I think your biggest problems are: 1. Being too aggressive and using too high leverage; 2. Having the right understanding but the wrong timing for entry, leading to a major setback in silver. Knowing it could crash at any time, but still wanting to lick a bit more blood from the blade's edge; 3. Greed overpowering rationality.
After following you, I tried trading QQQ weekly options once and deeply realized I couldn't handle the volatility of weekly options, so I cut my losses and exited. For options, I only play long calls (at least 6 months out, currently holding ones for 2027), and I only trade the very liquid "Magnificent Seven" stocks.

My three-year-old son said to me, Dad, don't go to work, stay and play with me. I said, son, if I don't work, I won't have money to buy you toys. My son said, then Dad should go to work after all 🤣🤣 Actually, the child just wants his parents to pay more attention to him, making money isn't important. Looking back, for the past year after work, I've been staring at my phone, trading short-term, completely neglecting my child's companionship and education, throwing everything to my wife to handle, and if my wife isn't around, letting grandma handle it, leaving my child by the TV while I stare at my phone trading stocks, staying up late, suffering insomnia, and I've become haggard. I once had 20 consecutive trading days of stable profits between 1-10 points, then on the 21st day, I went all in with leverage and my account was halved. All for nothing. I already feel like I've lost a lot, not just money, but also family affection, mental health, and physical health. Now thinking about it, why did I trade stocks in the first place? Wasn't it to make money for a better family life? But looking at it now, no, on the contrary, it has brought more negative impacts to the family, and I've gone from a positive, good comrade to a short-sighted gambler staring at my phone all day. A year ago, my principal was only 100,000, dabbling in A-shares. A year later, I'm frequently dealing with millions + 3x leverage, or often going all in on 100x options. The trading volume is almost 200 million, losing a year's income. Recent losses have been exponential, even though I recovered a bit last Friday. At this rate, I'm just one step away from bankruptcy. Even with some short-term trading experience, I can't quit leverage. After careful consideration, I will completely leave the US stock market next Monday, saying goodbye to this place that once made me proud but has left me scarred. Short-term negative emotions cannot be released immediately, only time can gradually dilute them. It hurts, it really hurts, but I don't regret it, no regrets after the move, at least I was once connected to the international market, right? I've learned more than in the A-share market. Finally, my family is my last line of defense, I cannot hurt them. Goodbye.
