I think we need to have a sidebar and CD your SLT facing deck for CCS on the CI/CD 2026 RM so UM and Infra are clear on your goals WRT DevOps and RevOps
Why fuck did u buy so close strikes? I tend to go at about 300 points out when it comes to CCS. I don’t know bro. I’d like to hear your logic behind this.
I could’ve made easy money with TSLA but going long. But no! I had to try shorting it. Sometimes I just wanna slap the shit out of myself of being so fucking stupid. 0 DTE theta on my CCS saved my dumb ass, not once, but twice. 🤡😭
Me last week: OPEN will never reach $10. Let me get some CCS. Thank god I didn’t do anything. 🥶
Been there brother. Even today I just had to try CCS as PCS felt like a no brainer. It’s in our psyche to inverse. MMs bank on our tendencies to be degenerate morons on days like these.
My plan early morning: 9/11 day. Shit is gonna be rocketing. I played couple of PCS and made easy money. So fucking easy that I got complacent… Around 11:15AM - fuck this! I am shorting. Got SPX CCS expiring tomorrow. Holy fuck did it make me shit my pants. Being a loser, I closed with only $40 profit. Didn’t have any problems when I was down about 2.5K. 🤡😭
Do I really wanna short a seemingly freight train? The degenerate in me is screaming yes to CCS…
When the bell did u buy the puts? ORCL shat the bed. I missed my opportunities to get CCS. 🤦♂️
Instead of shorting just sell CCS, the premiums are juicy.
Scaling out of 20% GLD leap position, always remember to progressively lock in gains. Adding more SPX CCS hedges
GLD safe haven lmfao. Putting on QQQ and SPX CCS hedge. That daily candlestick doesn't look right, fat institutional selling under the hood
Keep google out of your dirty, grimy bear paw. (Gonna get CCS soon on that shit, most like tomorrow. Let the idiots hold their bags.)
Not sure what strategies you're employing, but OptionsOmega is what I use to backtest my options trades (all PCS and CCS...and ICs)
Lost money by being a fucking pussy and closing too early on my CCS, then on my PCS. Goddamnit!
Time to get ready for Friday’s Jummah prayer. U guys trade this shit. Would’ve made fuck ton of money if I had held my CCS. But green is green…even if it’s just a small fraction.
Gonna swing CCS for Tuesday expiry. But most likely I am gonna get in calls and get fucked.
I feel ya bro. If it wasn’t for the dump in the morning, my SPX CCS were totally fucked.
I am sorry brother. Plz let this poor bear get the fuck out of his shit hole of SPX CCS.
Send thoughts and prayers for my SPX CCS. 😭🙏
I’ve got SPX CCS expiring this Friday, 8/29. Mine looks bad. If NVDA beats and marker goes green, I am fucked. At least you’ve got some time. Good luck!
Or NVDA beats and market sells on good news. I would hold it until at least Thur to let theta and NVDA do the dirty work. On CCS I usually only react when it's down 100%.
What the fuck is a CCS? Are you stupid?
Full on distribution in MSFT, called the markdown stage of the cycle. First large cap tech stock to display divergence from indexes. Massive short position through CCS is absolutely printing 🤌
Thanks for sharing. Do you open them at market open? Or perhaps wait till like 10am for market to settle? Do you open the IC together or separate PCS and CCS? Think Tuesday's market was erratic. You still managed to let your IC expire worthless? Cool!
Thanks for sharing. Very insightful and interesting to learn how you go around with the market movements and thoughts on how to counteract and reduce loss. Do you often sell an IC together or a PCS and CCS separately on its own though. I think today is the only day you need to roll so far? After you changed your strategy to 0DTE? Thanks again!
Yes, it's possible. I use automation to sell options premium (IC's, PCS's, and CCS's). Takes no time or attention and can make money.
To roll for a credit meant increasing risk. I rolled from 2.5 -> 5 -> 7.5 -> 10. Anyhow, the market seems to be taking a pause since I sold. But, I do not regret closing it. Mental peace over paranoia. Only RDDT is going up for which I currently hold a CCS.
Touché Zuck The Cuck. I close my META CCS, barely in profit, after being down thousands since yesterday morning, and it dumps more. Can’t make this shit up!😩
Realistically? No. If u look at the daily, both ES and NQ closed at ATH. To make matters worse, it’s got volume compared to the last few sessions. ES also has 6500 order block sitting 30 points above - that’s $3 move on SPY. ES going nowhere until that level is transacted. But hey! Miracles do happen. I sure am hoping in one as my META CCS is so fucked if it crosses 810.
Similar to you. I got tired of rolling my NVDA credit spread and finally closed it today for loss. I started with a 172.5/175 CCS when NVDA was at 150. I thought 4T cap, market is going to panic. Rolled 4 times to reach 190/200 CCS with now 100k at stake. With earnings in sight, and market ripping, I didn’t want to take a chance. Losing 20k is better than 100k.
Don’t do it man! I’ve got CCS 810/815 8/15. Just buy calls. Inverse my dumb ass.
Getting wrecked on my META CCS. Fuck it! I am not closing. Either I lose my 50K or this shit dumps by EOW.
I sold CCS on DUOL, almost got wrecked except I brought shared to covered and ended up even
Here's something to think about, and this is simply SPX 1-minute data from January 2024 to present: Sell credit spreads or buy debit spreads at opening range: PCS or CDS if trend up, CCS or PDS if trend down. Execute time: 10:05am, requirement: spot must be more than 15pts away from open by 10:05am. You can close the trade by 12pm if mean reversion gets within 10pts of your short position (or long, depending on whether it's a credit or debit spread) and completely close by 3pm. Win rate is 73%.
Fuck this bs market. I get CCS it fucking moons. I get PCS and it tanks. wtf?!😭🤡
Aw fuck! Looks like I might open 1K down on my NDX CCS. Do I average down? Or do I close and walk away? Knowing myself…I am gonna average the shit out of it. 🤡😭
U r screwed. Source: I’ve got NDX CCS
Those we can trade futes, especially NQ/MNQ, go long. I am in NDX CCS expiring next week. This is your lucky day! Inversing me pays good 95% of the times.
I mean for this to break even it would require +100% gain. It took 2 1/2 years the last time 2020-2022 with huge subsidies from the govt at the height of a pandemic. You might want to turn it into a CCS soon.
Thinking of shorting CuckVIDIA. Gonna get CCS 8/1 185/190 spread.
Closed green on the day, barely. Fucking MSFT smacked the shit out of me with its hulk cock. I am ready for another round tomorrow. Either my CCS prints or I am fucked.
Got MSFT CCS. Got seriously spanked. Cheeks r raw bruh. 😭
I need Microdick to go limp. Fucker is on HIMS and ramming my CCS.
Buy CCS. Don’t have to be right. Just pick something out of the money and give about a week.
Had to swing my CCS on Hood, NDX, and NVDA. All because I didn’t wanna get PDT flagged, and keep getting that paltry daily cash sweep. I am a true fucking degenerate. 🤦♂️
your comment made me thinking for couple of days. and I read it and analyzed it extensively. this perspective of embedded CCS is amazing and once I understood it I couldn't hold but praise your understanding. Thanks for sharing.
Thinking of getting a CCS: 390/400 exp 8/1; approximate credit $150 (fucker went down overnight). Its ATH was in 2021, around $377. Max loss of about $900. Thoughts?
I remember looking into selling ICs and PCS/CCS, I couldn’t bring myself to accepting how #GAY# I would be.
My bitch ass closed the 7/11 CCS for next to nothing earlier. FUCK!!! I held till I was most down $2K on Thursday. And I sold for fucking nothing! Goddamnit!!!!
As a SPX CCS holder expiring Friday, and mere 70 points away from ruin (Thursday close)…I am genuinely fucking scared…🤮
It can’t keep going up, right? I am scared for my CCS. I am 60 points away from getting blown out on SPX. 🤮
Too late! My CCS is so fucked.
Tell me about it. Got the shit kicked out of me yesterday on my ES CCS. On top of that, I bought another contract for a grand total of 3. And then I shorted ES. I was down almost $3K before shit dumped last night. Shit can’t keep going up…my ass!🤡
Goddamnit! My CCS is fucked then. Why couldn’t u be a good moo and bought calls like the rest?!
For my sake, I hope not. My CCS took a nut kicking yesterday.
U r golden. Shit is way overbought. 9 fucking Green Day’s in a row on ES. Market was waiting for 🥭 bukkake bill. Now that’s done, market will pull back. Sadly, my CCS is most likely fucked as it’s expiring on 7/11.
I am never gonna touch fucking puts again. My SPX CCS is red as fuck. My ES short at 6310 is choking on Shrek’s dong. My clown ass brain is whispering: “it can’t keep going up!”. Fuck!!!😭
Sadly, while I am in a CCS, I don’t c this going down tomorrow. If lucky, yes. Else most likely next week. Check out the SPY 620P 7/18. CheddarFlow posted it on X.
Yesterday: I longed NQ and that bitch dropped on its knees like a cheap whore. Today: I buy CCS on SPX. Mofo ripped like it was on viagra. Seriously…what the fuck?!
thank this schwab glitch for not letting me close my 618/620 CCS at a loss and letting SPY drop back under 618 AH
Closed out all AMZN and NFLX PCs for massive gains. Entering more AAPL shorts with ITM CCS. QQQ making new highs but one of the largest components in XLK is struggling to stay afloat above $200
I just sold a 618/620 SPY CCS, so the bottom is in and the RIP is coming. You're all welcome.
If you think sideways is next then selling CCS can work out great I’m waiting w 75% port in SGOV, I think we will get a dip
Bro. I had NDX CCS at goddamn 23000/22900 from yesterday. Shit was almost 600 points OTM. That shit was down almost $900 today at HOD. Nothing is safe from the mango 🥭 chode.
Fuck the data. This is a mango market. Mangoes grow on trees, tall ass trees. Calls it is. Disclosure: I am cuck bear, holding NDX CCS expiring next week.
It can’t keep going up, right? I am gonna start loading up on more CCS. I didn’t learn my lesson today on my singular NQ CCS. Time to go to town. Fuck this sham!
Went long NQ at 22515 yesterday. Got the shit kicked out of me. Being a complete fucking degenerate, I held for dear life. I was down over $2K at the LOD. So like a cuck, around 2AM, I close for $20 profit and finally went to sleep. Needless to say, I was sweating bricks for nothing. So today, I open a CCS on NDX expiring next week: 22900/30000 7/3. Yet again the gods spread cheeks and ram cock in fucking ass!🤡
I am not feeling too hot about my NDX CCS. 😩
I know this is likely to get buried but figured I'd take a shot. Been seeing a lot of CCS and PCS wins lately, wondering if you would share some insight on when and how you chose your strikes on a given trade.
I put 100k in PLTR but sold CCS, so no millon for me yet. I am rolling that shiet forever
Unfortunately, yeah, I think there is a larger part of the market that responds to his cult. Just look at the fact that North America is standardizing around NACS instead of CCS2. I don't AGREE with it, but the evidence is there
Call credit spread. U buy a call at a higher strike and sell a call at a lower strike. U get a credit up front. It’s essentially the opposite for of a cal debit spread. CCS is a bearish move where u r betting that the price will not go beyond your call strike.
No. I am thinking of getting a CCS. But the premium is whacked out.
Sold CCS on my TMC position literally yesterday lol someone hand me the rope
Would it not be the opposite? Your CCS’ would make money as SPY drops and the PCS’ make money as SPY goes up?
Glad to hear that others do similar to me---close early if big move in your favor and have 70-85% of max credit in a couple of hours, let it ride to end of day if it is just slowly grinding. I usually wait 15-30 minutes after open to place the trades. Work PCS or CCS depending, and sometimes end up making them into a condor later in the day. Do same thing on NDX most days as well. It works for me and its's a living!!
holding a 599/601 CCS clenching rn
Wrong! I did my CCS and am very glad I did the protective calls, which I put at 596. Jumped out at around 1. I exited them all separately so I could get a slightly better return. Not the worst situation. Lost $100 bucks with 30 contracts. I don't have a lot of money to risk, so I'm glad I don't make those boss trades I keep seeing around here. Someday...
Looks to me like a day of retreat. I plan 591/590 CCS early in day. Might risk reverse with 595 long call, depending on how it looks, but probably won't need it. I see day closing at 588 - 588.50.
In another post, he said that his strategy involved selling CCS when the market was going down, and PCS when it's going up. And yet here he is doing the exact opposite. I smell bullshit.
CCS that far away usually yield such a small premium relative to the max loss of the spread. Do you just load up on contacts to make it worth it?
A big announcement or news break of some kind, for example about 20 minutes ago trade talks with China stalled, futures dumped, if the market was open I would probably have opened a 0-2DTE CCS 1.5 SD away about 10-15 minutes ago and be looking to close in a couple hours for 25-50% profit.
I can’t post anymore screenshots but here is a real life trade for those of you who were wanting a concrete example. SPXW 5920/5925 CCS 5/21 Open 38 @ $0.50 5/21 1:38 PM EST Open 40 @ $0.65 5/21 1:40 PM EST Close 78 @ $0.20 5/21 1:55 PM EST Realized Profit $2,940 This example was immediately following the 30yr bond auction that flopped pretty hard. As you can see here I chose 0DTE and the whole trade only took about 20 minutes and I hit over 50% actually.
If the market goes down, implied volatility increases, and you get more premium for a spread. the market will recover, but not immediately. if you sell a put credit spread you risk a continuation blowing through your long leg and then you’re screwed. Targeting 25-50% on a CCS typically gives you enough time to take profit before a reversal happens. But if you get greedy and hold too long you risk the sharp reversal
I hold 5 CCS 6000/6020 expiring Friday. That's why.
Mate, don’t waste $$$ buying puts here, worst case it stagnates here for a month or two before earnings The capitulation. Is done - sell CCS at your cost basis instead
I'm far from an Elon fan, but the one thing that jumped out to me looking at their balance sheet - their energy segment has increased steadily. With them wining the CCS/NACS war - and their existing install base and contracts for charging stations, that segment ALONE will grow their company for some time to come. Their biggest competitors in the market got their knees cut out from under them with the cancellation of government investments for EV charge deployments, etc. None of this justifies the HUGE PE ratio, but it's a large and growing segment of their future cash flow.
SPY puts then to SPY CCS
Okay i exited my puts, can we leg up a bit so I can open some CCS
We have CCS too for all cars standardised since the Nissan Leaf and Tesla superchargers are no exception also using CCS. The best chargers here are Ionity which is a group led by BMW, Ford, Hyundai and Volkswagen, but they’re also pretty costly unless you’re subscribed and fairly few and far between. I think there are more Tesla sites and number of stalls at sites tends to be more than other installations and they’re cheaper. A few Tesla locations allow charging for non Tesla vehicles. A few other companies also have some really good sites dotted around with high availability but nothing to the scale of either Tesla or Ionity IMO.
I'm not the biggest fan of rolling to get out of danger, if a CCS ( a bearish bias ) gets threatened, my defense: \--> hedge with long futures \--> close out the short strike for a loss, let the long run to break-even \--> back ratio the CCS ( more longs to offset the fewer shorts for net positive delta ) \--> convert the CCS into a CDS ( call debit spread ) or a net positive delta 3-legged spread - very similar to your ratio spread idea. adjust accordingly your ratios if you still believe in your thesis that it going down is correct, but were off on the timing ( vs being totally bust trade idea, in which my solution is to eat the loss ) throwing more money at a losing position is usually not a good idea, but I'd be very hypocritical if i said i've never done it and came out of top, I get my clench workout done in multiples in those scenarios When I get my CCS challenged, but still believe in the thesis, I've done a weird 4-legged CCS, converted into a CDS, and ultimately into a ghetto spread that turned out to be a net profit, but it was sweaty & i needed to put more capital into my position, which should be ringing in a LOT of veteran traders heads as they read this as a bad idea i don't recommend this path, but it CAN be done if you know what you're doing.
Blue and green hydrogen are long shots still. We produce a ton of hydrogen globally for industrial processes, and for cheap, but its all from carbon-intensive sources. Green hydrogen is still too expensive, and there are only a few relatively small operational projects. Many many GW of projects have been announced, but no telling if they will ever be built Blue hydrogen is more economically viable, but again there aren't many operational projects. The big question mark on those is that they require carbon capture and storage (that's what makes them "blue"). And that's still a relatively nascent sector too. Oil and gas does a lot of CO2 flooding as an enhanced recovery technique, but CCS for its own sake is much newer. In the U.S., operators need to get Class VI permits for their injection wells, which have been really hard to get. Oxy and its subsidiary 1PointFive did just get three Class VI permits for their direct air capture project STRATOS last week, and that project is supposed to start operations late this year. The big H2Hubs program for the DOE is probably dead on arrival, as that funding fell under mango's pause and *probably* won't survive. Same goes for a lot of other hydrogen and CCS projects in the U.S. They need federal cost sharing (and 45V tax credits for hydrogen) to be viable, and all of that is currently up in the air. So, short version is, its still a nascent industry, and large portions of it will likely end up being vaporware. I believe it will be developed and a functional industry eventually, but it will take longer than previously expected, and many of the current crop of companies involved won't survive the growth stages, unless like Oxy with DAC, they have other sources of revenue.
I have a $250 put debit spread that will probably not earn; but seeing what happens. My CCS is holding up though.
Market is down 13% from ATH. Do people really think this is the lowest low? Extremely high P/Es with a crumbling economy, low consumer spending, tariffs, all time high for cc debt and defaults on said CCS. We'll make it to open without any extreme moves but we're ending down 1-2%. Nobody is holding over the weekend because of fears of retaliation. 🥭 thinks they'll negotiate but we're just slowly removing ourselves from the world economy. At this rate we'll be looking like Russia within the next decade. Extreme poverty, no middle class, and an oligarch kakistocracy.
Sorry I'm. New can you run CCS on leaps or anything
