Is it just me, or is everyone suddenly an “expert” in options trading? My feed is packed with social media gurus flashing screenshots of big wins, pushing aggressive strategies like zero-DTE trades with no mention of the risks. It’s wild because they make it seem like easy money, but we all know how fast things can go south if you’re not managing risk properly. I worry this hype is giving options a bad name and luring in new traders who don’t understand what they’re getting into. Does anyone else feel the same way, or am I just being overly cautious?

If your feed is packed, it’s because a pixel is targeting you, aka you’ve been searching or interacting with ads/content in that space. Let people learn on their own, nothing is guaranteed but honestly some people need to take an L before they realize what their investment is truly worth if it goes sideways. 0DTES are the most risky, but they also have made people 5/6 figures in a matter of hours

The number of sub $1000 accounts I talk to who keep dropping the names of all the Greeks and technical indicators they’re using….Shaking my head as it’s still just basically a spin of the roulette wheel at that level of capital

Yep!! It’s wild how many self-proclaimed experts are out there making it look like easy money. The reality is, options can be risky if you don’t know what you’re doing, and these “gurus” don’t always share the full picture. I think people should do their research for a while before they get into it.

Everyone Hass to learn. The tuition is high but it’s necessary for us to be better traders and for them to be better traders eventually have to get to the point where is it yourself I’m tired of being hit in the back of the head we can’t predict the future so we need to trade that way

This reminds me, I need to finish those avocados before they ripen too much.

Most do not have a day job. They trade and film alll day.
