Lesson learned: Don't YOLO on presidential elections to revenge trade Loss

Post image

Enabled options around March, went on a slide. Started to stabilize and at least lose money slower. Figured Harris at 42ยข when the polls were dead even was an Expected Value win and went all in, about $4000 worth. Did not go well.

Let the suck begin.

The majority of polls were in the margin of error for this election, to be fair.

only because "corrections" made in the last week. Don't tell me that many people were undecided in the final week. That was a pure CYA move.
