2014: The Battle for Survival

11:27 EST: now at 35.00 Hmm

 

Weird journal. If my strategy is losing money for more than a few weeks in a row I'm already cutting my size and losses. Size should be down to zero well before losing 10 percent of equity. I cannot comprehend why someone would keep trading for YEARS with no edge.

 

16x bubble followed by almost 75% crash a few hours later . To still end up 400% at the close.
Insane price action on 150 million share volume.

 

Addiction innit.
They say Intermittent wining and losing is the most addictive type of trading. Even more addictive than winning most of the time.

It is possible to turn $13k to $1M in 2 months (from the day of the post below 1/29/2024 to 3/27/2024)

10 calls July 19, 2024 mstr $1100 strike price

With so much more time left, perhaps $13k to $3M will be achieved in 2 more months from now (4 months from 1/29/2024)

[as an aside, sold a few calls yesterday...]

Keep the dream alive...
