No offense, but you sound like you really have no idea what you’re doing. From what you’ve described about missing out on profits you “should” have made, it sounds like gambling. It’s impossible to predict the top so why assume you should have made those additional gains. However I could be wrong.. perhaps there’s more detail to your strategies and your mistakes are due to a lack of execution. How are you choosing your set ups or plays? How are you deciding when to exit positions? Based on what you’ve wrote your taking profit strategy sounds random and based in emotions of the moment. If this is true, this style of trading will hurt you in the long run . Not here to beat you down, hopefully you give this some thought and it ultimately helps you improve.

Look at the flat periods on my chart, my positions usually last more than a month, typically two to three, and I sell covered calls and puts to trade the ups and downs while using the share position as the core, exactly like how Pentwater did. You can call that hedgies think alike. And options premiums for something like this (with IV at \~1.0) are huge.

Whoever kept nvidia or google down today is pure evil. I was finally supposed to get a decent payout today. But you just refuse to allow that. 7 billion people on this planet only a few of us even understand what happened today and you just wont let me in the club. I dont get it man. Iv put years of my lige into this, iv had a few ups and downs. Today was by all means meant to be a huge day for me. And you just got jealous or something. Honestly fuck you. Because i will break free one day and never forgive you. You’re such a fucking piece of shit. Have fun laughing at my suffering while it lasts. You will burn in hell.

Big ups to the person who suggested selling AXTI premium. My shares will be called away but hell of a swing trade. Sold $90 cc for today, did not expect it to hit. Bought at the low of the week. Missed out on few hundred, but a solid trade. Will buy back when it drops again.
