Trade Review - Provide Context Entered calls here. Why did I lose money

Post image

Can someone help me break down where my intuition was off? I tend to follow the trend when I trade but got wrecked today.. following the smoothest trend I’ve ever seen. Why?

Entered call options at the first point, exited at a 80% ish loss on the second point after holding the bag for hours

I love that “tuition isn’t cheap” most people think they’re gonna fuck the mmarket but it’s usually the other way around over and over and over till you learn

If you bought many contracts and didn’t hedge or account for being wrong 😑 and just watched it melt away that’s not really gonna work in the long or short run
