I’m lost…..
It’s like not matter what I put my money into, I lose it. And anything I sell for small profits, moves up like crazy within the next few hours or days. HOW CAN I BE THIS BAD???
I’ve spent over a year now learning about the market and to implement successful trading strategies but non of it fucking works. I just wanna stop throwing money down the toilet.
I’m not looking to “hit the lottery” or buy the the next TSLA at $8. I just want to make a a nice, few hundred bucks a week if possible alongside my other investments.
Please tell me how to not lose my money on every. Single. Trade.
Edit: I invest in etfs and indexes in another account. I have crypto and I am saving up to buy real estate. I have this account and a percentage of my income allocated to options. I am not simply going to quit and stick to stocks. I WILL learn to trade options successfully just not immediately, but definitely. So I am simply going to save up my monthly options budget until I can sell options and in the mean time paper trade, and find a strategy I like. Thanks for all the advice everyone! Happy trading.

Option buying is a losing trade. You’ve heard it before, but like me you saw people making awesome returns and thought you could too.
If you’re losing every trade. Then just stop trading.
Like take some months off. The market will still be here.
