So I got my options account approved the other day, and decided to screw around. Sadly, I didn't know what I was doing, so I wound up buyin some options at 100x the cost I thought I was.
First red dot: I buy May 90 calls and May 75 puts. That night, earnings are released after hours.
Second red dot: My 75 puts are in the money about $1k, and my 90 calls are OOTM about 1700. I quintuple my 90 calls position.
Third red dot: I cover my 90 calls, pocketing ~$5.5k profits, while my 75 puts are worth about $350 total, and are virtually a freeroll at this point.
Beat: I'm dumb
Beat: Moved up stakes without even noticing it, due to Beat 1.
Brag: Run good at everything that's not poker.
