I’ve noticed that much of my free time is wasted binge watching YouTube, scrolling across various social media platforms on which I have low social proof. I just deleted everything but Snap and Tinder. I’m 21, an attractive dude, I only want to allocate time toward social media that has utility in getting laid. The prime reason though is my down time could be better allocated toward lifting, running, day and night game, growing a social circle while shedding my loser high school friends destined toward nothing. Most of all, I need to get from community college to a large university for Finance CAIA Track bitch. The absolute reason is, for the past 2 years, I’ve been studying and learning through trial an error how to trade equity derivatives with real and paper money. Now for the past few months I’ve been getting progressively more efficient trading in a paper account, but I’ve become lazy and disinterested. I’d rather think of buying a Gixxer 600 than save up $5k to put in my brokerage account. One strange thing too, I’ve noticed that I used to be self motivated, but now I only feel that vigor to learn more when I tell someone about trading or financial markets. I might spend only 5 hours a week trading and learning used to spend 20 hours. Today I opened 8 contracts on $MSFT 2nd week $101 strike calls $1,100 worth at 12:00 this morning while at work. Closed the position at 1:10pm for a $250 gain. I aggressively monitored the position while open. I haven’t looked or learned anything today since that trade. BTW my win rate in paper trading is about 70% this past month $4k a the start of May $5,600 at the end with $800 in trading fees, over trading lol.
