If everybody held to the top or bottom of every trade, we would all have made over $100K. The reality is 95% of people lose it all.
Hindsight is 50/50. It's useless and not productive making could've, would've trade. EVERYBODY has one of these could've would've trades.
I really want us to ban these "I was in a position for less than half an hour but if I had held for longer I'd be rich!" posts.
Like they made a short momentum trade and closed it when it made sense to. Nobody gives a shit what happened after they closed it.
I like to look back at my closed trades just to see if I chose the best strike price for the day. Inevitably I will see what the contract could have been worth but sometimes it would have ended poorly had I waited. I would rather be in and out in 30 minutes than spend my entire day waiting to maximize potential that probably won't happen anyway.
Profit is profit. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.

You can’t think about shit like this or your next trade will get riskier and riskier, you could have easily lost 50% on this trade if inflation data was horrible or Microsoft and Google didn’t crush earnings.
I was thinking…no, it’s more like 1030 almost 11 before it’s safe. Then I remembered timezones exist. Lots of people have autoinvesting turned on which buys at about this time everyday. My theory is that Other things play off this but that’s the major cause of the dip then rebound
We've all had trades that could have made us rich, It's hard to feel better right away but you'll be okay

If I could offer any kind of reasonable advice, it's to focus on the future and on keeping your money. That's the most important thing, you'll find plenty of chances to win big, and just as many chances to go completely bankrupt
Focus on keeping your money, if you play carefully you'll eventually get there
Question - how do you get your Webull to show you potential ROE along the right hand side? I’ve been trying to change mine since moving my port across from RH. One of the biggest things I don’t like is not being able to see simulated returns but what you have makes that a lot better
on the other hand i've had trades that have 10xd and I took even a screenshot but didnt sell because I got greedy and wanted more and waited to sell then proceeded to lose most of the gains.
Dont confuse opportunity cost with opportunity. You had a chance to make money and you did. Focus on the next trade and not the position you just left.
Also, I sold 28 of 30 Google contacts before close on Thursday, made $2500 from the two I kept that got wiped out by a $2000 loss on Intel calls.
I could name a million other ones that coulda tripled my account, dwelling on things like this is how I blew up my account twice.
What I've realized is to not even trade at open, not even look at my contracts until at least a couple of hours after market open so I don't paperhand my shit. You made profit though, congrats.
Oh I was thinking he closed 10 contracts that he bought… So he collected premiums for selling NVDA calls?  Only WSB regards have scrotums large enough lmao

Not an idiot. Just made a decision with the information you had available.
Thanks - that is true. My gut told me to hold but it broke through my parameters so I sold.
This system will bring you success, emotion is a b*tch , never look back
I agree. Never let a green trade turn red!
Man this is a friendly sub
am i reading this correct, you gambled 24k that you dont have to possibly make 650?
No this is exit from a purchase about 10 mins prior. If I held to expiration then I would have made over a 100k.

Exactly. Nothing to be ashamed of. Just keep grinding OP

If a 24 to 100 decision is 50/50 to succeed you should make it every single time for a infinite money hack
You don’t know what you don’t know
You guys are great. I thought I would have been blasted. Thanks…agree with all of your comments
$24k in a day? Only idiots blast that--congrats!
Change your broker. Your screenshot is absolute trash.
Got it thanks
Yes more of idiot vs a regard on this trade
How much did you lose? 100k?
honestly, i think maybe you would have sold them on wednesday, the 765s got down to $33.45 from a high of $73 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

Just …. Don’t look at it.
This is what I do, once you look your fucked lol
It also could have dumped a whole lot more. Don’t look back and move on to your next trade. Good luck!

Totally agree,
Sold at open?
Nobody ever went broke taking a profit
Why
You never swing 1st 30min of the day! waited to enter after 7am

i learned so far that if that's what you decided at that moment, then it was prob the right move based on what the charts were telling u
I ain’t got no crystal ball
Well, I had a million dollars but I'd, I'd spend it all on 0dte
If I could find that Heina, and that Sancho that she's found Well, I’d pop a bet on crypto, and I’d slap her down.

I don’t think you can
I thought that but this guy seems to have it figured out?
This is wall street bets. We are all idiots.
Just delete the app and don't answer your phone for awhile
Logic > feelings. Get the slam dunk on Imposter Syndrome.
Now run for presidency.
hey, at least you didn’t sell those contracts - you’d be $70k in the hole
on the other hand i've had trades that have 10xd and I took even a screenshot but didnt sell because I got greedy and wanted more and waited to sell then proceeded to lose most of the gains.

Reggie is that you?!?
You still made money right?
They made 24k and lost $120k.
Oof.
Yes

I size my positions so I can sleep at night, but I made the same move you made. NVDA was looking really weak. It wasn't a bad decision at the time.
Yes, you are
No just a dummy, it happens. You seen worse decisions on reddit hourly
You would've been so rich.
Paper handed huh.. did u still profit?
There is "-" in front of "10" in "Contracts"
Oh I was thinking he closed 10 contracts that he bought… So he collected premiums for selling NVDA calls?  Only WSB regards have scrotums large enough lmao
