IWM

Rare-ish_Birb

MSFT 500c and IWM 233p for NVDA earnings.

Different_Ad7655

It's interesting how more than a week ago IWM was suggesting this decline and made the death cross. It's always been a pretty good barometer of what's ahead. Now maybe? the flush to the 200 for support?

Rare-ish_Birb

IWM 233p 11/28. Even if NVDA beats, all those shtty ai small caps without revenue will drop further.

Upbeat_Help_7924

probably would’ve been better spent on 10 OTM IWM puts for like $0.04 each, also a gamble, but better than 220 NVDA pie in the sky money donation lol

Asid_Phreak

Same here 5x returns on the whole BYND 🚀 run, lol. Cashing out my IWM tomorrow. PLUG 🔌 is the next victim 300 contracts 11/21. Not advice, just my own 🍀.

EvolvingDior

BTC was green today. The market was not. (Well, IWM was, but that doesn't really count.)

DarkR124

Made $1100 inversing myself on IWM. Good enough for me. Still down bigly since mid October.

Samjabr

If NVDA doesn’t do enough and sells off after earnings, no way big $ will let the market free-fall Nvda puts and IWM calls?

Fineous40

You know how I know this isn’t the start of a crash? Because during a crash there is no rotation into IWM.

pmotiveforce

Joke's on you, I have calls for SPY tomorrow. I do have IWM puts for next week but those are definitely not gonna be fucked. They will be gently caressed.

DarkR124

Inversed myself on IWM and made $1100. First good gain I’ve had this month lmao. I’m out for the day.

Thisispaartaaa

IWM is up .86%...thinking quite a few folks in here own some small caps

EvolvingDior

!p IWM

frank_uptrendinsight

The question is whether it has found a bottom and is oversold or whether the market decides to sell off tomorrow on NVDA earnings and BTC follows it down. Would love to see some support here as BTC seems to be moving in line with the SPY/IWM and one pulls the other along.

pmotiveforce

LOL IWM being cute. Small cap stocks are fucked, definitely time to buy puts.

sloanemonroe

IWM which is full of the least profitable companies in the world is up. BUY BUY BUY!!!

Mordrim

I think we are due for a bounce. SPXEW and IWM are flat today. However, any bounce should probably be taken as an opportunity to reduce risk.

jayxmor

When will IWM actually grow a pair of fucking balls?

brucekeller

Ugh IV crush sucks. Catch a .7% swing on 11/19 IWM calls and they are the same price lol.

Cant_Turn_Right

Another 1% drop in IWM would take it to 150 day EMA so that might be a good buying point when all indices hit support.

I_am_Nerman

SPY 657 is going to be strong support going back to mid-October. I don't see it breaking today. I'm surprised IWM is holding up better than I thought it would.

Hopeful-Fish-372

i got in on the IWM 234 calls at .3 and closed for .6 within 5-10 minutes. 93% return, in and out.

Altruistic_Court5981

For some obscure reason $IWM is deciding to hold on better than $SPY when I have puts on it

No-Improvement3164

I say raise rates. Even at these levels HYSA outperforming RSP SCHD IWM.

DarkR124

Fuck it. Ima start doing 0dtes on IWM to feel something.

I_am_Nerman

I'm jacked to the tits in SPY and IWM puts. The rest is cash. I got bearcurious and went all in.

Wowmuchrya

The indicator for risk on investment is IWM or Bitcoin. Currently both are sliding. Also there's heavy gamma exposure favoring puts for the next month.

MerryRunaround

IWM is down 4.3% in the past month. Happens all the time. Wtf are you looking at?

95Daphne

Better chance of it than many seem to be thinking imo. Trump isn't undefeated at SCOTUS. I don't think it really matters though unless markets really get bloody first though. IWM has already failed in somewhat similar fashion to late 2021...think the damage has probably been done.

PutParadise

Do you have the math to back up that .8 correlation? I honestly don't know the exact number, but intuitively I think it's much lower. The best free calculator I could find when I did some research a while back was only allowing me to do 4 underlyings. I concur that the 4 major ETFs (QQQ, SPY, IWM, DIA) are about a .8 correlation, but that's why I add in the inversely or uncorrelated names like IBIT, GLD, USO, IYR, TLT, and VIX. If you include the VIX, then 6 of the 13 are not even stock based. I trade three commodities (Bitcoin, Gold, Oil), which do have single asset risks, but they provide diversification from your stock ETFs. These commodities are largely uncorrelated from each other and from stocks. Also, I trade three additional alternative asset classes (Bonds, Real Estate and Volatility) TLT, IYR and VIX. TLT and VIX provide negative correlation diversification, and IYR (Real Estate ETF) provides protection as well.

In 3 months IWM will be negative on the 5yr chart. Kinda hilarious. In other news, ARK will never hit ATHs again.

BTC and IWM rolling over can’t be a good sign can it?

Inittowinit1104

I like Qqq But they are so unforgiving if you’re wrong. Spy is 19% fang. That being said I arb qqq vs IWM or even the Dow. Endless possibilities. But nothing is as tight and liquid as spy’s. There isn’t a day I don’t trade it. It’s my go to. As with most I think.

daviddjg0033

At the beginning of the year IWM looked like a five year cup and handle. I thought small caps would outperform but megacap tech had great earnings

nabicanklez

you sound like me, only i’ve bag-held far beyond what you could probably stomach. just one out of too many available examples, is when I got 13 lottos for $7 a piece on IWM. Total profit netted around $975 during the peak near close. One twitter-induced IV crush later, and my greed turned that 1k into $90 total profit 🙃 i really needed that money too, believe it or not LOL

UnfazedBrownie

Early on I wasn’t that disciplined and regularly got crushed with IV, sans getting a few lucky breaks here and there. But I’ve been trading mostly 0DTEs for IWM, SPY, and QQQ (this is less regular). IWM has what I believe a lot of garbage companies in it, but it does have large intraday price swings. I would say I’m addicted to IWM and have routinely been trading a few hundred contracts on a daily basis. I get burned occasionally with a bad entry or not employing a SL, but overall I’ve been happy with it.

jasperCrow

I think puts on IWM may be the play. Especially is rates don’t change next month.

Spoonie_21

GOOGL and IWM have been good to me recently.

bbbbombbbb

yesterday: it's selling off a lot, no way it doesn't bounce. CALLS *immediately sold another 3 dollars down and stayed down* today: holy shit no way this pump isn't a trap. PUTS *mins later IWM bounces 2 dollars* I hate this superpower

Minimum_Ordinary_243

So is IWM gonna V up or just eat shit at this point. Idk what to think anymore. What is this random Friday pumping, starting to realize these movements are meaningless and can either just knife up knife down or stay flat another 10 years Just a rhetorical question, not like anyone in here will know. Feeling giga tarded right now and like all this is, is just more complicated gambling with self delusion and charts with lines and drawings.

itsnotshade

IWM staging a resistance. Please lord recover to my entry point at least.

LaconicB

What excellent timing to ask! With 0dte(QQQ,SPY,IWM), I get instant fills at the price expected when using Webull with market orders to get in and out fast. Also, my stop losses on the bracket don’t get triggered like TOS filling my stop when the bid never reached my stop limit, they do this constantly when the bid is above my stop. With TOS, the same trades take longer to execute and have horrible fills. The market moves fast and market orders are needed in this situation, Webull fills them 100x better while TOS guarantees a horrible fill and a profitable trade turning negative. I’ve had market orders take over 5 seconds to fill multiple times, causing huge losses from the price the trade was initiated at. There’s way too much volume on 0dte for this to happen, while also seeing my order get filled with Webull while TOS is not doing anything. One of the craziest situations was watching a lot of profit disappear in the last 30 mins with a market order getting filled over $65 less, while watching others get filled at the NBBO that kept climbing. My TOS fills with everything else has become worse the past two weeks, I can’t get better fills than Webull which is not normal. TOS always gave me better fills for everything that wasn’t 0dte. Lately, TOS will not accept my limit orders at any price within the NBBO and forced me to use market orders, resulting in horrible fills that often go outside the NBBO. I have limit buy orders at the ask that won’t get filled while the ask goes down, and the same opposite with sells at the bid that don’t get filled even when the bid keeps raising and my order is much less than the bid. I’ve been recording my trading sessions to file a report and reduced trading by over 95% lately. I would normally recommend TOS but not anymore. If you are not experiencing this, then TOS is better than Webull outside of 0dte. I also don’t have a problem with shares being filled, only options.  

Upbeat_Help_7924

I slammed buy on OTM QQQ and IWM near the close yesterday because I am a retard who hates money.

Mikiri_2077

IWM just lost it SPY will be next. We going below 200 ema very soon

I'm gonna short IWM

pmotiveforce

Look, I'm mostly in metals right now. A few small puts on IWM and SPY but it's noise, so I don't really have a dog in this fight tomorrow. That said, I hope we have a biblical fucking collapse tomorrow and most of you dumb fucks lose your asses. Just retard after retard pretending like this signing is gonna muh pump the market, it's sickening.

Money flow into other sector. Mag 7 down, RSP up, IWM slight down.

Inittowinit1104

With eco Friday that theta will kill you. Bought Monday qqq puts and IWM at the open today.

No inflation or jobs data = no inflation or job losses. All in IWM calls now.

tempuslabilis

Before 2008 people saw their houses double in value and then double two more times. I guess some people thought "I guess this is supposed to happen to me" but most people knew it wasn't sustainable. The average person where I lived (South Florida) did know they were lending to people with no income, and people did talk about it. Now check the daily chart of IWM around that time and you might notice 19September2008. At one point small caps were up 19% from the previous day's high. If you correctly identified the coming catastrophe you still had to watch all your puts go to $0.05 before being proven right in the 2 months that followed.

Inittowinit1104

Buying Nvdia with a IWM hedge. Nvdia very much do underperformed to the upside as small caps did nothing. Tells me Nvdia should look to record to 199$ by Thursday even with weak mkt and iwm is looking for any excuse to dump.

Rare-ish_Birb

IWM 245p p p printing 🥳🥳🥳

Icy-Profession-6068

But on another note, selling iron flys on IWM or SPY, 4-2 hours before closing isn’t a bad idea if you’re not expecting a move. The ATM calls still have enough value and 2 strikes out in both direction for insurance are roughly 10-15% of the value of your short call+put position. Closing it approx 30 mins. But take this with a grain of salt- I’m an 18yo economics student who just got into this stuff lol

cresstheory2016

IWM only prints AFTER I sell my calls. It will never be great as long as I hold.

Mihermano2002

IWM it’s time

IWM I know you want 246 today!!

I will say this to all bears. If the stock market somehow ends up positive today abandon all hope of shorting until spy 720 IWM 270 qqq 650

BaxterrStockman

Bye IWM 👋

angrybubblez

Yeah my IWM puts and banbet are done. Was expecting at 1% drop last night.

HoosierGuy73

Are you still doing this? I do 1DTE QQQ, SPY, & IWM. I buy long LEAPS 15-18 months out and sell debit spreads on them. Been killing it!! If the strike gets breached, I roll up and out enough to break even or a credit. The long calls are making money in this scenario. Roll those out when enough profit to buy another LEAPS call to add to the collection. If market goes down, the sport calls make money.

Good idea. I was like you but now I’ll pick 3 names , tops and go long 2 short 1 (nvda, mrvl, DUOL last week for example - and open a qqq/spy or outright IWM PUT and just rotate. Has really helped lower the noise. When things go crazy I feel in control and more importantly every night I go to sleep not caring if we are up 1000 or down 1000 the next day. As long as it’s not unchanged I’m normally good. Cheers 🍻

Dedicated index guys will load up on IWM. It’s below all time highs and not up half as much as qqq. Some funds FORCE managers to be vested. It’s kinda crazy. 🤪

Inittowinit1104

Leaps at all time highs ? I would think a long straddle 7 months out w work better. Next year early after hopefully fed cuts in December it looks very dangerous. The year will start with a ton of doubts and hedgies underperformed 2025. They def will not accept losses early on and be aggressive selling/hedging. The January effect only really applies to small caps also. The Tax-loss selling in December often pushes down high-volatility names, so that being said a LEAP is probably best made mid January not now. I would buy Feb IWM/spy combo calls with a qqq out hedge and rerack those leaps after that for dec1 2026- but wtf do I know. 2-4dte is my sauce.

UnfazedBrownie

I do this most days when I can a livestream or app running in the background. You need to watch the price and understand your exit. Otherwise you’ll fall victim to theta, a swing in the other direction, or end up with worthless options. IWM seems to have a lot of price swings as does QQQ. There are some days where I have to wait hours because I didn’t catch a price swing. I’ve lost big and have gained well. Always practice good risk management or you can seriously blow your account.

Alienware15rr3

Yeah that's the reason I am in Mid Caps IWS, small caps IWM and VEU as part of the 50% equities, if the AI bubble pops won't be hit as hard, but the international run due to dollar drop also has me thinking twice about being heavy international, if AI bubble pops that could be a flush from international as people run to value and bonds, lots of ifs and buts, can't wait to see how it plays out. All I know is whoever is 100% sp100 has some thick skin, and you are definitely not so have some good hedges for various scenarios.

ConchFritter33040

Yes, luck/lottery. I have a great example from yesterday. I am a member of a trading community (chill people, I am not here to push anything nor will I even say the name). We were watching IWM on the chart and it was looking like it was going to breakout. At 2:00, the 241 call was just OTM and the ask was 0.04. The owner of the discord was ready to buy 1500 contracts (would have cost him $6,000). I told him not to because we only had 1.5 hrs left to trade, theta was kicking in, and the options were expiring. He didn’t buy, but we kept watching. The 241 calls that were 0.04 at 2:00 went all the way to 0.78 at 3:00. Had he bought, his $6,000 would have turned into $102,000. That is a 17X. This is a one in a million chance. Totally not reproducible. Complete, pure luck.

2min2late

20x can happen in weeks, days if you get lucky, but 5x or 10x can happen with IWM, often
