Started trading stocks in the middle of January, after trying forex for years. Slow losses over and over. Found spy options. First day trading them, I went from around $11000 to over $40000, then closed position at around $7500. The next day I tried again, took my $7500 to over $11000, then wound up closing position with around $4000 in account. I really had no idea what I was doing or how the contracts would diminish in value as the day went on. The last few weeks have been a cycle of a few good days, then blow account on a bad trade by not getting out when it went against me. Deposit more money, rinse and repeat. Last Friday I was down to about $700 in my account, threw another $1000 on top of it, and was able to turn that into $4600 on spy, which is where I started on Monday. This week I still did a few spy trades, but switched primarily to spx. And these last 3 days have been incredible. My account has gone from $4600>$9600>$30000>$93000 today. I’m sure I’ll get the usual comments about working at Wendy’s, put it on roulette, luck in a bull market, etc….and that’s cool. Just excited to share this incredible journey   submitted by   /u/Better_Mongoose_1722 [link]   [comments]
