IWM rising has to be the sickest shit there is. I mean bro, don't the companies over there need China?
wierd QQQ looks like it wants to fall. IWM is oddly strong... spy in between
IWM just get back below $195.
IWM up. Smallest companies most impacted by China embargo are up. Cool shit.
The thing about all of this that is quite bullish is not that we’re going up a ton, it’s that it’s looking quite broad. Even IWM wants to go up. RSP green
I've been bag holding IWM and PLTR for about 3 weeks. It's fun
Don’t do this. Even IWM is moving. It’s a really broad pump
At this point my IWM outs are just lottos rn
Because the other indexes are also green except IWM, and also Gaetz talking about descheduling again.
I think there are only few people scalping IWM 5/9 185 PUTs, and all we are doing is fucking each other....
Lmao this pump is broader, IWM coming too
I choose to think my poots may still print. IWM 190p 05/09
Well I had a $205 loss on IWM calls lol
Try IWM. It generally moves similarly to the S&P (red days will be red, green days green) but much cheaper options.
Been seeing massive put buys for IWM for 5/16/25 but it refuses to die. Maybe they're just hedging but I've been surprised at its resilience. Small caps can't put up with tariff and inflationary pressure as much as the big boys, so what gives. 
You mean IWM? It hasn’t bounced much since the lows
Thats why I'm all in on IWM 2027c
30 puts on IWM reporting for duty
My IWM puts are already printing
Well there goes my IWM calls
Beautiful. Can you do my IWM puts expiring 5/16 that are $13 OTM?
Break 196 IWM I know you want to
If small caps ever have a “reversion to the mean” move IWM calls will truly bestow wife changing gains
weekend IWM calls was not the play?
Just need $IWM to $185 by lunch time tomorrow
Full port IWM 195 calls for Monday
Im shorting IWM and XRT based on the coming inventory shortages in the US
How did you do on April 9 when IWM shot up 14%?
Interesting! Well I've been avoiding spy for these condors. I'll do spy for directional cuz the swings are higher and stick to IWM only for condors and i think if vix is lower than 20 yoy cud do a butterfly. But yah the IWM is way more stable.
Yes, they work in liquid stuff like SPQ, IWM, and QQQ with certain slippage of course. Elsewhere..... No, they will not give you a good price is the order is "STOP MARKET" Yes, you may get the price you want if the order is "STOP LIMIT" No, you may not get the LIMIT price fill in a fast market.
Check out the P/C ratio on IWM and HYG. June looks interesting.
I think OP means to buy about $270k SGOV and then trade options against that deposit. u/_MichaelHawk \-- any underlying in mind you'd like to trade? index ETFs like SPY/QQQ/IWM, single names, etc? I think delta 0.10 weeklies will take some effort no matter which underlying
short IWM and SOXL while hedging with TQQQ/FNGA
lol fuck me, still kept some IWM puts but sold my qqq and spy. And i was green this morning too lmaoo
The $.01 IWM puts I bought are 10 baggers in less than 30 minutes. Unfortunately for me I was averaging down on ones I bought yesterday
When my PLTR and IWM puts go to zero, I'm taking my $6k of profit over the last month and going home. No longer good at this game.
IWM allergic to 194 the last few days.
I disagree with most of the answers that you've received. Hedging a portfolio is very different than trading short term. Every few years when the market looks sketchy, I hedge a lot of my positions, some individually, some with SPY/IWM options. I buy IWM or SPY put LEAP spreads 10% OTM and 10% wide with a cost of about 1.5% of the proceeds being hedged. Because I'm comfortable shorting equities, 10% OTM gives me modest protection and between the two, I can offset a decent amount of portfolio loss. With a normal cooperative market during the year, I cover and re-sell the short puts and/or roll the long leg down, lowering the cost of the position of to a net outlay of half a percent or better. If the market is higher after 6-9 months and the short puts become worth very little, I close them, ending up with long protective puts which then provide full protection below their strike price. How effective they are depends on the index's current price. If the long puts have any decent salvage value, sometimes I roll them out to the next hedge to avoid the increased theta decay during the last few months. To be clear, the objective is to have 10% of inexpensive portfolio protection that is 10% OTM in the early part of the year. If it's later in the year, it turns into very low cost long put protection. In 2020, I had a lot of leftover long March SPY puts worth 10 cents two weeks before expiration. When the market tanked due to Covid, I rolled them down, selling them for $15 to $21. I rolled them down 2-3 more times that month. Between these leftover puts and individual position hedges, I was down less than 10% when the market dropped 35%. Reasonably easy to recover from. And this was despite owning several 1,000 share positions in large caps that lost more than 50% during the drop (CCL, DOW). I survived the collapse of stocks hit hardest by the pandemic because of this hedging. This year, the tariff talk troubled me. In early February, I bought Sep and Jan IWM $210 puts outright and I have rolled them down 3 times to $175, putting a nice gain in my pocket. They're now free and if the market manages to reverse, I don't care if they expire worthless. They offset a large chunk of my portfolio's loss which I booked and that is what they were intended for. Who knows, maybe they pay off even more in the next 4-8 months??? One mroe thing, if your long puts were intended as a hedge and they're nicely profitable, IMHO, roll them down rather than sell short puts against them.
I'm mainly trading SPY and IWM 0DTE ITM calls/puts. I don't plan on ever buying 250 contracts at a time but i have done 40 with my paper trading account with IWM
Huge SPY and IWM put sweeps coming in.
IWM down while SPY/QQQ up almost half a percent right now. Real economy index struggling while internationals/tech bounce back.
I got SPY 600c, IWM 190p, cash and a ton of margin for the 'new bottom'. Not unhappy with the old bottom btw.
Glad I didn’t sell the calls this time. If IWM hits $200 tomorrow we will print. Still holding puts because this shit is going to tank but might as well make money both ways.
jesus only about 60K in puts across IWM, QQQ, SPY (QQQ and SPY) bought at close today and IWM earlier in the day
Im being forced to post here due to the auto-mod so hopefull someone will see this and be able to help ----------- I've been paper trading options for about a month now and have grown my account from 1000 to just under 6000 on 0dte - mostly scalping I've gone from 1-5 contracts at a time to 30 at a time using webull's papertrading platform. I plan to continue paper trading for a few more months, but as my fake account grows and I increase the number of fake contracts I'm buying/selling how realistic is it compared to a real life trade? **Can I expect to buy and sell 30 contracts within a few seconds? what about 50? or 100? I see some people talk about 250 contracts at a time.** I only trade on high volume tickers like SPY, IWM, QQQ
bought 547 at close. Have puts on IWM, QQQ, and SPY. If we dont tank soon am fucked
If you’re buying strikes on $ cost, you’re clueless. They just compared SPY and IWM using $ when they’re on completely different vol bases. Follow the trade recs fine, bad fundamentals can still lead to profit. But do not under any circumstances think that this person know’s what they’re talking about.
WOLF's volume is outpacing IWM today will wonders never cease?
If small caps ever actually have a reversion to the mean trade IWM calls will be kingmakers Idk if that ever happens tho
already deep in IWM puts, waiting to see where SPY lands befoe loading any more puts
Bought some more IWM puts.... F me
SPY keeps rejecting 545 and IWM keeps rejecting 194. No volume. You keep buying, I will thank you later for your exit liquidity.
Locked and loaded gurl. IWM 190p
Come on IWM, pump just a little more so that put order fills and then you can crash.
same lol will start edging in 544 on SPY and 194 no IWM
I was able to get a straddle on Russel 2000 (IWM) 191 put and 190 call. Costed about 370 but max loss is 270. Hopefully we can get some movement.
ramsey also thinks paying over 100bps for mutual funds is good. he's an idiot when it comes to investments and you shouldn't listen to him. you want a simple allocation like this? 35% VTI (large cap/blue chip), 35% SCHD (large cap with a div /income focus), 15% IWM (small cap) and 15% VXUS (int'l). done
Bought IWM CALLs, managed to win this morning and switched to PUTs, down slightly on this little liquidity pump.
IWM war at $192, should be at $172.
IWM is a good guy. Has made winners of everyone who bought the highs on tariff pause day. QQQ has not yet achieved this
I just bought 3 more puts on IWM for next week and May. Is everyone stupid thinking that 50-60% tariffs on China are cool and good and won’t fuck us up?
Scalping IWM CALLs since open. It is insane. Up 1K, down 1K, up 2K, down 2K...
IWM has recovered quite a bit of the April shitstorm
Not IWM better than SPY and QQQ
Paper handed 5 IWM calls yesterday that expired today and tomorrow that would be ITM now to go into puts. Feels bad to lose at least 5x-10x gains and then them into major losses.
Holy shit the pump didn't fade? LOL @ Tesla - Thought it would down, glad I stayed away. Wish I had bought some SPY or IWM calls yesterday though.
good thing i didnt short IWM before closes lmaoo
IWM is king you dirty skanks
IWM is insanely strong. This is absurd
imagine seeing IWM > SPY & QQQ
IWM up 1% in less than an hour because small caps love tariffs?
IWM was way more fun to trade today than SPY
Come IWM. Die and go to Snow Bunny Heaven 🙏
Someone kill $IWM please, it needs to continue to die. 
I just shorted IWM, am I a regard?
