CCS = call credit spreads (bear spreads)
*cries in UVXY CCS* i need some relief lmao
Got it. So we are on the same page, CCS?
because premiums on bear spreads are materially lesser than bull spreads. And given where the market is at, one tweet / notion of the war ending and SPX will likely spike back to the 6880 area (key resistance level). Better to enjoy the fat premiums of bull credit spreads at the moment and use CCS to hedge
Shorting ES and CCS primarily So once my cheek gets penetrated my hedges will PRINT HARD
So ATM CCS SPX expiry tomorrow free money? 👀
Less risk and higher theta decay with 100 wide vs 50 / 25 wide. Much higher gamma the tighter your spreads are which becomes a double edged sword. Not to mention, you need much more contracts which equates to more broker transaction fees. 100 wide is my safe spot for my default PCS positions, but I typically use 20 wide when I am hedging with CCS
honestly I would be very excited for that - I have a ton of dry powder to hedge by PCS position via ES futures and CCS, and more importantly that would bring VIX up to mid 20s which would get me FAT premiums for the following weeks. Fingers crossed we drop HARD
I will say I generally steer away from call credit spreads (i.e. betting on bearish direction) because the premiums on the calls side are typically a lot less then that on the puts side. However I do use CCS very often for hedging (typically 10-20 wide instead of 100 wide for my base PCS position)
If you had a CCS and puts, doesn’t that mean you won?
MY GLD vertical CCS isn’t entirely cooked let’s go
well GLD is just gonna keep pumping and my vertical CCS is just gonna keep crying
Need me CCS vertical to hit tease him harder and come back down baby girl
Opening a vertical CCS in SPY today just because I know we’ll close below this
I got $455 $456 CCS so I think I’m gonna be okay I’ll pray to the gold gods
i feel so smart for opening a CCS at peak today
So basically buy long dated CCS on red days and vice versa for Green Day’s and just churn them out continuously?
Uh oh. My CCs... MY FUCKING CCS!!!!!!
Check out 0dte call credit spreads on RH for SPY. There is insane premium. SPY is at 682. A CCS 683/684 is .88 credit. If SPY ends below 683 you get $88. If it goes above you only lose $12. You can go up or down with strike price, or you can widen your wings, but you'll see how juicy the premium is. A 691/692 gets you $59 if the price stays the same, goes lower, or even rises 1.37%. If it goes above 1.38% you lose $41. Not seeing this on QQQ, SPX, or XSP. Is this a glitch?
CRC delivered another strong quarter: production on track, EBITDAX beat expectations, and capex came in below plan. FY26 expansion includes a 4-rig program and improving reserves outlook. A new partnership with Capital Power also opens major CCS growth potential. Analysts consensus for target price is 56$-72$
just an additional note when doing diagonals like this with leaps and cc’s. they are correct you almost don’t want trends when doing this because if a cc expires itm you loose all of your premium and can get whacked if you’re not careful ALWAYS ROLL OR CLOSE CCS before expectation
I sold CCS knowing that I have seen this play before. Easy money.
u/SonoPelato, u/crazybitcoinlunatic, u/Afraid-Hope-8689 Jan 2nd, Friday. Right at market open it already shows a sign of the top, GEX was at 6900, I started with 6905 CCS and increase position when it became a high conviction play; positions were already up 80-90% by midday. Found the bottom around 14:00, placed another PCS, big win that day. Use you favorite indicators, finds liquidity level, ICT, SMC, supply/demand, whatever you like, combined that with GEX level, that should give you a good starting point. Continue to watch GEX intraday levels changes to adjust your positions if needed.

In the last month or so BTC has tried breaking the 90k several times just to retreat. Its your money but if you get a pop and the calls go to .18 I think you'll be lucky. I threw in a CCS short strike at 167.5 today hoping for MSTR to go double digits mid year.
Go ahead and buy any of these stocks with p/e high of 10.1 and low of 3.8 if you stumbled on the secret sauce: CAG, TPH, MTH, CCS, DFH, CIVI, or OGN.
I for one, hope we see BTC go back to ATH. At that points we'll see if MSTR is even the leveraged play it bills itself as. Until then, I sold all mine and sold CCS's on the way down.
It's because I defined my Vertical Risk Spread when I did a CCS. As a Level 3 Option holder, I cannot be stuck with naked call options. When the sell calls were exercised, Robinhood needs to auto-execute the buy calls to cap my losses. That's literally what is supposed to happen. The problem is Robinhood did not. Every other broker does this.
Ok so on Nov 20 this was my play. I sold the CCS on 25660/25760 at 7am/10est , then at 9 am /12EST I sold PS 23630/23530 and added a few more 30 mins later . Both legs expires worthless. I usually only do one side and only when one side is over extending. I feel like I always lose if I play both side. But finally found another man of culture doing 100 wide NdX spread lol !
pretty damn good, thx for checking in!! closed the longs on the jump that day n the next, kept my short CCS's and closed em all on just this last friday for a penny each! why u trolling bruh? u coulda asked me back then what my longer term strat was, i enjoy talking technically and respectfully...
Statistically and historically speaking SPY or SP500 is more likely over time to go up than down. Leap on the other hand has the theta (other Greeks) risk and that plays with my mind during periods of drawdown. Same with PCS (put credit spread), one may lose out it goes other way- the r:r is skewed based on the delta, IV and strike width. In case of stock, one doesn’t have the risk of time element and if the bull thesis of price appreciation doesn’t work out we can have stop loss or else wait out such period. Again there is a lot on individual temperament and mindset, so if it works for you and you can manage those situation well without giving into emotions and can honor the defined risks of stop loss then why not. My own personal anecdotal data as well we mindset doesn’t handle such situation well. Yes, from time to time I also do leaps and sell credits (PCS or CCS).
J1772 is only single phase AC. As the MW goes up (DC fast charging) it’s either CCS or Tesla NACS. So far most brands are opting towards Tesla- Hyundai, Mercedez, Rivian, Kia. On top of the fact that Tesla still owns most superchargers for all those that use an adapter.
CLS. Big falloff today due to the sudden tech route, but up 200% YTD and was just as good last year. It's made me a pile of money. *Celestica Inc offers supply chain solutions.

If u r gonna play 0, play PCS/CCS.
I mostly played NDX PCS and CCS. And I played aggressively. 5 contracts at a time, cost around 50K. I played 0 DTE, way OTM, like 300-400 points out. My target was/is 1K profit per day. And I scaled my target depending on the market conditions. There were days when I barely scratched 1K. And there were days where I made more than 2.5K.
couldn't buy the dip, but at least closed out my CCS,
okay I will bite the CCS (bearish) is a $1 wide 646/647 its ITM worth 95c credit right now Friday evening of 7th with a week to go, SPY has to drop a lot to get it to expire worthless very unlikely has to drop that far in one week The 705/695 put credit spread (bullish) gave credit of $10, almost the width of the spread , and becaus that 705 is so far ITM, 8 contarct got assigned. It happens but the further ITM they are the higher a chance it can happen. I'm not surpised you were assigned 800 shares. The word "dabble", and "didn't seem expensive" , dude don't you undertstand that options are highly leveraged, what didn't seem expensive to you, well thats how they are priced, 10 contatcs don't seem a lot but they represent control of 1000 shares of a $650 stock!, thast 650K if you get assigned Either way you are learning to not sell so far ITM short strikes again,. You did get a bit unlucky but it does happen. btw that is not a small spread it was $10 wide
I was “smart” enough to close my SPX CCS after 4pm on Friday. Then again, my intelligence comes to question as to why I tried shorting the mango market in the first place. 🤡
It continues to trade like an overlooked turnaround play heading into earnings. In my opinion, it's still being priced as if it’s the same bloated company from a few years ago. Post CCS sale, they're left with their ANS and Ruckus divisions, which posted $127 million in quarterly adjusted EBITDA in August, up 326% YoY. On an LTM basis, that’s around $300 million EBITDA, and management has stated the business requires minimal capex - directly pointing to future margin expansion. ANS and Ruckus EBITDA margin hit \~25% in Q2, up from \~9% in the previous quarter. With debt continuing to come down and limited capital investment needs (from the CCS sale), there’s room for further margin expansion and deleveraging into 2026. I suspect they'll cross 30% in adjusted EBITDA in 2026 and will provide guidance for such on Thursday. This ultimately all hinges on earnings confirming these trends, and we'll need confirmation that CCS is still on track to close in the first half of 2026. IMO, this looks like one of those post-divestiture stories the market often overlooks until the results speak for themselves. Continued growth in ANS and Ruckus in Q3 and positive sentiment around CCS' eventual closing are the first leg of those results. If guidance is solid, I think the street will revise current 2026 EPS estimates of $1.61 to around \~$1.82-$1.85 (15% markup), and at today's PE ratio of 12.13x, the stock could reprice to \~$22.50 over the next year. Hence, a $2-3 pop.
With a jacked up IV, you’d be lucky to make anything. Best to sell CCS and bank on both theta decay and high premium.
Here’s the clean compare. Conventional jet is cheap: roughly $2–$3/gal in recent data (Europe’s 2024 reference sits near $2.3/gal). Public techno-economic work for ethanol-to-jet (ETJ/ATJ) puts a plant-gate minimum selling price in the mid-$3s per GGE in a base case, rising into the $4–$5.5/GGE range if you require green hydrogen, cleaner power, or extra carbon handling. In the real market, bio-SAF sold in Europe (a basket that includes HEFA and ATJ) has averaged about $6–$7/gal, while eSAF/PtL is far higher (around the mid-$20s/gal). So on pure cost: fossil jet \~$2–$3, ETJ TEA mid-$3s→$5s pre-policy, HEFA/bio-SAF market \~$6–$7, eSAF much higher. What closes the gap are mandates and credits, not wishful thinking. In the U.S., 45Z can add up to $1.75/gal for qualifying SAF based on its certified carbon intensity, and state programs can stack on top; in Europe, rising blend mandates and compliance math force buyers to source SAF or pay penalties. Co-location with an operating ethanol plant and CCS is about driving a lower CI score so those credits actually land. Whether a specific ETJ project is profitable with the loan then comes down to boring math: its verified CI (which sets credits), its true plant cost (feedstock, utilities, capex/financing), and its contracted selling price. No forecasts here, just the levers that decide if the delta pencils...
That’s when I got the fuck out of my SPX CCS. Shat my pants as I had bought those right at the bottom when ES thought it was fun to keep moving up.
I am ready to get hurt by gold again. Gonna full port CCS tomorrow. 🤡🥶
Somehow, my regarded ass bought puts and CCS.🙏
Thank you so much! I still need to understand the Greeks more. Until then trading these CCS will not be a wise idea!
The problem is holding a 3x inverse ETF will get creamed as the market continued marching up. People lose more money trying to hedge than in the actual downturn. Sell CCS otm on strong stocks.
That may have been me….. and no, you know how CCS work.
I lost about 80k couple years ago. I was an electrical engineer working in EV charging world, and I thought that was a promising idea so bought a lot of charging companies stocks. Then with Ford, GM and other companies announcing they were going to adapt NACS and dropping CCS, I lost 80k in about a week. That’s all my savings for 3 years after graduation, I couldn’t sleep at all for multiple weeks and it emotionally drained me for an entire year. I only buy VOO now, it has been great and I would never buy any stocks.
Fuck me I JUST SOLD AGGRESSIVE CCS ON GOOGLE FFS
Locked in all GLD and NVDA long positions, nice +1.32% day. Putting on portfolio delta neutral SPX CCS hedge. $PCALL is still extremely low, in addition to JPM's collar strike at 6505 expiring next week. Potential to be a magnet level for the next few days if breadth continues to be weak. Most important thing is to not get caught in the possible flush
I full ported SPY CCS, i’m feasting
Full ported into 1 month DTE SPY CCS, JPOW please save me
CCS as in covered calls? Into a rate cut environment?
All I fucking had to do was go long. But no! I had to fucking get CCS. 🤡🤦♂️
I’ve got CCS expiring tomorrow. One of us will bank. Take your pick.
If inversing WSB is a thing…my SPX CCS r so fucked. 😭
I just need ES to open flat tomorrow. Red is great. Slight green is okay. I just need to get the fuck out of my SPX CCS. 🙏
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. 😭
