I just started options trading a couple weeks ago. I started with like $20 bucks and did an experiment where i gained $80 then lost $90. From then i just keep learning and being consistent and risk minded. I am very excited as today was my first major gain! I know not everyday will be like this but i have been cautious and only trading SPY

i made 5x my wage today while at work and it feels liberating!

i hope to snowball this account until i can pay some debt and take the kids to Disney Works in Orlando!

also does anyone have any practical advice tax advice? Im still learning and new to all this and i don't want the IRS to kick in my door next April.
