    I'm in August monthly options right now - I usually roll about 15 days to exp.

    Covid was interesting - i closed out most of my wheel positions early (long before any lockdowns) and got lucky but then I sold volatility by selling uvxy calls - that trade did not go well at all and I lost $53.000 - so the current drawdown is worse

  3. Didn't you say you have like a million dollar trading portfolio,
    That weekly return is like 00.10%

    Not to rain on your "shit show" parade or anything, but just saying,...it could have been, slightly, better,

    Thanks for sharing. The question that no one is asking is how can this community help you?

    I'm hoping for the community to hold me accountable. I realize that most of this is just me dumping things "out there" which I hope is the first step.

    I'm thinking of a basic 6 bullet score card like:
    fitness
    drug use
    sleep
    work productivity
    trading plan execution
    family/compassion (no idea how to quantify that)

    If all of these score well my life is usually going pretty good.
    What do others think?
