  - **止盈必须止盈** (2026-04-18T11:43:37.000Z): Start with a very small amount of capital and test slowly. Don't think about playing with a lot of money right from the start; I think that's half the battle won. Don't always think about depositing m
- **ricky.sun · 2026-04-18T04:47:40.000Z**: That's really harsh, riding this rollercoaster, how can you sleep?Playing short-term options is essentially gambling.
- **多空都亏 · 2026-04-18T04:27:23.000Z**: I also lost money playing options
- **wilsonQiu  · 2026-04-18T02:25:57.000Z · 👍 1**: I think you should quit short selling, at least you can lose half as much.
  - **止盈必须止盈** (2026-04-18T02:34:01.000Z): Indeed, after the pullback from the high, I first shorted Alibaba, and then shorted Google. Google was my biggest loss to date, and it still is 😭
  - **wilsonQiu ** (2026-04-18T04:58:29.000Z): Switch to long positions 😁 However, the profit margin for long positions in the stocks you mentioned isn't high at their current levels. Let's wait and see after the FOMO sentiment subsides and there
- **止损不止盈 · 2026-04-17T20:32:55.000Z**: Too greedy
- **比别人贪婪 更贪 越贪 · 2026-04-17T17:09:55.000Z**: With a yield of negative 90-plus percent, it feels like playing the Chinese A-share market.
  - **止盈必须止盈** (2026-04-17T17:13:13.000Z): Mainly lost money from shorting Google and going long on MSTR options.
  - **比别人贪婪 更贪 越贪** (2026-04-17T17:16:25.000Z): I'm losing money too, it's all messed up, sigh.
- **亚洲最有钱的人 · 2026-04-17T17:07:31.000Z · 👍 1**: That's brutal. I shorted LITE stock in early April and lost four to five hundred thousand. I don't even want to think about the options.
- **Just buy it · 2026-04-17T16:53:21.000Z · 👍 1**: Such volatility is perfectly normal when trading options; it's either double or nothing.
  - **Shao1997** (2026-04-17T17:14:54.000Z): Losing money on options is the norm; if it's the norm for too long, you'll naturally go to zero.
- **遇。 · 2026-04-17T16:50:37.000Z · 👍 1**: Looking at this profit chart, it's clear they're mainly playing options, 😂
