I was on some Facebook thread and some people were posting screenshots of how they lost 100% during the pandemic... Like $20,000 -> 0 in a matter of weeks. It was extraordinary. They were all using WSB and doing extremely foolish options trades.
Right, but there are also traders who have made 10x or more. Many have turned a few thousand into 5 or 6 figures. You have to find the right strategies and traders to follow. There are traders who demonstrate skill, by consistently making profits. This involves optimal position sizing and optimal call option duration and strike prices and other factors such as momentum.
