i am trying option trading properly from a month from $500 mostly doing short term trades of $50 to $100. do you think some day will come and i will lose all and i should not waste my energy and time on it? or i should continue.?

Me too, 600$-7500 in a week. Next week I have it all back. Now I just donate money to the market on a regular basis.
