Trade At the money 0dte /ES futures options 30 min before close , your gonna want to watch it also ,gonna get spicy
Depends on the ticker, ES and NQ sentiment, VIX and any catalysts. You need to let your 0dtes ride and not paper hand with a small win like a pussy. I'd say on a day like today when your OTM goes few strikes ITM or at least a 10X your original investment you can sell half and then ride the rest until an hour before market close. Or until market close if there's enough momentum and consistently elevating IV (puts consistently held their value even during any spikes upward) Today NVDA and SCMI puts had some hundred baggers. Even if you lose five fridays in a row, one strangle on a black swan style friday will wipe out all your previous losses. The point is having significantly larger wins than losses. 0dtes, though high risk have insanely high rewards which is why one needs to detach emotionally with a predetermined amount
I spent the last hour of the day scalping 0dte /ES calls and puts, don’t think I held one more than 3 min , most fun I’ve had trading possibly ever, and had 4 positive and only 1 trade I lost money, and it was small amount. The swings are crazy, intense as hell
If I'm being honest right now I'm still catastrophically depressed despite having gone short /ES a few weeks ago. Life's tough right now even when your portfolio is alright.
This is why I like trading ES contracts (options or direct futures). You aren’t stuck on the sidelines after hours if something moves your direction in a big way. I know SPX trades after hours now, but liquidity is still suspect and some brokers don’t support it
Could have bought /ES calls
/ES Daily candle that’s 93 points of pure recovery, no body at all. Last time that happened? Not even October 13, 2022 had that.
Congrats to anyone who bought the /ES dip
lol I bought ES futures at basically the exact bottom and sold when it was 1% down, coulda made about 5k
So 80pt move on ES overnight? Wtf……
ES bers waking up b like, where money? 
Lmao that one regard with the 1000 OTM puts single handedly bounced ES 60pts.
ES (SP500) futures consolidating on 1min candles with RSI about to dip below 30 and will moon. once we open PM

ES futures mooning https://preview.redd.it/uhorc7bbsdvc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82948a4d62db56c339b5eb3d9843293c3ee849ef
Because ES bounced 60 points off tue lows and probably going to be flat at 9:30am
nope, sold my ES puts about an hour ago
ES futures breaking out… we going full V
ES 5000 holding like a champ now, 40 points off the lows.
No, that’s just how it will show on charting apps and yahoo finance. 1! Indicates the front month contract; the historical chart beyond 3 months will show you the front month contracts stitched together. /ESM24 is the front month right now and if you type just /ES into a real brokerage account it will take you to that one.
ES might completely V at this rate.
A LOT of people are buying ES puts tonight. https://preview.redd.it/oaxnfrs26dvc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d7f4273ee2fd168afa524c9ad3cea0a8a5d4b2b
ES futures are up about 20 points from the low, crazy trading ahead, could be positive by am due to minimal force used.
1.5 hours of solid buying on ES https://preview.redd.it/wbj8n7z25dvc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf069c5fac9f53e67823781945731f38bf8e8e03
No. /ES and /NQ and all other futures trading just fine. SPY and QQQ are not futures products.
ES futures ripping higher
45 point on ES so far… V is getting real.
ES taking back 5000, not a whole lot of selling for the last hour.
ES 0.5% off the lows… quite a V forming.
ES continuing to get bought up off the lows now clawing back to 5000, 40 points off the lows.
I’m looking at ES and oil futures, this is not the price action I expected given this news
ES 30 point bounce off the lows so far
SPX options and ES options are open now.
I’m literally trading ES options on thinkorswim right now. It’s not closed, the globex doesn’t halt unless it hits a breaker. Robinhood 24 hour trading isn’t the actual globex futures market. Use a broker where you can actually trade on CBOE.
/ES -60, /NQ -270 /CL +3 Honestly was expecting much worse
You have to be very quick in covering this in the morning. Buy some ES hedge
I bought (one) ES 5000C for tomorrow. Time for bed. 
It’s nights like tonight where I realize how fucking stupid all of the regards here are that trade SPY options instead of /ES S&P E-Mini Futures Contracts/Options, which can be traded 23 hours a day with no day trading requirements. Congrats on missing tonight’s action SPY regards.
S&P E-Mini Futures and its options /ES trade 23 hours a day, and open Sunday at 6 Eastern. Same for the Nasdaq E-Mini Futures and its options /NQ No day trading requirements either. I have no clue why idiots here trade SPY options.
Buy puts on the /ES now
ES futures starting to consolidate here only down around 1.3%… not too bad
ES options don’t have day trade limits… and can be traded 23 hours a day
Or just fucking buy ES puts right now. Only trade ES options
ES trying to bounce again
/ES is currently tanking -80-85 after stock market close, so you can expect SPY lower lol
The weekly candle on ES/NQ looks ungodly red lol
My ES 5000p for tomorrow is making prrrrrt sounds already
Okay it looks like the bloodbath has been contained in the ES… didn’t even hit -2%
Alright ES 15 point bounce
Overnight sessions like this are why I trade ES options and not SPY options
ES about to take out 5,000
Buy ES puts now. You’re missing out.
# daily routine of a japanese: # 1) wake up # 2) brush teeth # 3) sell 5 lots of ES futures
Up 10k on my ES puts that I bought afterhours right before daily settlement. Gonna close them out in the next 15 minutes unless we keep drilling.
SPY and ES are dirty hedges for SPX and XSP. They highly correlate but will stray sometimes. SPX and XSP are exact except they will have different bid/asks. In my limited experience with XSP, it will clear at SPX mids.
ES hanging by a whisker. If it loses 5045, you’re gonna see some serious shit when it hits 88 mph. Just ask Doc Brown
Bulls left an intraday gap at 5085 on ES_F. Watch the fade to that level
How long before the /ES breaks 5000?
ES go wrong way, bear not happy
Oh snap…headed back down before even a test of 5082 on ES_F
Dead cat bounce to 5082 on ES_F and then continued selling
Up around 10k for today so far, I just checked and I would be +30k If I held on to all of my 4/19 and 4/26 ES puts that I got in premarket. Fuck my life
Just need 1 20 point drop before open on ES
you do know that the highest volume options are SPX options which are tradable most hours of the day (same for VIX options or ES options)
Wednesday's put support is SPX 5035/ES 5075 so unlikely we break lower today. It's literally the level we just touched an hour or so ago. Options gamma suggests we could pump up to SPX 5150/ES 5190 for Thursday, burn puts, then possibly sell down to SPX 5000 (ES 5040) put support for Friday. Food for thought. For you regards that's roughly Wed support SPY 502, Thur SPY 510-512, Fri 500-502. No guarantees only possibilities. All eyes on NFLX earnings, I guess. Pump and dump, or dump and pump?
ES and NQ futures both just broke through yesterday's lows, let's see how good of a support level this is
ES hasn’t gone red at all tonight.
ES 5120 resistance was textbook yall are right at home if u lost money today
the ES is mooning because Jpow said he might not lower rates in June... good luck buyers
Held an ES contract down -$1,500 to hit my profit target of $50
Is there a website I can get a live ES price? Every one I’m finding is delayed by 10mins
I’m probably biased as a turbo ES nerd but I get your perspective, there are definitely better universities out there for production development. One off the top of my mind would be warhammer 40k a friend tried to explain the lore to me when we were high and I malfunctioned
Yeah but the ES universe isn’t that interesting, and this is from a guy who’s played hundreds of hours of ES games. Not that much compared to turbo nerds, I know, but enough to know the lore is meh.
\> /ES -0.20% \> wsb: "bro futures are limit down holy shit" 🙄
This is how I check it, but it’s delayed 15 min. You have to pay for live info. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ES=F/
Exactly ES started selling off Wednesday, SPX was triple topped, inflations still high, dollar too strong, skew shifting, the writing was on the wall. Israel just some made up catalyst that wouldn’t have mattered much at a different time.
Fd up hard getting out of my ES futures and Put options a bit early.
It took 2 weeks for the /ES to fall from 5330 to below 5200. How long will it take for it to break 5100?
Question on futures options. Websites that claim to explain the math usually seem to use gold futures and ES/spx as examples which are both 100 units so math is same as equity options, so I am confused on other futures options. Looking at say Wheat options specs on cme site, and it say one futures contract is 5000 bushels, spot price 5.54 a few days ago, so around $250,000 notional value. So on TOS historical looking at atm put last week, and atm put option is around $9 with 8 days till exp, and when I continue in simulated trading to buy one option contract, its roughly $450 debit, so seems like a 50x multiplier. But I cant find that 50 multiplier in cme specs..only 5000 bushels per futures contract. So does this mean on futures options they first do a "get to 100" thing so 5000 bushels/100 is 50, so that's options multiplier on options chains. I cant find any documenation on any 1/100th factor...thanks.
Lets fucking go Brandon I got me 4 ES and 2 NQ for ATH.
/ES futures already started with 20 handles up

DXY has hard reversed since this comment, im too zoomed in cuz i'm too levered on ES
63,000 ES contracts have traded so far already!
ES1! on tradingview for S&P futures, but it's 15m delayed unless you buy a data feed
Just to give some color, I’m dead wrong on the futures open, ES is slightly up, VX futures slightly lower (~.7%). I think if Israel has no response by end of day Monday we should see vol come out more. Bond vol is lower and yields higher. I think if you’re trading the vol here, you want to be weary of Israeli response. I think we don’t see escalation through Monday so it might be a good day to collect some theta. If Israel starts talking about a real response I think buying calls in fixed income such as TLT etf or ZF futures would be a good trade
Short ES or NQ futures right now if you’re scared
