Prediction Based Trading

I hadn't made a spreadsheet to track my trades in the past, so this is a learning and improvement experience for me.

I'm technically monetizing my skill by making money. I made ~200% for family so far. Do you mean like a collective2 thing? I don't really know how to go about it.

To be honest, trading is pretty much the only thing I've been doing in daily life for the past few years. Sitting in an apartment room day after day staring at the screen, reading trading books, etc. A bit like those Japanese hikikomori type things. Weekends are boring.
Yes.

Collective2 is one example.

WTF do you mean you don't know how to go about it? You're a trader. We traders figure shit out.

I highly recommend you get on C2 asap.

I did a bit more reading on C2. The main dealbreaker for me is that it's a subscription model rather than % of profit. The performance of the top strats there are only like 200-300% a year gains. Looking at the numbers, the top priced subscription is $595/mo, with most around $150-$200/mo. I don't know how many subs they get, but reading the creator's article on C2: he says imagine getting $150/mo with 20 subs ($3k/mo) which I assume is average-ish. Even in a best case scenario of $595*20 subs= $11,900/mo. I can make way more than that in a day with the big account.

If there was a thing that would pay out a % of the profit, I'd be interested.

Suit yourself kid. Like most kids, you're tripping over your own dick.

We'll talk again in 10 years about it.

One strat I use to sell premium is the 0-1 day DTEs on the S&P, which are available every day of the trading week. Going for straddles most of the time. I like to see divergence in tech and Dow, in general. If one goes up and the other down, that helps imply S&P stays flat. These decay very rapidly and both legs typically turn profitable the same day.

I don't hold overnight, I don't hold till close. Here's a current position as shown:
