Agree with Priya. Only thing I’d add: 30 days out is fine, but watch how fast theta decays in the last two weeks — that’s when the magic happens, but also when gamma risk spikes. Maybe paper trade the management part first.
Mine was position sizing. Had a “can’t miss” setup, went way too big, and it missed. One trade wiped out two months of gains. Now nothing risks more than 1–2% of the account. Boring, but I’m still here.
