I have been trading with a $25k account for the last year and was doing okay, pretty much breaking even and then like a drug started playing around with 0DTE options mostly QQQ and Spy hoping for the Christmas rally that didn't arrive till I had already sunk my own battleship.
Wish me luck as I swear off options and slowly struggle to get back to break even this year.
Oh and like a true regard I sold of some of my Roth IRA to fund my addiction.
