Ur a spy puts guy and that line is horizontal? You should be up at least 100% ytd and that’s being very conservative

I’m bad at taking profits - new to options and trying to learn

I would suggest not doing this anymore until you get a hang of things unless losing 5k is like 1% of ur net worth

Don’t tighten up, let it slide right in. It will be easier on the both of us

So what happened on that first big drop? The one after you went up after first starting?

I set up a short dated put and the market moved down but not enough, I waited and the put expired worthless. Next two puts I set up correctly and they hit for about 200% but I didn’t take profits on them because I was greedy. Then puts I setup after got eaten by this rally. I stayed away from the market recently but setup new puts yesterday and then of course SPY spiked today

What do you look for when setting up puts? I typically do 2 or 3 DTE and use RSI (7) value

I am very new to this but I’ll tell you my current doctrine - I don’t believe in Fibonacci and I believe most of technical analysis is bullshit - I mainly try to pick psych resistance levels and watch macro economic events - I sometimes look at RSI for divergence. At first I was setting up puts with short exploration dates but know I feel more comfortable with 1 or 2 month dated options. Also I don’t setup puts when the PCR ratio is spiking. Any suggestions appreciated

First options win was 0dte trade on SPY following FOMC meeting in September. Then I made more put options but failed to take profits when I was winning. I set up more put options yesterday but today got fucked

Congrats. I bought very OTM SQQQ calls a few days ago. We are powerful forces to be reckoned with.
