This is ridiculous. I'm doing everything right. For the first 2 weeks I bought naked puts/calls and that was stupid. So these last 2 weeks I sold premium instead. Tried debit spreads, credit spreads, strangles, calender spreads, covered calls, cash secured puts, you name it. Every single trade has lost. Is this just freak bad luck or is this how it is?
It defies logic because I was losing money buying calls/puts so if I inverse myself and sell premium then I should have started winning...

stop trading all the time. stop making retarded plays. stop doing exotic bullshit when you don't even understand the fundamentals of buying naked calls/puts. stop getting emotional and revenge trading or doing any other retarded shit. just stop. slow the fuck down before you blow through another $1000.

You're doing everything right and achieving the desired outcome, keep up the good work!
Just always do the opposite of what you planned to do.

You don't know how to use those strategies if you don't understand basics like implied volatility.

Yes you are much worse than random chance would dictate, now all you need to do is invert that to become much better than random...I know that's what you tried to do, but keep at it, somewhere in your brain is some module that understands the market mechanisms very well it would seem, you just need to figure out how to listen to it.

Buy ETFs and hold for decades:D
Nicholas Ross
Do both and you'll see where the issue is. Most likely is spreads and the fact that your trade gets raped by a bunch of marketmakernihgers between the moment you make a trade and it actually reaches you. "Free" means higher spreads.
You’re sword fighting with a fucking aircraft carrier (institutional investors)
You’re basically at Vegas stop pretending otherwise

The only way to do things right is to buy and hold long term. Everything else is attempting to predict what the majority shareholders are doing, and ((they)) decide what goes up or down.

$HLX is severely undervalued and has already made huge gains after beating the earnings report expectations. It is still trading at 1.68 a share and will likely blow up in next few days in a similar way to how $WLL made a 100% in a day. You heard it here first.
Hunter Russell
You're predicting it will go up long term. You might end up bagholding for decades.
