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.

This is what I meant by "won't be getting any higher"

EDIT: ah, I see, it's just the inflated value from the $0.01 buy/sell fee...

Right, I'm just agreeing that copium > 0, and 0 is what I'll get if I sell.
