Was a little sloppy today but just felt kind of out of sync.
Thought that 0dte on $QS / $JOBY might be decent but I was very wrong. Round tripped XXX% gain on that and got chopped risking on equity when I probably should have stuck to options there.
$MSTR got some 0DTE puts and sold them for XXX% gain, they ended up going 1000%.
$OPEN thought today would be decent for frd on gap up and sized bigger than yday, added to winner and then had to eat it through hod
$BMNR got chopped short in the morning, flipped tiny long on hod break and didnt reshort when it failed
$SBET made just $6k on this, was already down too much on the other names by the time it rolled to give it the focus it deserved. Didn't think it would fade that well given a/s restriction and ETH still being pretty strong.
$CRCL didn't touch, was super clean
Just really hard for me to find good names to long rn since everything is so extended, and really hard for most stuff to have good first red days.
Anyway, crazy how I can be up $902k on the week and feel like absolute dog shit as a trader 🫤 This job is so unforgiving
XXXXXX engagements
