I started options with swing trading in 2024 Fall and it was going well until December FOMC + DeepSeek + Tariff combo ruined it all. You can see I literally went below my starting balance. Shit was tough lol. I couldn’t focus on lectures and I constantly peaked at the screen until 4pm. But something clicked(yeah very cringe and lucky) in me and recently I started to have some crazy returns. I traded mstr exclusively and I was sticking to my rules. I considered this profit as being lucky and withdrew $23000 and I made $13000 today which I will also withdraw so I don’t give it back to the market. Wild days. I guess shorter term trading is the best strategy right now in the kangaroo market
