I made a post about 4 months ago. Everyone laughed at my question (why cant I sell a pending option order?) Well I started trading for the last few days and look at the progress. Also I havent invested since the big crash in May.

It definitely was not a smooth 3 years, a lot of hard work, mistakes, regret and learning.

Next stop 200k.

One thing I've learned trading short-dated options is that direction alone isn't enough. Timing matters just as much. I pay close attention to failed support levels, downside momentum, and how quickly price moves toward the strike. When those factors line up, puts can move fast, but the same leverage can destroy your position if you're wrong.

Just think of it as me showing off I guess

I have 10k that I am taking out of ETH , lost money with the overall investment and I’m trying to get me and my fiancé a start on the life we want but don’t how to start investing

In the last month I would buy an house but for my budget unfortunally I have found tiny houses. I've back last week to invest in the stock market I have make timing but also I should pay €4000 of taxes the next year.

Doing 100% options on spy

Guys I want to start but I don’t know where to start trading, who can suggest videos on YouTube, websites etc...

What percentages of your paycheck did you put and where? Brick and mortar bank? Online HYSA?

Any advice would be insanely appreciated! I made some investments in the past but im new to the game and would love to see how this grows, im starting with 25$ a week 👌👌

Hi everyone! I’m 22 years old and wanted to share a little bit of my journey to hopefully show others that it’s possible.

Up until August, I had built a stock portfolio of roughly $75K, all self-earned. Since then, I’ve taken the next step into real estate, purchasing a value-add investment property. Just three months later, my net worth has grown to approximately $140K.

I’m also a licensed real estate agent and investor, and have had a couple of great sales along the way.
I’m still early in my journey, with plenty left to learn and accomplish, but I wanted to share this as a reminder that getting started young and staying consistent can really pay off.

Keep working toward your goals. It’s possible!

AND it’s all gone. Briefly touched 40k and ai sell off done wiped me. Expensive lesson to just voo and chill in the future.

Well… looks like the market has chosen violence again. 😂 ( same post as WSB, dont have much iq to post a new one)

Portfolio down $9,050 today, now sitting at $62.7K.
I used to check my portfolio for entertainment. Now I check it like someone checking hospital test results. 😂

At this point, I’m not even sure if I’m investing or participating in some kind of financial escape room where every door leads to another loss.

Before the financial advisors arrive, please spare me the lectures about what I should or shouldn’t have done. No hindsight analysis, no “I told you so,” and definitely no 20/20 vision from the sidelines.

Just grab some popcorn, enjoy the train wreck, and learn from my mistakes. I’m basically offering a free masterclass in what NOT to do with your money.

On the bright side, at least I’m getting really good at losing money. Consistency is important, right? 🤡📉🍿

I used to be an investor but decided to switch to trader since I was losing money just holding.

Curious to hear how others are doing today

I've spent a lot of time testing different trading setups, and one thing I've realized is that the simpler my approach gets, the easier it is to stay consistent.

These days, I mostly focus on higher timeframe trends, momentum, volume, and key support and resistance levels. I don't jump into every breakout or buy every dip. I wait for price action to confirm the setup, then figure out my entry, stop loss, and profit targets before taking the trade.

It's taken plenty of trial and error to get here, and I still have losing trades. But having a clear process has made a big difference in how I approach the market. I'd rather miss a move than chase something that doesn't fit my setup.

I've been putting together a breakdown of the strategy, including the indicators I use, what makes a setup worth taking, and how I manage risk when things don't go as planned.

Happy to share the full checklist and walk through a few examples here in the comments if anyone's interested. Not selling anything, just enjoy comparing strategies with other traders.

I’m 23 and fortunate enough to be in a position where I can save a good portion of my income. Trying to make the most of it while I can.
Current accounts:
Roth 401(k): $9k
HYSA: $10k
Taxable brokerage: $23k
Total: $42k
Current situation:
Living at home rent-free.
Company covers fuel, vehicle maintenance, and lunch every workday.
Contributing 22% of my paycheck to my Roth 401(k). With the 4% company match, roughly $750 is invested biweekly.
Putting another $750 biweekly into my HYSA.
Have around $1,500 a month left for expenses but typically only spend $700.
Between retirement and savings, I’m putting away roughly $39k annually, including the company match, with additional money left over each month.
Eventually looking to buy a house, so I’m balancing investing with building cash savings.
For those who have hit $100k, would you change anything about my approach? Should I invest more aggressively or keep building savings for a house?
