I use Barchart to find trading opportunities. But for iron condors I only do SPY or XSP or QQQ or GLD. Mostly SPY/XSP. I mostly do the wheel a bit modified with bull put spreads (with enough cash to buy but also a long put for protection). As I’ve stated before sometimes I only close the short portion when the stock takes off because it’s not worth it to close the long portion. A few times the stock ends up dropping and I also end up selling the long put for profit.
**Ban Bet Created:** **/u/visionarymind** bet **GLD** goes from **185.33** to **174.21** before **01-Apr-2023 04:49 PM EDT** Their record is 4 wins and 5 losses.
GLD option buyers gonna be taken to the bathroom for 1-2 weeks
Gonna enter a GLD put position again once iv tanks. Best way for a reverse gamma squeeze or normal gamma squeeze to reverse is iv crush. I closed my first position for 40% would have made 90% if I sold at the lows and got iv whacked
A couple days back I mentioned GLD puts were easy money. Yup Im an idiot. Thankfully Mr Market never lets me forget for too long
GLD calls and bank puts are a smart move
Me beginning of day: Let's sell some covered GLD calls. Make some money, it's big moves are over.
Got stopped out of GLD on Tuesday 
it's curious to me why people are still so bullish here. Nothing has really changed about the economy or the banks. Other than an implicit, maybe guarantee? Not sure, queen of fibs is calling for 4100... That takes a lot of capital to get up there. ​ NVDA.. let me tell you something about NVDA. When advanced chips were the thing, Their CEO said that was their thing and Cramer pumped them. When Crypto was the thing, Their CEO said that was their thing. And Cramer Pumped them. Now AI/ChatGBT is the thing, their CEO said that was their thing and Cramer pumped them. Now .. I don't have the ballz to short NVDA.. But your SUSPECT!!! I don't know what kind of business your running here but You can bring it up with my forementioned attorney. I'm long Physical Gold. Calls GLD. Short SPY and IWM and yes. I do have puts on the Q's So please stop buying that shit.

Is the award guy trying to tell us to buy GLD?
It literally was the one thing I bought so few of. Stangles out the ass on QQQ, 5 BLK 610 puts, cal spreads GLD/PAAS and only 2 3/31 CoINeRs oh well.. I didn't play FOMC today
bought some GLD calls, feel like a proper looney tune
yeah, im a fan. i have a gold $50 eagle and a good amount of silver (like 150ish ounces) ​ i wonder if i can have the guy keep 75% of 401k future contributions (or even existing rollover were doing with new company) to target date and 25% at GLD spyder or one of the ones i referenced
One should not own too many AU. GLD is a good one.
https://youtu.be/YVHY9nIPo6s be me swinging GLD puts overnight up 75%.
GLD bulls gonna get rugged. Crazy how much people are still betting on a grind higher after the 10% gamma squeeze we got. 1920 retest
from another thread: ​ >Gold/crypto are at the very least inflation hedges worth considering. It is true that there is little correlation between gold price appreciation and various historical inflation crises, what seems more apparent are short-term volatility spikes in gold around periods of uncertainty and chaos. Look at option premiums on GLD in the past week or two, or around the period last year when Russia commenced its invasion of Ukraine. For several months in 1980, during a period of economic and geopolitical instability, gold was up about 500% against its price a few years earlier before settling back down. A well-designed gold hedge would probably mean carrying a small position of cheap OTM calls on GLD and selling during short-term periods where gold volatility is temporarily elevated. Bitcoin seems to be experiencing a similar volatility rally right now, but is admittedly a far less promising hedge since it is less of a known quantity and its price seems to be correlated with accommodative monetary policies.
lmao do you pick cherries for a living you hack??? perhaps, the fed can be wrong sometimes. and perhaps they can also change their policy significantly despite previous statements. for example, when they chose to consider 2021 inflation transitory and not hike until march of 2022. The case for the Fed tolerating elevated inflation in the medium-term is plausible: it has become and implicit third mandate in the Fed's mission to ensure the stability of financial markets, and if they're confident inflation won't spiral into double digits albeit persist at an elevated level but they're NOT confident the banking crisis won't become system-threatening, they might be willing to shirk off the inflation-fighting duties for several quarters especially if they can come up with some just-so story. ​ focusing on fixed income losses between march 2021 and march 2022 is brazenly dishonest. march 2022 is when the federal reserve began hiking interest rates, and TLT is down \~33% since december 2021, when the market began suspecting these hikes were coming. From peak to trough it was down 40%. The investors best positioned to benefit from this, like me, were holding short positions against fixed income before december 2021. It's extremely uncharitable to interpret "2021-22" as "march 2021 to march 2022". ​ Gold/crypto are at the very least inflation hedges worth considering. It is true that there is little correlation between gold price appreciation and various historical inflation crises, what seems more apparent are short-term volatility spikes in gold around periods of uncertainty and chaos.

I employ only several strategies: cash secured bull put spreads (super conservative, more conservative than owning stock outright), covered calls, and iron condors (bull put spreads with bear call spreads). The latter I ONLY do with SPY/QQQ/GLD. I understand other strategies (strangles/straddles, long combos, calendar spreads etc) but it’s best to keep it simple. The underlying is usually SPY or QQQ or “safe” stocks that I’ve owned many times over in the past; that I understand the business, and I feel comfortable owning. Ive been burned many times in the past chasing high IV stocks. Buying puts is as a hedge usually. Yes, you can buy a put (or do a bear put spread) and hope for the stock to drop but in my view, that is directional trading and risky (you can still lose your premium). Yes you can buy OTM puts and hope for that black swan event but that is rare. However, what I do is do a bull put spread (sell a put, buy a lower SP put). If the stock takes off, I buy back my shorted put for cheap, take most of my profits (90% is where I set my profit taking at), but most importantly take the risk off the table, and leave the lower SP put open (it’s usually not worth it to close it for a few bucks or less). Sometimes, the stock then nose dives (had this happen a couple times in the last couple months with TSLA and WFC) and your long put becomes ITM and makes you money.
Short trade getting less and less crowded. As it stands now no way I’m short but I might have to cover my GLD puts eod if this continues
I would trade SPY, QQQ and GLD to start. These three ETFs have the highest options volume and liquidity. Trading options is different from stocks. Most stocks traded publicly have decent volume and tight bid ask spreads. Options are different. Even a large cap stock like AMGN for example may have very low liquidity and wide bid ask spreads. Volume and liquidity are very important in options trading.
You should have sold when you see GLD IV rank approaching 100% which indicates everyone is panic buying calls
Thinking I missed the boat on GLD puts
Is there an easier play than GLD puts?
Anyone here watching or in GLD puts?
Yep exactly. And the underlying is important. I only chase high IV around earnings on good stocks that I’ve owned in the past or on SPY or QQQ or GLD. I’ve been burned in the past chasing high IV on risky stocks. I lost 50% on SI and some EV stocks. And the stocks and ETFs can still drop and depending on what I think I still might have to take a loss (by selling a close to the money CC) but this definitely reduces risk while also increasing your returns. I’m more than happy with a 20-40% annualized return. The other thing you could do is buy the stock and sell an ITM CC. This is equivalent to selling a CSP but the risk is reduced further. I did this recently with SPY. Bought 700 shares at 403.5 and sold 7 calls with two weeks to expiration at 400. Brought my cost basis all the way down to 395. I’m still doing CC with SP of 400 but my cost basis is now down to 390. If it hits 400 I make my max profit which will be equivalent to about 28% annualized. No I’m not doubling my money every month but this strategy is scaleable and replicable and reduces risk while maximizing returns.
cool, nice analysis i own a portion of PHYS and i'm not interested in trading it around. bullish on it will add if it reaches the lower range you mention! have no idea who is listening to us lol but i would whole heartedly recommend PHYS over GLD in this environment. counter party risks rearing their heads and all...
Gold futures broke $2k this morning at Europe market opening. Gold will move higher as long as the US 10 yr moves lower. A move back above $2k and taking out ATH's will create huge tailwinds and then Gold is off to the races. A big reversal in US 10 yr rates will see Gold move lower and retest $1880. I would recommend people interested in Gold to buy $PHYS or $GLD over the $GDX stocks. I, of course, am a gambler so I bought quite a bit of $GOLD and $AG this last month.
GLD 178 Eow and I’ll make some tendies
Spy up, GLD up, Bonds up this month 
Long GLD is my bear position, and it's working beautifully. Puts suck ass these days.
Took a small position in some GLD bi weeklies here. Gamma squeezes can’t last forever not expecting a major pull back but 3-4% by end of next week seems possible. People way too defensive rn into fomc
People really betting on GLD to get to 190-200. Will it happen???
Yo young master u/claytondpark ik u stopped trading gold a whole back but it’s been gamma squeezing for a week. U watching GLD puts?
Lots of tourists in GLD, be careful
Anyone have thoughts on PDD or GLD here?

GLD EoY exp. I don't think people are bullish enough on gold yet
It is when you have calls on GLD
Don’t need to see where the GLD leaps I sold three weeks ago are priced today and in the future. Will make me sick
Yeah, I have been wheeling GLD but it ran away from me last Friday.
For those investing in gold via etfs like GLD, just keep in back of your mind that if ish hits the fan, GLD might not actually have gold. Remember how crude futures went negative in the perfect storm of events and it was because funds were messing with USO - and now USO has to invest in like the first 6 months as opposed to first 2 months. If gold does somethin crazy, I could see shenanigans occur in this market too if suddenly everyone calls their gold (like depositors calling thier cash). But it woudl have to be something really crazy like a perfect storm of everything, but still something to keep in mind.
Kinda. I’ve got calls on GLD and SLV
GDX, GOLD, GLD. calls on watchlist standing by
I sold my GLD on Friday because of how overbought it is. Now it’ll be even more overbought next week. Oh well, at least I made some money I guess.
Need $GLD to dip on Monday so I can buy more
YES YES YES! TA on long time frames for commodities is valuable. I’m accumulating GLD, JNUG, SLV LEAP calls here
Hmmm, ok. The parabolic moves are interesting, they go up and down with huge price movements, it looks like an asset or stock with less volume or liquidity like an obscure stock or a meme stock but not a GLD or SPY or larger stock like AAPL.
Yes, you will be forced to buy GLD if you want to make any money on wallstreetbets.
Am I really going to be forced to buy GLD 
Leprechaun’s love GLD! Happy St Patrick’s Day
Calls on GLD and SLV!
GLD 10 pts away from 5yr high...... REEEEEEEEEEE
Wrong morning to cash out my GLD calls and buy SPY calls. Pain…

GLD puts for next week because who would do that .
Physical gold is not. Your GLD or whatever is closer to meme stock status, though.
GLD is the only logical move at this point

Gonna give swing trading a try. Entered GLD puts, BITO puts, SPY calls. Holding for a week or two max.
NVDA, GLD, SPY, SCHD [are all trending socially influenced tickers](https://swaggystocks.com/dashboard/stocks/market-sentiment). anyone buying these?
It’s been a while since SLV and GLD were all the rage on WSB.
GLD is a futures ETF. Miners are selling for one to lock in this good price for them. And if you believe the tin hat brigade JPM is selling to manipulate the price.
This AH and PM only market is fucking boring. Time to just sleep until FOMC meeting when Jerome Powell doesn’t announce the pivot, but chooses not to raise rates, thus leading into stagflation in the long term. GLD, TTT Puts, and shorting anything homebuilder.
GLD calls GS puts
zoomer-doomer portfolio of QQQ|GLD is the way
Cashed out some of the short term gld calls around noon but still have all 50 4/21 GLD C $180 contracts and 18 of the original 30 3/31 GLD C $178 contracts. Picked up a few SPY 2 dte FD calls today but fully expect that could be a losing trade. Lower bond yields should be good for equities but recession/banking fears could outweigh this.
Bought GLD 
Thank you for the Gold award! Much better than buying GLD or physical boomer gold imo 🥇
