Awful week - Weekly summary (Nov 10 - Nov 14)

Brutal week.

Lost everyday.

Actually, I won on Wednesday, but it was half the size of smallest loss.

Stuck in a nasty -$2k drawdown right now.

Here's the trades from the past week:

Trying new monthly iron condor play on XLE. Have only been doing them on IWM for the past while, but looking for more tickers to trade.

Closed a long call on XLF that I had been holding for over 250 days. Made $60 bucks on it 😂

Part of a "LEAPS" strategy I was testing, and cheaper version of doing it on SPY or QQQ.

Just terrrrrible.

None of my strategies made money this week.

Marketing going up and down like a yo-yo making things a bit difficult. Saw a bunch of other 0DTE traders making money though, so I'm probalby doing something wrong...

Notes, Lessons and Thoughts #

Terrible week. Making me doubt everything again.

Need to review a few strategies more carefully. Been getting lazy and just throwing shit out there.

ORB not working #

ORB (opening range breakouts) strategies haven't been working at all.

I started implementing some setups last month, but maybe I did something wrong, because I've lost over $1500 on them so far.

It was supposed to be an simple/safer strategy I thought. I guess it never works out that way.
