Welcome to my Shit Show

Nice job,but not suprising...If Im reading you right,you are net long apx 400,000 $delta in your option book,and short theta/vol...

What duration options are you short? From your title,I assume 1 month and in?

How did the current max drawdown compare to the Covid meltdown?

I'm in August monthly options right now - I usually roll about 15 days to exp.

Covid was interesting - i closed out most of my wheel positions early (long before any lockdowns) and got lucky but then I sold volatility by selling uvxy calls - that trade did not go well at all and I lost $53.000 - so the current drawdown is worse

That weekly return is like 00.10%

Not to rain on your "shit show" parade or anything, but just saying,...it could have been, slightly, better,

Not to rain on your parade,but if you could calculate percentages correctly,people wouldn't think you were a complete numnut.

I'm hoping for the community to hold me accountable. I realize that most of this is just me dumping things "out there" which I hope is the first step.

I'm thinking of a basic 6 bullet score card like:
fitness
drug use
sleep
work productivity
trading plan execution
family/compassion (no idea how to quantify that)

If all of these score well my life is usually going pretty good.
What do others think?
