How I lost $826 in October 2024 trading options
A terrible month.
Lost a bunch of money on Option Alpha "trade ideas", and a bit of money on 0DTE trading.
Stopped trading a couple strategies -- original trend/stochastics strategy, and my weekly SPY strategy (temporarily at least)
Probably should have kept trading the SPY strategy, as it has been very profitable, but I'm worried it was going to blow up in my face soon.
October 2024 Closed Trades #
I have split my trades up into 0DTE and non-0DTE trades for comparison.
First, non 0DTE

Notes and Thoughts #
Nothing seemed to work this month.
I'm getting really indecisive with my strategies now.
Everything seems to be flawed.
Perhaps I'm trying too hard looking for a "perfect", "no-lose" strategy, which of course does not exist.
I'm wondering if I should just keep trading my weekly 10DTE SPY strategy. It has actually been very profitable since I strated tracking it about a year ago.
I started messing around with some backtesting though, and found that it is not the best strategy long term as it can have huge drawdowns. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Should I just try to make money while the market is hot? And stop using it when it's clear there's a downturn? How do I do that?
Am I trying too hard trying to find a "set it and forget it" type of strategy. Perhaps every strategy needs to be constantly monitored and adjusted?
I dunnooooooo..
Onto November!
