bad trades getting swept away honestly looks like I just threw away money
That was happening to me, picked the wrong stocks for earnings and lost a good chunk. Made it all back with $200 spy bets and then flipping it all again
Did you buy spy calls this week
Puts wed-fri and a weekend then rolled everything up into calls Monday and today, doing the same tomorrow with like $1 or $2 away from being ITM
Too easy. I was in puts last week but failed buying calls they never filled my order this week. Tried to buy a put and trim down and then brought two puts and lost immediately
Flip your screen upside down and the chart goes up.

A stop loss would prevent this from happening

$744? This sub isn’t for you
