Traditional IRA heading towards Portfoligone but decided to go Portfoligood instead

Closed out my personal acct earlier this year to fund upcoming wedding costs and was getting tired of the recent slow drift downwards PA on my retirement accts. Looked like we were close to the bottom in memory last week and decided to liquidate my Trad IRA and go all in on options. On Wednesday 10/21, bought SNDK 8x1450C 7DTE for 42 and sold at 56 same day (for +11k). Then saw a similar macro situation on Thursday 10/22 open and bought 9x1400 7DTE for 47. Trade immediately looked good for an unrealized +5k but didn't close out. That day quickly turned sour and ended up being a huge red day and saw my YTD gains all evaporate. Account was lowest on Monday morning 10/26, but given the amount of bad news recently digested and memory earnings coming up I decided to hold on. Baller earnings from SK Hynix yesterday and S.Korea having B2B green days helped a lot and ended up closing 1400C for +3k. Holy shoot, not doing that again. But I'll be back tomorrow.
