A coworker showed me he was up $260 over a month of investing on Robinhood, so I decided to give it a try. Deposited $525 into a margin account. My wife was two months pregnant.

After seven months building it over 50k, and an SNDK $550 2/27 c sold for profit while wife was sleeping in the hospital bed, I built the account up to $89,000.

My daughter was born 3 months ago. Here you see my 3 month timeline.

From that day, I have made incredibly horrible stupid plays, and burned it all the way back down.

My biggest losses, screenshots attached, all were 100% revenge trades trying to chase trades that were barely wrong.

MULTIPLE times I owned 25+ contracts of SPYX at 1.50, would sell them for 3.50 because the infant is needing more attention, only to realize that they ended the day worth 48.50.... but the times I don't sell and walk away it absolutely craters. Y'all know how it is. Casual fumble of 140,000 profit trade.

Was holding SNDK 880c and was worried my position would be destroyed while I'm feeding the baby so I exit and it heads to 1100.

Two Disclaimers:

This is not my retirement it all came from $500 and I did also withdraw $20,000 in march to start an Edward jones account for the kiddo. So if anything my 500 turned into 20,000 for her. (Even though I blame this as the reason I started revenge trading. Trying to make back that 20k instantly.)

Two weeks ago, I decided I hate Robinhood and took my last 7k into WeBull and bought puts on CAR before it fell so I'm up pretty big again.

EDIT: I do NOT blame my child GEEZ lol y'all are wild right now. I was cocky cause I secured big gains off peanuts and was overconfident obviously. But now... my account was all of a sudden 20k less than usual. Revenge trade to make it back blindly on stocks and option strategies that I havent looked at the chart because I'm overconfident and "I'll go back to my normal methods after I make this back on some quick SPX options". blindly believing the war will end and spx will skyrocket, just time it.

I know. Regarded. To the people asking why 126 left? Well that's how much my oracle call sold for. Down $24 on that one dang it! SNDU here i come!
