Are you a professional day trader? If not. Don’t have stop losses. Research. And invest over time in companies you believe will be worth more in the future. Once you’re up by 10/20%. Start selling otm covered calls a couple of weeks out with a small premium. Also dont invest money you’re not willing to watch go to zero.

All my biggest trades started with pretty heavy losses. Sometimes around -50 to -60%. I’d never be where I am today if I tied A rope around my neck at -5 or -10% and had stop losses. You gotta have balls in this game kid. If not. Get out.

Thats called luck, not any form of risk management. And luck runs out at some point 👌🏻

No. It’s called research and trusting your plays. The market whipsaws all the time. Again I’m not talking about day trading. That’s for professionals. I’m talking about mid/long swing plays while selling premium. Have fun staying poor.

Imagine bragging about trades where you were down 50-60% on a swing trade, got lucky on a reversal and needed at least 100% just to break even. Lol. The stop loss dude is always ahead of you if the trade goes against him and reenters at a better price point. No wonder dudes lose everything on here. Pure gambling

It was otm options with a strike 6-8 months/ surrounding a time with a positive catalyst for the company. Being down 60% at one time with a plan to average down over the course of 8 months isn’t that big of a deal. The stop loss cripples you. Again,unless you are professionally daytrading, which is also extremely difficult but not many people can do. They can see your stop losses.
