I've read some amazing posts these past 6 months - ridiculous comebacks and wins - that person who run 1700 up to 30k last week, another from a few months back who turned 8k into 237k in a week - that's burnt in my memory. And it always seems to involve 0DTE of some sort. I shouldn't find this inspiring, but I do.
I'm in a drawdown at the moment and interested to hear stories from everyone - those who YOLO'd their way back to glory, but also those who took a more measured, methodical approach - what was your mindset? Especially on shitty Robinhood with thumbing your phone, persistently slow/failed entries, no bracket orders etc.
How did you bring your account back from the brink of extinction? How long did it take?
