I guess my scientific approach is a bit different. For some reason, I don’t believe a fixed sample size—whether it's 20 trades or 100 trades—tells the whole story. Instead, I’ve adapted to continuous testing, meaning I analyze an ongoing sample size indefinitely.
To illustrate, here is how I’m testing a **0DTE Strangle strategy**:
I created specific entry metrics to determine when and how much capital to allocate toward SPY, QQQ, or IWM 0DTE options. Starting with a $100 base account, I dedicate either 40%, 20%, 10%, or 5% of the total balance to a position depending on the daily setup. If I take a loss, the next trade's position size is recalculated using that same percentage applied to the new account balance (e.g., $60 or $80).
For every trade, I log key data points: entry/exit times, position sizing, execution details, and relevant market conditions. I then feed this daily log into AI.
This approach allows the AI to detect emerging patterns and refine the strategy with every single execution. As my trading evolves, I continuously integrate new variables and metrics I may have previously overlooked.
While the sizing risk might seem aggressive relative to account scale, keeping the absolute dollar amount small lets me accurately track progression or regression while refining the edge. Because of this continuous feedback loop, I don’t see myself ever stopping at a specific number of trades—it’s an ongoing, evolving process.

How many trades a day you usually taking?
I’m usually a one and done kinda guy.
Also trade momentum on SPY, IWM, QQQ…but my hold times are longer typically 10-60 minutes
Momentum mostly, with some reversals sprinkled in.
How’d you overcome the sizing issue? one of my biggest issues RN.

Swan dip iron buttcheeks forming on IWM 5m. If it continues, she gone

IWM is crashing, and it'll affect large caps sooner than later

Breadth collapsing. RSP and IWM breaking down. Market narrowing. 10yr mooning. Oil mooning. Confidence in the Fed collapsing.
Hedge funds going tits up. Memory stocks pumping and dumping 300 points in days.
Yea. This is probably where you want to take your profits. Raise cash and wait it out.

Looking at SPY vs IWM daily, you can tell which 1 is the meme

Again IWM pull through for me. 293 bruh

$IWM is going to bankrupt me…. Why are we RED??

lol IWM

SPY and IWM free fall, followed by QQQ

the worse part is i gave up day trading because i cant keep track of the market that close and have a job, and i fucking sucked at it.
I decided I would just buy some shit and sit on it.
•So here is mostly: NLR, VRT, SPY, VXUS, IWM,
•with some under 300$ plays in: IE, IBIT, Himx, sldp, nbis, sqqq.
and after a year to be in the negative is great. so i sold everything except SPY, VXUS, IWM put most my money in SPY going to wait for my 6k to give me 60$ in a year and buy some shotgun rounds and repaint my ceiling fuck this bs.

I really gotta take a look at whats been working for me. My retirement port is down menially in comparison to my gambling port, and the only difference is 3x versus 1x etfs lol.
Maybe I should really just sell the rip, if it ever comes, and dump it all in my 3 fund port gradually.
VOO/VXUS/IWM has been kicking ass for me and I should probably just stick to that

VT, VTI, IWM.

Wow. Impressive. Sticking to indexes is s good plan. Might want to throw in IWM. Keep it up.

IWM seems to be holding up pretty well during all this tumult

Now what’s the trouble with the holdings mostly being in the Russell 2000? Is that to imply it’s not that different from a passive managed fund like IWM and therefore not really worth the higher expense ratio?

IWM 291 0dte put from 0.03 to 2.6
