I used to look at all these liquidation posts and judge them hard, but I guess it’s my turn today. It started a year ago with a few LEAPS positions, then slowly selling all my VOO to average down losses, last month is where the ultimate degeneracy started - I went from weekly LEAPS management to day trading weeklies in pursuit of reaching an arbitrary psychological number (if you are in a similar position please just be happy where you are), and started taking riskier trades each day. Yesterday I bought NFLX calls and got burnt hard and in an attempt to make that up tried 0DTE for the first time (I know), buying high and selling at the first sign of reversal, did that 4x and boom I’m officially liquidated. From 50k USD end of OCT to 1K now … the only silver lining is I’ll get a 9k commission refund next month that I will transfer that out to my bank. I’m also lucky to have 2 smaller accounts on the on the side that I disabled options on. I really hope I learnt my lesson and that this is the end of my financial degeneracy. Please only trade options in separate dedicated accounts, you are not an exemption to all of these posts. I lost couple years of my frugal savings in the past few days, and worse than that stocks became the central focus of my life past year preventing me from living life in the moment. I knew I was fucking up all along the way, and that the best decision was to just stop, but it was like my brain was hijacked, I ironically feel much lighter now. And oh btw fuck this sub for normalizing gambling.
