What are your all in round trip costs for NQ and ES minis and micros?
why would you not just trade ES at that point, jesus
For that many trades why not just do a few big ES contracts lol
He would've saved some money trading ES by either spending less in fees or just blowing the 3k 10 times faster.
Gold up on monday - ES/NQ down
Circuit breakers coming soon /GC 10,000 /SIL 5000 /ES down 400
like today i had -3 ES on all day and after the morning it basically did nothing. if thats 0 DTE it burns to 0. instead it just chilled doing mostly nothing, taking some heat at the end of day but the basis is higher from yesterday so w/e.
fuk a gap risk, leaving short ES going over the weekend 🫡
Just buy ES futures options now then..
NVDA and AAPL you shits preventing ES to fly
Same as in all other things you can trade you must have an edge. When trading options you must know when the underlying - a stock, a commodity, an index future, bonds... makes a jump nobody expects. E.g. you can buy puts on the ES with strike at 5000 when it is at 7000, but you make the cash only ... when it makes the giant move. But is that realistic? IMO not... and most option traders put together less aggressive approaches, with longs, shorts, calls, puts to neutralize the time value decay, to limit the risk ... and limit the possible gains.
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
My lucky stars I had good timing, unloading my /NQ and /ES long futures shortly after close
long CL short ES, trailing stops in place, its either a good day or a great one
thank you nvda for rescuing my ES shorts
Maybe I won't feel so dumb about holding /ES and /NQ short when the futues reopen in half an hour
CME ES futes better have technical difficulties now to fuck up all the Greek bullshit.
"NQ minis" is not a thing. Because NQ literally IS the E-Mini - so there is no need to say "NQ Mini" Those of us that trade NQ all day every day just call it "NQ" and if you want to trade MNQ you just call it MNQ... Same applies to ES and MES GC and MGC Calling something "ES mini" or "GC Mini" is how you get caught being a noob. And if you do trade NQ, metals and gas being halted right now means nothing.
Someone short ES quick. That’ll get the algos moving again.
ES looks so bullish rn its crazy
idk it's looking kinda bullish. Outside and up nearing the top of the week's opening range. We could see a breakout for the Feb OR top around ES 7025, or SPY 699... Watching for supply pressure but I'm just not seeing any yet.
aaaand CLOSED my /ES short position. that was fun. in and out hour within an hour with around 1.5 grand
cuz algos gonna be trading his bullshit and hes gonna say "corporate tax cuts" and that'll make ES go up so ppl are front running that
ES and NQ fighting to keep 6900 and 25k respectively. We’re either going to fade hard or rocket into close to confirm the move
The state of the union would be an awful time to announce how he’s going to get markets to double. Short here. It definitely isn’t going to happen. Shorting NQ and ES. Good luck bolz.
Shorting ES here. The top is in bolz time to get rekt.
Just shorted ES1. Enjoy your green dildo bulz
SPX itself has extended hours through futures. you can look into /ES (S&P 500 futures), which trades almost 24 hours during the week. a lot of SPX price action is driven by futures anyway. just be careful though, overnight sessions are thinner and can move fast, so risk management matters even more outside regular hours
/ES trapped bears and squeezed.
this market has gotten so bad that 8 pts on ES makes u think were pumping lmao
A plunge to 5800 /ES by March op ex will be nice (April 2025 style), followed by V and 7500 EOY
SPY bounced hard off that 200SMA as predicted but if that fails and ES 6847.75 officially in bear country. Currently at bottom of channel.
ES 6850.25 6847.75 has to hold if fail bear market begins
ES and NQ near bottom of channel will either see a nice pop or bear country begins
still in the ES channel and VIX is still down 4% for prior 5 days. 6850 is what needs to break and fail to flip bearish
8 straight clean hard rejections of the ES 50 day MA
Lmao how is there a gap in ES futures during open hours Bears cooked
Futures down 0.78% right now, ticker ES1!
omg ES pls stop dropping, i"m BLEEDING
As an exclusive futures trader it’s been very odd to go from carefully trading ES and NQ to blindly buying all dumb shiny metals dip. Are we ok?
ES & NQ futes will open down 0.5% or more
how will ES and NQ open tonight?
backmonth /VX has lately been a better hedge for /ES longs than futures options on /ES. /VX decays slower than those options (if nothing happens of course) and the spread is so much better.
You can trade ES futures and futures options without being subject to PDT rules. SPX options ARE subject to PDT, though.
Anyone follow my advice: It’s gonna hit that 1 min candle high after Trump tariff which is Spy $689.36 / ES 6925 before dumping
Told you guys: It’s gonna hit that 1 min candle high after Trump tariff which is Spy $689.36 / ES 6925 before dumping
It’s gonna hit that 1 min candle high after Trump tariff which is Spy $689.36 / ES 6925 before dumping
It’s gonna hit that 1 min candle high it reached after Trump tariff which is Spy $689.36 / ES 6925 before dumping
It’s gonna hit that 1 min candle high after Trump tariff which is Spy $689.36 / ES 6925 before dumping
It’s gonna hit that 1 min candle high after Trump tariff which is Spy $689.36 / ES 6925 before dumping
it's all over the place but it's .3% on NQ .13% on ES. RTY is -2.%
Kinda scared of market open. Holding a short on /ES, so it can hedge a broad decline in longs across my port. Hesitant to go too far b/c there could be a huge jump on a SCOTUS tariff decision? Ugh. Might be a day to crawl back into bed and hide.
I mean the Eurozone growing at 1.3% is incredible because the bar for us is so low (and France is a basket case) Individual states like NL, ES and SE are doing very well though
🐂 better find an exit if ES breaks below 6865 again
ES looks bearish but somehow it’ll still spike and close above today’s high lol
50% of plan: using micros to slowly leg into full positions in /ES and /NQ over many weeks or even months, hedged from time to time with long or short full /VX contracts. the other 50%: NOT going to trade fucking natty gas /NG this time.
Would've been unhealthy if /ES just ripped through top resistance today.
Today's /ES's rally propelled by yesterday's bear trap
Jesus ES looks like it’s about to just stop moving
Interesting that SPX just retraced the overnight high but ES didn’t follow. Almost like it knew it was fake. Never seen that before.
It was my absolute pleasure to buy an ES futures contract at exactly 4:50 am this morning and seal the fate of the entire global financial system.
Idk about other platforms, but thinkorswim offers a gauge in their analyze tools to adjust implied vol, to see how the trade would perform under increased Vega/volga. It's crucial to understand the risk you take when trading undefined risk strategies like short strangles. This is how a lot of people got blown up during the last volmaggeddon, August of 2024. I sometimes sell undefined risk on ES futures. When I do, I like to crank up the implied vol to +30% in the analyze tools, which is the equivalent to a very high VIX (50-60), if I'm able to pony up the cash (since futures are mark-to-market), I take on the trade. That being said, I usually only sell 1-2 lot at a time for this reason.
Was just reading that PDT thread about the delay. You guys that are hampered by PDT know you can trade ES futures options to play the same 0DTE game as others without any PDT restrictions right?
ES futures made an intra-day low and high. Wild price action. 😅
/ES squeezed almost 80 points. More upper targets if it wants more.
Some poor retail bastards port just got nuked because they thought 6805 was a good spot to short ES 🤣
Just noticed large OTM orders on ES options chain. Big boys are hedging big time this week. Largest is 21k @ 5600 for tomorrow… They expecting data dump to crack this bish?
ES was gonna hit new lows then a dumb low volume green dildo showed up for no reason
This green ES candle does not bring joy
Come on ES hit new lows already
ES should be at 6800 rn, not this 6840-50 bullshit
why ES stop making new lows?
what is that weird looking green thing on the ES futures this last 15 minutes?
Surely /ES won’t take out 6800 tonight… surely…
ES at level where it may get rug pulled to the 2/6 lows
/ES futures are up 12 /YM futures are up 160
How are you factoring in /ES and SPY into your decision process for SPX?
Which Mag7 is puking to create such a divergence between NQ and ES?
ES ABOUT TO GO RED it’s da end of the world
ES futures are up 10… so…
yep correct, my mistake /ES /EQ close at 13:00 ET
It’s not about age. There are people well into their adult years who are constantly wrong. A 11-year old’s opinion shouldn’t be discredited just because of age. I agree that fundamentally, high unemployment isn’t a Bullish sign. But I’m also saying that there have been may “unemployment” scares “war” scares “(insert anything)” scares, and the market hasn’t crashed. What I’m saying is that these things are incredibly difficult to predict. The most recent example is the pandemic when people were screaming since the bottom when ES was at 2200 and there are people who have been bearish since then calling for a global collapse and ES is nearing 7000. There will be Bullish and Bearish data to fit the bias of everyone out there. At the end of the day, it’s about knowing your risk management and your time horizon, in my opinion.

What a generational buying opportunity is being made available to future traders tonight! ES for bargain price of 6860!!! People have been waiting decades to get such a wonderful buying opportunity, especially as we enter the most bullish week of the month! Blink, and 6860 will still be there. Staring back.
ES Gold once again, keep hearing about this. Looks like its gunna pop soon

Crypto tells you all you need to know about what's coming tonight. Low volume, slow motion ES collapse.
Appreciate this breakdown. The point about SPX not carrying true volume and leaning on ES profile is key. We do something similar, but what I’m building goes a layer deeper into timing and role separation. I treat structure, volume, and positioning as separate decision agents instead of blending them into one narrative. So BB handles macro bias and positioning context, MB handles structural confirmation, and LB handles precision and intraday behavior. Then timing windows determine when those signals matter most. The goal isn’t just reading levels, it’s sequencing liquidity. Would love to compare notes sometime on how you’re mapping options flow into execution timing.
I day trade $ES/$MES. I have followed you for a year and I feel out of my depth and overwhelmed by what you do and how you do it to the point that I even began to start a trial week and decided against it based upon the fact that I felt I would be starting from way behind in a week would not be sufficient to even learn. Where can a person at an insufficient Vol GEX knowledge level or complete lack thereof like me begin to learn about and grow to where I can take advantage of and incorporate what you're doing and what your service offers?
Yes, I read that institutions are rotating into defensive stocks i.e consumer staples and utilities. Given that ES/NQ are tech-heavy, its obvious they will take a hit. But its been nearly half of a year, and most big-caps reported positive earnings (Unless they were fabricated aswell) Why would they give us fake numbers tho?
Weird week, weird times in the markets. NFP - positive Unemployment Rate - positive CPI - positive Equities - mixed. RTY/DOW - positive YTD ES/NQ - negative YTD 5months of sideways action, tightening of range. Is this longterm profit taking? Is this extreme hedging? Is this options gamma range?
/ES closing at +.03% We are so back!!!!
red candles have twice the volume of green candles on ES… but okay dude
