21M Started the year off pretty well was up YTD about 34% in June, discovered options around late May and had found some modest success.
I guess you can see for yourself where things took a left turn. A few bad plays, using margin for options, leveraged equities blah blah blah later I found myself down almost 70%
Disheartened I vowed to stop options and trading as a hobby… for a whole week. I decided I couldn’t let this be the end of things and I doubled down. For the next week I dedicated my life to studying options, doing better DD (as much as a WSB regard like me can do anyways) and cleared my mind with some mental exercises, which included primarily of playing online poker.
The following week I decided to get back into trading and this time with a better head on my shoulders and a more serious outlook on this. And after just 2 and a half weeks, I finally broke even on my YTD. Moral of the story, analyze your failures, and don’t give up. Godspeed regards 🚀
TL;DR WSB regard goes full degen and loses 70% of portfolio, then channels inner Jim Simon’s to make it all back in 2 weeks.

I bought a lot of Whole Foods stock a few years ago literally the day before it tanked. The day before. Not Intel guy amounts, but it did hurt. I kept it, and it took over a year to recover, and eventually got bought by Amazon for a nice profit.
now let’s see the All Time
I was told to always inverse advice here, looks like I’ll have to give up then 
Never surrender
We can tell where you discovered options without you telling us.
This will be me… I’m not giving up even after my entire savings of $11k lost, I’m going to continue trying and going at it. I’ll make it back eventually. Just a matter of time

But I literally gave up about 1 year ago and I learned not only am I a worthless trader, I am unable to prosper overall.
