Considering the 100% loss

Risk control trading 0dte options. I can only loose 100%. Sounds terrible, but position size is the ultimate risk management. With time, I know that at the end of the day, this position is gone. I have to cut, or know it's going to absolute zero. I size so a 100% loss wont break me. It won't feel good! But it won't be the end. These 2 100% losses were actual lottos on small size. In retrospect (always 20/20) they were both fomo/desperation trades. I shouldn't take it so lightly.

Otherwise a good and profitable week. Tzedaka given.

Week of Mar 16-20 results. 

Fast forward 18 months

Lots of changes in my trading! 

Futures trading at Apex was a tremendous learning experience for me. 

Lesson one, I don't like trading futures. Options are definitely my perfect fit for a number of reasons.

Lesson two, specializing in the NQ helped me learn its personality. 

Lesson three, prop trading has its definite pros and cons.

My new happy place? 0DTE options on QQQ. 

There is enough liquidity, and enough volatility in the zeros for me to make my bag. I don't have any of the stress of screeners or tracking multiple tickers. There are zeros every day.

Meanwhile Schwab discontinued Street Smart Edge. I have never loved Think or Swim, but I have found the few features I need, including on mobile. In fact I prefer trading on my phone now, which is another huge plus!

Onward and upward. Like clockwork
