Retail investor: I'm up 300% this year on 0DTE. Why would I ever switch to your boring stuff?


Me: You shouldn't. Not today anyway.
Retail investor: ...wait, really?
Me: Nobody quits the casino mid heater. Just do one thing for me. Write down your account number today. Actual dollars, not percent.
Retail investor: Okay... why?
Me: Because I've had this exact conversation maybe 400 times in 10 years. Up 300%, untouchable, boring is for boomers. Then I check in a year later.
Retail investor: & what do they say a year later?
Me: Most of them don't answer. The ones who do usually tell a horrifying story about a "bad beat"
Retail investor: I am doing this all wrong...
Me: The 0DTE math eats everyone eventually... the win rate can't survive the sizing. Anyway. Keep the number written down. My DMs are open in 12 months.
Enjoy the heater. Write down the number. This post will still be here in a year. I hope you crush it... but the odds are not in your favor.
