I'm in a similar situation as you. I entered the market in August 2024 with 400,000 yuan. You play options, while I play meme stocks. Every day I look at the gainers list to find meme stocks. At the beginning, I played small and made tens of thousands, thinking it was so easy. Later, I increased my capital, but soon it was halved and halved again, leaving only tens of thousands. I just wanted to break even, but I didn't give up. Later, I stopped playing meme stocks and started looking for individual stocks. I later encountered PLTR and bought it at $37, but didn't go all in. Then I met Uncle Yaren and followed his operations to learn options. I studied options and found that they could amplify returns. Later, PLTR dropped from $120 to $80 due to tariffs. During that time, I was desperate to break even, sold some shares to buy options, not just PLTR options but also Tesla options, which also went to zero. Now I'm slowly playing long calls or 2x, but I haven't broken even yet—still short by over 100,000 yuan. It's best not to touch weekly options—they can really kill you. Hope you can pull through. Hang in there!!@lyhalfway
