Year-End Reset & 2026 Goals
I'll be stepping away until after the New Year to reset and spend some time off. Before I do, just want say I hope everyone had a solid YTD performance and actually made money during this crazy year. Curious to hear from you all πŸ‘‡ What are your trading goals for 2026? Enjoy the holidays and finish the year strong. πŸ’ͺ

I've found the last two trading months to be very difficult. The AI fear and their weight to the index dragging everything down with it. In 2026 I need to do a better job of being better diversified, both in sectors and in directionality. I am too strongly long biased, so buying all calls and the broader market pulling back for two months is not good.

Yes, you just obviously don't get the same return profile on shares. It's still better than losing all of your premium on options, but it doesn't excite me trading shares like it does options (or futures). I have several Jan expiry positions. I'm considering just cutting everything loose and being flat and starting the new year fresh. Of course, if I decide to do that, the next day we'll see the Santa rally and everything would come back. It's a tough spot to be in.
SPY still showing strength
Have been taking as more relaxed ride the last few weeks and I’m still bullish on SPY going into the end of the year. Where do you think it will by end of year?

SPY day trading strategy: Sizing
Quick update on the SPY strategy we're building together. Today we took one clean trade using Gextron. We went short from 665 β†’ 662, and Gextron did exactly what it’s built to do: - It gave us the entry level - It projected an achievable price target - It helped us move from OTM β†’ ITM with precision Inside our day trading group, one of the biggest topics we've been breaking down is position sizing. Because this is what determines whether your strategy grows or blows up. We've considered 3 main approaches: 1. Dynamic %-Based Sizing You risk a fixed % of your account, like 1%. As your account grows, your size grows. As it shrinks, your size shrinks. 2. Fixed Dollar Sizing If you start with $1,000 per trade, you stick to that $1,000 no matter what. 3. Conviction-Based Sizing High conviction β†’ risk more Low conviction β†’ risk less For the sake of consistency, we're sticking with fixed position sizing. Our paper account is $100,000. So we're trading $1,000 per trade. Wether the account hits $150k or dips to $90k we stay at $1,000 per trade. Why? - It makes our results predictable - It reduces P&L volatility - It protects the account during losing streaks - It gives us more control over the risk side of the strategy Right now we're sitting at 83% win rate over 6 trades – but we're excited to see our losing streak come. That's where we'll see the real durability of your strategy. We want controlled growth, small drawdowns, and avoiding high CVaR situations. What position sizing method works best for you? Drop your thoughts below!

are you guys doing this every day? are you waiting for price to hit a high gex strike and play that as support or res and then play that as a reversal?
Here's what I'm doing during drawdowns like this
Most traders panic during red weeks. But honestly? These are the moments I get the most excited. Why? Because drawdowns create opportunity. This where the best setups start forming quietly, before the crowd wakes ups. Right now, I'm preparing my shopping list. Not rushing in... just positioning myself to buy my favorite high-conviction names. Here's what I'm on my radar: 1️⃣ IONQ 2️⃣ SOFI 3️⃣ CELH 4️⃣ OPEN βœ”οΈ Stay calm βœ”οΈ Build your list βœ”οΈ Load up on high-conviction plays when they get cheap βœ”οΈ Think 12–18 months out, not 12–18 hours Who else is buying the dip right now? πŸ‘‡

What would you consider oversized? I have about 30% of my portfolio in Jan expiring contracts and its taken a significant hit the last week+. I'm reluctant to just trim the entire thing when I feel like a lot of my positions can rebound but I also don't like where I'm at right now.

I'm in the Jan 50 Calls. Everything getting hammered today was tough.
