I’ve tried a lot of different trading methods over the years, but at the beginning of the year I decided I would only swing trade shares and options with at least 60-90DTE. I did over six figures in profit last year, but my win rate was pretty shitty because I constantly insisted on trying to day trade and gamble on 0DTE. The adrenaline you get watching an SPX trade go up thousands of dollars in 30 seconds is unmatched. I was trading so much and watching candles so often that I wasn’t keeping track of my losses and ate into what my gains could have been. I lost 10s of thousands on individual trades but assured myself it was okay because my P&L was green almost every month. I have no courses or discord links to push, just wanted to share my success this month and remind everyone to take profits early and often (no matter how small). Consistent strategies and gains outperform swinging for the fences on every trades.
I know this month is not indicative of my performance for the coming months but it’s a great cushion to start with and I might update the post in the next six months to share my average P&L. Good luck to everyone this year and remember it’s all about staying in the game to trade another day/week/month/year
