You should learn to trade /ES and SPY first, in a trading system approach, where there is a daily trade plan and disciplined rules about how the system works. Options trading, especially when trading them directionally, is extremely difficult to become consistently profitable because there are far too many variables to weigh. A trading system (like ShadowTrader or eminiplayer.net) will give you the consistent practice you need to develop market skills that will undoubtedly help with options trading later. But jumping straight into options trading — specifically DIRECTIONAL options trading, not spreads — has a literal 95% failure rate.
$600 will buy you one ES contract... at $50 a point you'll get it back in no time. Go get'em tiger 🐅!
If apple went back to 22 cents.. I'd still watch it go by...again. I do not like any of these overpriced self declared state owned organizations.. I blur them to play with ES. I ignore what makes SPY. just gimme the money when I pretend to be dyslexic and gain the right direction.  I hope this next bear snap is a good one. The only truthful thing that happens.
My ES short stopped out at 4286 is sad
Damn, sniped my ES short's stop and then plunged.
Shorting the top always feels amazing. ES 4291 shorts checking in
ES back to V weighted ass price
Long ES resistance is futile
Kinda wild but back in my day, NQ used to follow ES, now ES follows NQ. Diversification no longer matters, only tech matters now lol
Is ES gonna grind through this and be all green
Every time /ES dips below 0.0% it instajumps above. Like clockwork
You have time. Stay put. ES is over extended on the BB. Some pullback is in order. Mopex flows should be supportive and 4200 should hold. Maybe even 4250. Tomorrow and Wed may go red. But its gonna be BTFD again. So sell some short dated puts and recoup some losses. You have a big short position so any daytrading you do should be long to offset the loss.
Lost by shorting indices and futures.. NQ/ ES/ QQQ SPX.. Some individual stock losses like Tesla, NVDA.
Dear Fellow regards, I would appreciate a YOLO play to lose the remaining 14K and close my account ofrver. Lost big by shorting NQ & ES futures, NQ &ES puts, QQQ & SPX puts, some on DDog, NVDA, AMD, Tesla, Aapl & SQQQ long. Don't fight the delusional bull market. Too late for me.. I'm by no means rich but had worked very hard to make this money and will have to work until very old age now.
Been holding ES shorts at a loss over the weekend, finally got out of them for a nice profit after that AAPL dump...finally.
30 minutes till close and ES is just barely twitching
Just 🦘SPX & /ES, but do love some disappointed Buls, for some reason.
I’m short 1 ES, if this breaks it looks like it could be pretty juicy worth the risk imo
Plsss go down another 5pts on the ES.
Lol what are they rotating out of AAPL into to keep ES from plunging
ES gonna spike back over 4300 into close. There just not enough volume to follow through on this selloff
What's the point (pros & cons) for trading options on futures VS. futures itself? ​ \*\*All product below refers to /MES. Small account here and got tired of the PDT rules trading SPX butterflies, so I started looking into futures and options on futures. After reading a bit, I have a couple questions regarding the topics. I get futures are settled daily, but if I choose to hold a position overnight and there's an adverse price action, is margin requirement calculated in real-time? If so, will the margin call be issued by the broker while I'm asleep? Liquidity between /ES vs /MES? Liquidity between options on /ES vs /MES? Assume entering 1 x MESM3 at 4300, at expiration it settles at 4400, profit will be (4400- 4300) \* 5 - commission ($0.62) = $499.38. In comparison to the same day expiration option, on Jun 16, /MES 4300 call that cost $7, profit will be (4400 - 4300 - 7) \* 5 - commission ($1.82) = $463.18. Why would I trade options rather than the futures itself, since the options payout is less, given the higher commission? Pros I can think is that the option will not be marked to market overnight compared to holding the contract itself; margin requirement might be lower for the option. Please correct me if I'm wrong and thank you for any input. Currently trading in paper account to get a feel about this before dipping into real money.
"ES has a red candle? Buy AAPL"
To my highly trained eye, ES went down and found some solid support and looks like uppies for puppies from here. I’m long up a couple bucks just entered
ES is having a bull/bear penis sword fight at last fridays poc.
Bulls showing some horns off last Friday POC in the ES.
Everytime ES touches 430 we gap down hard
Many of y’all use SPY for your levels instead of ES and it shows lmao
Oh this could be a great day to short NQ or ES if that was just an opening uppercut to screw people up
ES (SP500 Futures) looks fairly normal
Legit no volume on ES. Wack af already tbh. AAPL might be a sell the news event. I think we’re gonna pause and consolidate some more here as there’s not much momentum
Lol, having ES and SPY open next to each other something fucky is definitely going on
ES 4300 breached with VIX up 4%. Makes sense
Why wheel SPY when you can wheel /ES. One /ES contract is about 200k notional, you have the capital for it.
To add confluence... /ES gapped up last week during globex and did the same thing RTH Monday morning.
Inverse bearhunter, im loading up on ES calls
Oil news has me worried about my ES shorts, should've been in NQ :(
I *think* 4300/4350 then retracement to below 4000. I will be shorting the ES at 4300
Could be used for random dialog between two random interacting npcs, like maybe a more natural version of what you would see in ES: Oblivion. I could definitely see it being overdone too though.
This week should be good trading, as in not a boring week. Russell is finally moving up after a really long consolidation range, ES finally broke up, NQ doing it’s thing, and even Dow jones launched The guy in Saudi Arabia needs oil to be worth more to meet their budget, so that could be a good long now w opec meeting Soybeans wheat and corn are also finally bouncing up
I was trading /ES for a bit but got tilted one day and blew myself up. Am I doing it right?
I agree with you. Both NQ and ES will be chop until FOMC.
“Investing” in the VIX is essentially a long vol position. In my view, the most cost effective and liquid way to express long vol is buying a put position on the S&P through futures or options. Monthly rolling puts on SPY or ES will do the trick.
Oh lord. I'm guessing you're talking about /ES or /MES because SPX is not a "futures index". Futures are traded, and require maintenance margin. A sharp move against you, and your broker will place you in a margin call and begin liquidating your portfolio if you don't have additional capital to cover. If you don't know what any of this means, I would just stop and rethink what you're about to do. Futures are advanced financial instruments and carry high risk.
For real bruh, even once all those record ES hedges come off, that will only be the end of part I. Part II is when all those fools in money markets FLOOD into the stock market. 2.83% rate today according to truflation Watch if we get CPI to get down to 3%. Joe Biden might even tell that cuck powell to cut a quarter to make him look good for the election or he'll kick his teeth in. That would unleash the BIGGEST FLOOD of panic buy EVER. May not be likely, but don't be surprised, the fed is known to be huge pussies, as shown historically. Either way, it's not necessary for the inevitable meltup, but it may happen.
You see, that whole TGA thing has been talked about for months. Only a fucking idiot would believe that hasn't already been priced in. Notice how yields were mooning with tech rising? There was a disconnect. Treasury market was front running this thing. Bro, QT has been going since over a year now. The stock market hasn't given a single flying fuck. This whole liquidity narrative is complete bullshit and more bear p0rn. These annoying fucking feggits always find some sort narrative of narrative to try to spook markets. They're literally psychos dude. Anybody who is buying bonds over stocks right now is a huge pussy anyways, they wouldn't buy stock anyways cuz they got no balls. Besides, we don't need buyers. Those dumbfuck bears have provided us all the liquidity we need. The record short on ES futures is almost like another money printer. They are the liquidity we need. Those shit-for-brains became the thing they most hated, they have now put in a floor in the market and are our backstop. #LMAO
ES 4320ish was the next highest fail
We're filling a weekly volume imbalance/void from August 15th to August 22nd of last year in case anybody wanted to see why we are pumping this hard. We have to balance price delivery. There is another above this one. Check your ES weekly chart if you want to see it.
ES weekly imbalance at 4306-4314. She wants it bad
I just sold short ES 4600 Jul 3rd calls, pray for me
I'm not a bear but I think we hit 4350 on /ES before the flush. Market breadth + A/D is far too poor to sustain this move.
We're closing 4300 on ES aren't we
Ill buy some ES if this thing is never going down again
You are crazy shorting ES on the debt ceiling deal and rate hike pause. Close now before you actually blow the fuck up bru
Almost got margin called on my ES shorts... I would've been pissed.
For the Tech Analysis nerds the ES just bounced on the night session POC. To be expected. The Q is will that be the rth low.
If this is a healthy bull move hen the ES Opening gap should get closed.
another day I wasted. 84 RSI and ES still climbing. if I had a climactic personality.. I'd jump in. could hope for a bear...it's all fake to me. just gimme the money. 
When there is a gap up through a previous swing high (ES 2/2/23) you know that FOMO is in full force.
You can open and close ES options positions as many times as you want all day long so long as your account value is greater than $1,500.00.
ES options don't have day trade rules.
Trade ES and ES options...
At this point /ES just did a healthy +0.4% so far. In case of pullback at or befor open, bers have been softlanded AGAIN
NQ looking relatively weak as ES just made new recent highs and NQ, the more rate-sensitive index, has not. DXY looking poised for a bounce. If job reports comes in strong with good wage growth, it may tip this in the other direction. I have a feeling it won’t and comes in perfectly tepid, causing us to breakout out of this godforsaken range lmao
/ES edging higher, bers getting cucked harder
Because you can trade ES and ES options 23 hours a day during the week beginning Sunday evening and there is not day trading limit or $25k requirement.
I think pretty soon the record ES shorts are going to unwind and cause SPY to meltup just as furiously as QQQ has the last 5 weeks. Not to mention the whole world is looking at SPY right now, it could be an insane pump if they start to rotate out of european stocks back to SPY. I have no idea what will happen to QQQ though, if SPY pumps. It's a real mystery as that thing is incredibly overheated. I said earlier I was looking for QQQ to drill and SPY to pump, but after looking at AAPL, that thing looks like it's on a moon mission. It's a real paradox, as i simply cannot see SPY consolidating anymore from here, like it has for 3 months straight, this thing is breaking out and about to have a meltup.
News is more of a reactionary, fast decision to make a trade. I personally don’t do this. A lot of guys are snipers with this. Depends on your style. I just trade ES futures, personally.
My future options positions would notionally be the most (/ES, /MES, /NG, /CL) Not options but I have a couple /M2k - /MNQ pair trades. Uses around 4k span margin per tranche. Ratio of 3 /M2K - 1 /MNQ. That would be my biggest position.
The boring side of my account, 20 Delta strangles ES, GLD, HD, About 30 days DTE. Getting ready to short Tesla again this level (short stock not put options) just about as safe as you can go right now reasonably with how volatile things have been the last year or so. Long premium short Delta, just focusing on keeping things well balanced. The more entertaining side of my account is been SPX butterflies just for s**** and giggles, It's been a lot of fun building and developing a strategy around that trade. I'm a loser but I'm enjoying building a new Excel spreadsheet to help me manage my risk.
Literally 0 volume in /ES right now. Damn, market going up for sure, nobody wants to hedge anymore. And that means more capital to BTFD
Yea, the ES futures close every day for an hour for settlement. They open at 6 p.m. EST.
The ES hasn't been trading for 18 minutes and does not open for another 42 minutes. It's doing literally nothing right now.
ES coming back for that ass with vengeance. Prob break upwards this time
ES has a shitton of Liquidity lol, not sure what your broker is talking about.
I've been waiting all day to short this rally, finally starting my position here at ES 4239
ES is coming up on a previous rejection point pretty soon
ES is just SPY on crack, why not?
ES is a long way away from vwap or value area high
I would have been in better shape holding my ES 4210 calls from yesterday
AAPL 180 is keeping the market capped, and it's pretty amusing. If that gets breached, ES 4250 is likely.
I looked at ES 4180 and was like "damn, I should buy here". I didn't, regretting that lol
LOS FUTUROS ES DUMPIENDOOOO 
I made 500 on ES 500 YM (Dow jones) then 150 silver lost 160 on mnq and made some on wheat and corn oil and rb, small scalping all over
