“Learn So I Can Earn”
Contest Journal –
Today was a rest day — because true learning starts the moment you realize you actually know nothing.
Today was a rest day — because true learning starts the moment you realize you actually know nothing.
I spent the morning prepping my real portfolio for a possible market pullback and the afternoon watching an options webinar that finally made things click… and also reminded me how much I still have to learn 🫠.
What really got me laughing though — I’ve made more “stupid money” randomly buying things before I knew anything than when I tried to copy “YouTube gurus.” 😂 Lesson learned
I’m calling this stage my Tuition Phase — the part where I pay small amounts (or take small Ls) in exchange for knowledge that compounds faster than profits ever could.
These days, I don’t even check the competition during the day. I wait until night, review my trades, journal what worked, and adjust for tomorrow.
⚙️ Quick Recap
Market showed mixed momentum — mega-caps holding but volatility creeping in.
My covered call strategy on NVDA stayed solid; SPY puts hedged small pullbacks.

🎯 Next Trade Focus
📈 Setups to Watch:
QQQ Call (short-term momentum play) – above $444 for continuation.
SPY Put (hedge) – around 665 if weakness confirms at open.
NVDA Covered Call Roll – if price dips below $180, buy back the call and re-sell lower strike for extra premium.
Goal for the week: protect capital, stack experience, and treat every mistake like market tuition.
