Bought 2 SLV 70p an 2 SLV 65p an one IWM 260p Turned my last 200 bucks into 1k. If this holds tomorrow maybe 2-3k then I'll wait for the next obvious play and full port w that powder.
that asshole could've bought a FD on IWM and instead he chose the POS that is AMZN
Calls for IWM? I don’t have anything in play I’m going to go based off my RSI off open market & EMA & VWAP
IWM has CPI tomorrow at 8:30am in Texas time, so be ready this is free game use your VWAP, EMA & RSI to tell what the trend is going to be tomorrow it’ll go straight up or down!!!

Hi Dan and Matt, you guys are my heros. Let me nag you with 2 questions: 1. I am observing a historic parabolic expansion in Staples (XLP) reaching a 96 RSI, while small caps (IWM) are fracturing. In your experience as market makers, when 'Safety Sectors' reach this level of over-travel while the broad indices lose their GEX floor, does this typically signal the 'final flush' of institutional collateral? Does the rotation out of XLP typically serve as the final fuel for the downward tunneling in the indices? 2. Given that IWM liquidity is significantly thinner than the SPX/SPY, how do dealers manage a 'Short Gamma Deep-End' scenario? Specifically, when price crosses below the Zero-Gamma flip in IWM, is there a mechanical point where your hedging velocity (∂tΔ) becomes non-linear because you’ve exhausted the available RTY (Russell 2000 Futures) liquidity? Can I ask 2 more questions?
I was up ~50% on IWM weeklies (267c) that I bought at bottom today. I decided to let it ride for tomorrow. if your puts pay off then you can thank me 😮💨
I have a couple others open, if it helps you here you go IWM March short/April long (monthlies) 235 put strike 265 call strike Net cost basis 2.62 opened position 12/15/25 , current 3.75 up 42% DIA March/April 480/505 Basis 5.02 opened 1/22/26 current 5.70 up 13% QQQ March monthly/march31st weekly 600/630 Basis 3.00 opened 1/22/26 current 3.14 up 6% SPX May/June monthly 6700/7150 Basis 85.19 (just opened) 2/10/26 current 80.30 down 6%, typical that a fresh position doesn't move in your favor right away.
IWM is going straight to hell along with my calls
Buying IWM calls on the bet CPI is negative
Kinda a freak the fuck out and sell everything look to the market. Crapto, shiny rocks, QQQ and IWM are eating a bag of dicks. Bonds up, Yen and Swiss Franc up.
I should have held my IWM puts a hair longer
Missed on $230k profit for selling my IWM 900 put contracts for $0.44 that are now at $3.2 each and I bought them for $0.32
Where's the guy who posted that thesis on IWM puts? That guy helped me get free lunch and a tank of gas in my truck today!
Why the fuck is my port down 10% when BTC QQQ SPY GLD SLV IWM etc are all down only 1-2%???
Sold 900 IWM puts for 0.44 each, they are now $2 each, missed on $140k in one hour 🥲
Fuck me. I paper handed those IWM puts
Any chance IWM drills to the earth's core? Asking for a friend.
Give me IWM $270 today and I swear to you, Jesus, I will never trade options again.
Do you have anything your looking at for tomorrow on IWM?
He got out when IWM was between 262 and 263.
Do we think the IWM puts dude got out on the -.30% dump this morning or is holding?
Thanks u/alfrescodog I doubled my smallstreet bet with IWM puts
u/AlfrescoDog \- thanks for the heads up. Sold the calls this morning when we topped, then sold my 2/13 puts when IWM was down 1.5%... made my week.
100% on IWM puts in 5 minutes
Damn, just looked a few minutes ago at YTD numbers and QQQ is down 1.5% SPY is down 1% and DIA is up 4% and IWM up 6.5% It would appear the tech rally is dead.
what have you guys done to my boy IWM
Lol IWM is dropping right now. Maybe not an entire loss
Violent IWM reversal... There's not a payrolls number in the world that would be bullish for small caps. Too high? Rate hikes, sell smalls. Too low? Economy falling apart, sell smalls. Goldilocks print? Sell smalls anyway.
Put/call ratio on IWM yesterday was 2.63, wouldn’t be surprised if we see a short squeeze
20k puts sitting at 262 for IWM. Woof
lol all that talk of abysmal numbers getting released this morning was just a fake out. I wonder how IWM puts guy is doing
Revisions bro. They are fake bro. Short IWM we will be rich bro…
andddd IWM is booming rn
Whoever told me to short IWM instead of QQQ yesterday your moms a hoe.
Might as well document this for transparency, for better or worse. These were the **prices for each contract at the time my post was published**. IWM Feb 11 262 Put: $0.18 IWM Feb 13 259 Put: $0.31 IWM Feb 13 256 Put: $0.17 TGT Feb 13 108 Put: $0.25 SBUX Feb 13 94 Put: $0.13 PNC Feb 13 227.5 Put: $0.20 USB Feb 13 57 Put: $0.05 XLI Feb 13 167 Put: $0.11 Look at the expiration dates. From the start, this is a very short-term play.
My IWM puts are alreafy fingering me post market…
And OP bought puts on IWM, the most obvious thing to benefit from more rate cuts.
Following the IWM put guy with short dated puts
I hope you top 1% commentors are right. Im full ported IWM, walmart, soxl puts
IWM 60 cent bounce right after close for no reason. Very cool very legal. Definetly not a low volume push.
LMAO IWM 40 cent bounce instantly after close.
Why IWM? They're the most interest rate sensitive.
It's not according to me. I included the actual preliminary benchmark revision link. Check IWM, which is what I opened Puts on.
I’m shorting ford and IWM
QQQ. Don't try IWM or TSLA
If you were full porting puts right now what would you go with? IWM QQQ SPY or an individual?
Well, I just shared one. Check the time when I posted, and check IWM's chart.
fuck it why not i threw a 50cad on IWM 1dte 262 put
If you were full porting puts right now what would you go with? IWM QQQ SPY or an individual?
Have you opened the IWM chart since I posted this? Check the times. I'm already green.
So we get an actual DD to buy Puts? Calls it is. i would choose Indexes and ETFs who are doing well. IWM Calls it is in my opinion xD
Everyone knows this already. This is just a long winded AI written way of saying 'I'm a regard buying puts on the jobs revision data". Guess how many rate cuts are priced in during 2026. Only two. 25 bos cuts. Bad (even worse) jobs numbers means more cuts, especially since people are not appreciating just how dovish Warsh is gonna be. They will see the report, think more cuts, think small caps could really use lower cost of capital, and buy up IWM. But I'm just a regard like you and it could probably go either way.
IWM primed for a massive dump when CPI comes in red hot
Fuck me, sold my IWM calls at a 30% loss instead of 100% profit
The calls and puts in my watchlist (IWM) are down 50% . This market can smd
Felt good right at open but now how cooked are my IWM 255p 2/13 contracts
Not one tech company had bad earnings. Essentially all beat. The capex threw people off and many think tech is at the top. People are cycling out of US and tech. Which is very much why SPY is flat while SCHD, IWM, DIA, Canada, Asia and etc are way up. Look around.
Literally this. Only trade QQQ SPY IWM
IWM ones are gonna hit my port like crack I can't even lie
Don't know what to tell you. The writing is on the wall I'm correct. Yes there is cycle out of some tech, but again, spy is flat despite this. Meanwhile IWM and SCHD are way up. Its clearly just a cycle out of high risk AI because of the FUD, despite huge capex. Look at the bandwidth bottleneck trades. They are all back to their recent highs. I will be buying any dips.
I am with you with my 25 $IWM puts
IWM not confirming this last push higher in the large caps... be careful here
Thinking about hedging my portfolio with April IWM puts. Anyone have thoughts on this ? 🤔
Short QQQ or IWM? Hard to decide
Per my trading rules, I bought 30/90 DTE SPY & WIM long puts in early Jan 2026. I had 45 contracts of different SPY strikes going into the unexpected downmove. At the lowest levels, the IWM was up $2.5K and SPY was up $4K. This is a lesson to all that nobody should trade without some protection/hedge in place.
You're making my head hurt for 5 reasons. One. Makes no sense that every AI company popped 10% because of NVDA shorts. Two. No one smart is shorting NVDA. Three. The market is much more than PLTR and NVDA. Four. The drop was clearly people cycling out of the AI trade. SCHD and IWM and DOW are all steadily climbing but you didn't notice that. Five. Puts on PLTR is a bet against this administration. You have chosen poorly. The likelihood it climbs is much higher than it drops. You're cooked. Enjoy your last week with money.
What was the profit on the IWM puts?
Do the following: Go to Google finance. Pull up SPY. Look at the 1 year and 5 year. Note over and over and over again the frequency of quick dips and rebounds. Yes, sharp volatility like this proceeds major dumps, but absent major macro I'm not sure what it could be. I'm deleveraged and sitting on 20% cash in case. My opinion is this is a cycle out of industries. Tech is hot. Mag 7 was hot. People are looking for value. SCHD is up. IWM is up. I'm bullish on AI so I'm staying in growth and data center supply chain for now. MAG7 have had all the time in the world to rethink capex. Im staying in.
And I mean the candle on SPY, QQQ and IWM
Dude I'm thinking about trading even with NDX slopping down, I'm sure we'll find plenty of setups in the volume rotation into AI sector, you can see IWM and SPY doing well while NDX ranged the past months... Could be wasted time not to trade right now just because the QQQ are under the 10 and 20. Thoughts? Also it's funny seeing all the retards shitting on technicals. It's actually nice how it keeps the retards away from what works lol
I think a simpler way of putting it is that there’s a rotation out of tech into other sectors that either got hit hard by tariff fears or are positioned to do well whether or not tech booms. The fact that qqq couldn’t hit its previous ath before collapsing should be a giveaway. It would take all the software companies coming back and/or the mag 7 that are spending big for it to just come back to where it was a week ago. I think it’s safer to go long IWM and SPY but yes be cautious about QQQ popping off again.
IWM up 3.5% on below average volume what a fucking joke
Dang. IWM really went hard today. Up 3.5% is no joke. Not sure what that means for bears.
Bought IWM puts o7 I hate money
I need to resist the urge to buy these individual tech sell offs. Safer with QQQ or probably IWM.
IWM - the broadening - is upon us
IWM no way you gonna keep pumping today. I am buying some puts
Damn IWM, save some ass for the rest of us
yall have no IWM exposure and it shows
IWM thinks everything is fine.
