Yeah that’s why I’m scared to up how much I risk. I’ve made $600+ this week on a few contracts where I buy at night and sell in the morning after some good movement that I felt was coming. 

Also I started regular stock investing near the peak and then lost half of my entire savings on the way down (mostly unrealized but with no bull market in sight it might as well be lost and that’s why I started dipping into options with hopes of clawing some of that back in the short term to make me feel better about waiting for it to recover lol).

Just know what you did , is basically gambling especially with options as the “theta” if there is not enough movement will take away all your premium.

But as long as you do 1 or 2 you are okay , and only do it with a small percentage of your portfolio.

I lost enough for a few dream cars of mine :) . Probably roughlty 30% percent of my NW. 

The money hurt but it was the disappointment in myself . 

End of day as long as you accept the possibility of total lose and can let a bet go. You will be fine 

Don’t chase gains or losses, long term success in trading is about singles and doubles. This forum is a lot of yolo but I’m sure there are tons of folks like me with regret 

Good luck
