I heard if IWM gets to 280 then the subsequent V will be monstrous. So why don't we stop creeping along at ATH and help a 🐻 out?
Please IWM, pump big time and I promise I will never buy IWM calls again.
I need IWM at $289 or higher. Thank you for your matter to this attention.
My IWM $289 calls are not feeling well. Thank you for your matter to this attention.
Actually think I'll get IWM 0dtes soon.
Picked up some IWM puts that are up nicely. I'm sure to paperhand them.
MOOOOAAAR! 🩸🩸🩸 Seriously I'm needing like a 2% down day on IWM. 🙃
Market forgot about 🛢 but 🛢 never forgot about Market. 🐻 Also grabbing OTM IWM Calls tomorrow on the probable V by 10:30 ET.
I actually agree with some more testing as well as using CLAUD for some back testing and research. What I find is using QQQ, SPY, and IWM the spreads between are .1 -.2 which is not enough to screw me over. I also check the OI to make sure that there are enough active contracts as well. I mostly look for strikes with GAMMA .4 or higher and OI above 1500. Which reduces the amount of fuck that can hit me. Also when entering an option I’ll typically look for a tight 40-50 cents above ema. I use the other instruments as confirmation as well.
Buying IWM CUS IM RETARDED
IWM with 13 million daily volume, complete joke it’s even green. I’m convinced at this point with the pathetic volume the last 2 months retail is just running this shit up and whales are letting them.
IWM consolidating bear flag + micro ascending wedge. Going down soon maybe even sour hour imro.
I'm going to need IWM to give up Hope a little faster. TYFYATTM Also, when exactly is 🥭 going to put 🇺🇸 first?
Head and Shoulders on IWM let's podrace baby!!!
Did IWM discover 🛢? Wtf is it doing.
Hoping this last round of disappointment finally anchors IWM closer to reality and disconnects from SPY and QQQ.
i’m running 70% VOO, 15% IWM, 15% VXUS. Would you cut any of these to squeeze a little SCHD position?
IWM might be getting ready for another leg down.
IWM puts for the win
Anyone else watching the rate cuts ripple through small caps? IWM's been on a tear but P/E ratios are getting stretched. Tbh, I'm trimming exposure into strength here. What's everyone else doing with their mid-cap allocations?
I just need IWM to pump 5% by EOW or go down 10% by June 12. Ideally both.
Sitting on cash is literally getting cucked by the Fed and the government. The guy enjoying the fight while smoking weed is VOO/QQQ/IWM/VT & MAG8.
For me it ruined the trust and integrity of NASDAQ. I liquidated. I also dumped IWM, same reason. I’m in funds not impacted and watching S&P closely. The details matter and NASDAQ is the worst offender compared to S&P(again, still under consideration). And not about 1 stock either.
With 0DTE especially, you need to set your TP once your order is filled. Be reasonable. For examples, IWM opened high and it’s cooling so you get some puts that are OTM by like $3-4. Don’t get greedy thinking that $.30-$.40 contract will actually double because there’s a very good change theta will start to rapidly eat in and you’ll be left with some worthless contracts at the end of the day. How far OTM makes a big difference.
Any ETFs options trading is profitable like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc. Starting with 0DTE, it will burn you. You can check my posts and comments on the subreddit, I am now posting my entries and exits. I am doing one option trade a day, 2-5 times a week. * If you start with 0DTE, it will burn you. Trade with non 0DTE with your strategy until you get profitable. * I switched with 0DTE this year with my same strategy as I wanted to grow my account faster and restarted with a $300 account to $60,000 in 6 months. Some may find it too aggressive * With 0DTE or with any options, you need to get **in and out in a few minutes and take your profit.**
I belive something "broke" in early may and citadel, Jane street or Susquehanna are fuked somehow, possibly on scandisk or futures, and these legacy beaten down stocks are being pumped to fleece retail. Record amounts of puts market wide have been bought since April all while calls keep going up. Definitely not retail selling calls and buying puts on SPY and IWM.
Wow, 4 years ago... Well, I still try for first OTM, but with how IWM and PLTR have gone to Jupiter, I now take the farthest out date, and a strike price that give me credit. Selling time to get money. Just wing'd it also works, never know when the next tax liberation day will crash the market and get that ITM -> OTM or the next crazy disease that will impact everyone.
It's based on IMW following a Rising Wedge since March 31st. I'm predicting the wedge may break to the bottom due to complete Buyer exhaustion around IWM $309 and Friday, July 17th.
🐻 strology: IWM will go Red Monday and Tuesday with a slight pop Wedenesday before nearing 285 EOW. Green will resume all the way to a tease of 298 by the following week. Let's see what happens!
That's it, IWM, give up hope. Embrace the dread of selling at a loss just to fill up the gas tank. You were never special to begin with like SPY or QQQ and you'll return to a valuation that reflects that well before they do. 😈
Micro ascending wedge triggered the completion of the Right Shoulder on IWM. Could go down to $288.40 but don't see it going further because of the previous rally level and 🥭 magically signing the deal.
Generational wealth incoming on IWM puts.
IWM finally woke up from it's slumber.
Could really use a peace deal rumor (again) to save my IWM calls
IWM, either pump to high heaven, or drill to the Earth's core.
Oh know IWM is going down! MMs are about to take all $11.00 of my 🥭 tweet yolo Call. 😱
IWM has been something between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.
Spy will follow suit soon enough today, not even a ber and not in puts but the pump was held up on sticks and stones this time lowk. (spy wont dump as hard as IWM obv. i mean a daily correction)
I have only made some pocket change thus far. Now have some IWM and SPY calls, but I know I'll overtrade today and give up my pocket change and some lint with it.
Very cool IWM. You do you bud.
IWM, but focus on the tech focused small caps there's a couple ETFs with good volume
The plan for tomorrow? Calls on SPY, puts on IWM. The most regarded of hedges. Let's see how this plays out.
IWM intraday RSI topping and MACD at the center. Hope this is a double top before game over at 3:30pm. 🤞
Let's see if Scotty B. takes us back to IWM 290. 🧐
Feels like a double-top on IWM. That news about the deal was before the strikes yesterday, so if there's no other updates on the Ayatollah agreeing then I'll prob grab 1x Puts at open and reup 3x if needed midday Friday.
Actually went in on IWM 0dte Calls and won. Thought it would change my mentality but this feels like some disgusting money. I'll use House money to stack Puts near SpaceX, I guess.🤷♂️
IWM gap fill to the downside coming up
go for ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc
🐻 here and I agree with my fellow 🧸s. Using IWM as my example: This is going to V from wherever it bottoms around 8:45am ET and be back to 290+ before 11am ET. They need to keep this scam Market scamming for SpaceX IPO. Then we crash to Hell with all the damned Retail souls.
Hard V tomorrow on IWM back from wherever it bottoms to 290 equilibrium is my guess. SpaceX ~~or~~ and bust.
IWM forecasting Thursday and Friday to start get bloody based on the 4H for this week. We shall see...🧐
These are psychological numbers - round numbers, etc. So, many times it will hover around this. If you are day trading, this one of the first things you notice. Levels, supply, demand whatever fancy words are all built around these numbers. Some may have more pull than others. I day trade options, if you see one my last videos from my youtube channel. Link in my reddit profile. I only have 2 videos 😅 they are from 12 months ago on SPY, I go though also the range of SPY and my trades from the broker. I only trade once a day. Maybe next month, I will put some video. You can see my post over last few weeks, I am now regrowing a small account of $300 on IWM, and my post explain the same levels, a few weeks ago, 280 was the price level I mention multiple time in the posts.
I need IWM to drill to the Earth's core. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Literally 0 reason why IWM should've even gone back up
Looking at the open interest on IWM calls expiring Friday. The massive volume of ITM calls is ridiculous. How are market makers letting the plebeians make so much money on this?
Igaf, IWM, a rising wedge is a Rising Wedge is a RISING FUCKIN WEDGE! PUUUUUUUUUUTSSSSS! 🐻
IWM 1H Rising Wedge Pattern about to break to the downside between today and tomorrow. 🤞🤞🤞
Can we please get IWM to $291. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
C'mon IWM drop that booty like it's extremely overpriced and overheated!
One Clifford here on IWM and this is podracing. 🤞
Tweezers formation on IWM. Might be heading back down. Feeling like chop zone till poasible Sour Hour.
Possible rising wedge on IWM 5m getting ready to halt the rally or dump.
Despite the rally on IWM, Selling volume looks stronger than Buying Volume and MACD is still negative while RSI is going back to the middle. My regarded guess Chop or dead cat soon.
Sell volume hasn't peaked yet on IWM and MACD is close to going negative. Dump could resume after a breather if it keeps up like this for too much longer.
Marvelous Double Top on IWM and dump may accelerate if it goes under the 50 EMA, which may turn into resistance like EOD Friday. Thesis is Buyers are tired of this overpriced Bolshit in the face of $4+ gasses prices.
Im shorting IWM so the bottom in in regards.
SPY/QQQ/IWM looking strong, precious metals still weak. I’m getting tired waiting for GLD and SLV to bounce back
Looks very nice with the features! I will take a look at the repo. Cool thing on the video project too buddy! I have build something similar to this and UI in tkinter as I wanted it to be barebones. It connects to TastyTrade and also to Alpaca. I use mine on and off to day trade options and to test automated strategies with webhook to receive alerts. - I wanted to access the APIs yo trade faster and simpler versus using the broker app as I don't like to keep choosing the options chain, and the confirmation screens and also to automate my strategies - I day trade options on ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc once a day, maybe 2-3 times a week nowadays. - I am re-growing a small account from $300 to $60,000 in 6 months.
I'm aiming for IWM Puts because those companies are the most price sensitive to Oil. Based on historical charts, I am betting IWM may diverge sharply from the more tech-heavy SPY and QQQ as a result of IWM companies being more dependent on consumer spending and cheap fuel costs.
Thinking Friday IWM 285 Puts out the door tomorrow at this unbelivable post Memorial Day Weekend Sale! 🤑🤑🤑 Oil might V hard because those futures look cheap for 20% of the world supply being reduced to a trickle at most.
I was looking thru some of your results posts. I am still in the learning phase of all this. There were a couple days like may 18ish… IWM you first bought some puts on IWM as it looked like the price was falling. The price fell below your strike, then you sold that put at a healthy profit. Is my assessment of how that transpired correct? I think i saw the same thing just the opposite direction with calls a few days layer.
I thinking small caps is the play. They'll benefit from lower gas prices and lower interest rates. Bonds will drop when oil comes down because expectations of a rate hike from the fomc will dissappear. Buying $IWM, or $TNA calls 🚀 🚀 🚀 if there is a real deal by Tuesday morning.
Glad to see you also made money on IWM and QQQ 😁 Very well, just check my profile and you will see the posts I started since last 4 weeks on the subreddit showing my trade with entry times. From Jan to Mar, the screenshot are burried in comments. IWM is very good at getting profits, but take your profit, I see when I try to get more than $20 per contract, it is stretching it. Yes it happens on some days to get $50+ per contract but trying to get it every day is not good. \- I am doing IWM as I re-started with a small cash account to grow it from $300 to $60,000 in 6 months and it fits my strategy and this year I switched to 0dte. I am working full time, so I don't have much time to watch the chart for hours. 1h or so is good nowadays. \- I'll probably switch back to QQQ/SPY when my account is bigger later. They are money generating for day trading. You can see in my video from 12 months ago (see my channel in my profile), I was making profits on SPY and I show also the broker statement. I don't have time to make videos, I'll make some in a month or so.

I was bullish AF in 2022 and 2023, started deleveraging out of UPRO in 2024, got out of BRZU 2025 while building up 10-20% cash/note/defensive position, got out of INTC 2026, and hopefully will deleverage out of TNA/URTY/UWM to IWM/UWM this year or next year if it doesn't collapse. Lowering leverage from 2-3x and single stocks to more defensive mix is a process and not a fucking sell out complete 1 day before black Monday.
How are you doing with IWM these days? I used to be able to churn pretty well but not lately. QQQ has had to bail me out the last few times.
Yes, see my posts with the entries and exits. Some are in comments from Jan to March. I am doing 0dte since start of the year. One trade a day and maybe 2-5 times a week. Only on ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc
*in a loud shrill voice* IWM just rejected off the 50! Reeeeee!
MACD going Negative on the IWM. BOLS... *reflects on past comments by Bols toward Bers* ...um, nevermind nothing. 😉
One more Clifford in IWM to bust that 50 EMA Bolussy open in the islands of Waikikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !
C'mon c'mon IWM fail that 50!!!!!
Aside from the desperate attempt to breakout around 1:30 ET, IWM has been showing a rising wedge pattern all day off of the 50. I think something's about to break.🤞🤞🤞
IWM will be your indicator today to see which direction the market is going to go. Plus Warsh sworn in at 11:00am, so hedge your plays because its going to be a wild one today
So I suppose IWM goes up $9 today for no reason
Why is IWM preforming so well this year? I thought more rate cuts were needed for these companies.
If a deal is signed tonight my calls on SPY and IWM for tomorrow should be a like a local lotto hit. 🤞
IWM looks like we're due for another hard dump and it has happened starting 4pm ET sharp.
shouldve held my IWM calls longer FUCK
Such bullshit… watching IWM posting lower highs and lower lows, enter a 280p and start making a nice profit and this fucker once again blows everything up. Technical Analysis is useless, I’m just using a magic 8 ball the rest of this asshats tenure…
IWM is the most surprising. I guess the new guy really is going to cut rates... for reasons.
Bloom energy up 12% today is whats holding up IWM
Ok IWM, as long as you have your pager with you, I'm ok woth you partying with Theta Gain. But you need to be in a suit and tie showing some respect for this Ber consolidation by 3:30 ET.
