Schrödinger's Gains

Shitpost

I feel like I open a trade such as longing /ES and /NQ or shorting it, then I'll go fuck around for like 20-30 minutes and come back to look at my ThinkorSwim account and see that I'm up a couple grand on my positions. Immediately the gains go negative as the S&P and Nasdaq drop almost instantaneously. This has happened to me for the past couple of weeks on a consistent basis.

The simple act of checking your options price affects the options price. When measured, your options wavefunction collapses to the observable measurement of $0.01

Can you make me some blow? And then when you make enough money, start a chem company and create synthetic hookers also?

I'm just so happy you trade futures.

But I wouldn't go long yet and wait for some big 1000 point drop in October or so.

Here is what I can tell you.. go long the 4th quarter though.

We just need a big drop and then go long. Should be around October

I also short, in my post history I have some decent gains from shorting during fed meetings or whatever. Today I cut my short position entirely too early, but fuck it bruh.

From now on I'm just going to never look at my positions and just see what happens.

Trade the micros and scale in maybe. I only check my port every 6 hours now and it helps psychologically.
