So why IWM and not SPY? More importantly, why not RUT to save on commissions and taxes.
I’ve used them for several years now. Often trading SPY and IWM 0dte’s. My orders on those always go right through. On stock options they are fine on higher volume low spread options but some of the lower volume higher spread options it seems like Webull and others get a better price inside the spread. As I guess you have already noticed the charting isn’t advanced. They do have an options wizard but it’s just on the site and not the app. The options menu is very simple and straightforward. The only change I would make to it is have it automatically update pricing in real time. You have to hit refresh. I have had issues 2-3 times with the app not connecting (usually at market open).
I just need 1% dump on IWM, come on. With this I summon MICHAEL BURYYY
Have noticed this a few times, particularly IWM/RUT. There is an arb there when you see it but it's rare and quickly resolved on SPY. The IWM/RUT one is usually corrected around open. For example if you notice the IWM gap is disproportionately larger than RUT/RTY you can usually expect a violent inventory correction/gap fill at open. You can write a script to monitor the fair value of ES in SPY terms, RTY in IWM terms. Just don't expect to make a living from it. But yeah you've basically noticed an inefficiency which is one component of edge and exactly the kinds of thing you should be noticing.
IWM up over 1% last week while QQQ and SPY down, now it's QQQ and SPY up while IWM is down over 1%. The speed of this rotation looks like increased desperation to try and get into a lasting pump. It's going to cause eveything to fly apart and crash out soon.
Why IWM down so much? I approve of it, but why?
Okay, maybe buying IWM when flipping to calls wasnt the move. I swear I instantly lose money whenever I try trading anything other then spy. With Spy/QQQ at least there is a chance to make money for me
Reversed to 304 IWM calls expiring 2nd. Banking on potentially good Fed commentary tomorrow. If it ticks up even a little I'll sell into high IV pre jobs data. Let's see though if the word "hike" comes up once this goes to 0
How tf did I end up stuck with IWM calls again?
IWM probably gave away the Bol trap happening on SPY.
Google NO, IWM has a 300 wall and hasn’t been able to break it in some time now
Market green I short IWM, market red I long Google. I am a simple man
You degenerates probably didn’t notice IWM is beating QQQ YTD
BREAKING: The US military is currently conducting strikes in the area of the Strait of Hormuz, per US official. See nobody gives a fuck anymore - SPY up huge af and new all time highs next week IWM absolutely SOARING
All the memory, semi, and storage pumpers have moved on to small caps and IWM
Except for IWM That shit is pumping it's dick off
Imagine buying QQQ instead of IWM
IWM Head and Shoulders is approaching the neckline to complete this Dark Formation. Next stop: Oblivion. May there be Mercy on Man and AI Machine, Bol and Ber, and all be Forgiven for their Sins Amen. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1ug2hkd/comment/otyw7dy/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1ug2hkd/comment/otym27k/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button
They are all laggards YTD. They also have the best earnings. Smalls and IWM will just go sideways or down and money will rotate back into them. 80% of money managers are underperforming the market. They need something to pump. That and software,
Head and Shoulders look to be forming on SPy and QQQ. More pronounced on IWM. Prepare for a Cease Fire Violating Red Scare Weekend! 🍿🐻
On IWM, it seems the right shoulder is about to be formed. The Neckline is around 296.20. So IF this is a Head & Shoulders, IWM will head to 296.20 and then break through lower to confirm the patter. 🧐🍿🐻
We found the professor among the students. Is it possible for a large volume etf like IWM to experice a squeeze?
its all about days to cover not just the float number. 30% on a stock that trades 50k shares a day is a powder keg but same 30% on something with massive volume its nothing. the IWM has huge liquidity so market makers can hedge easy for a single small cap if that 30% is held by dumb money and they all try to exit same time you get the gamma squeeze. i learned this the hard way on some biotech play last year, price went parabolic for two days then cratered just watch the borrow rate thats your real tell, if it starts climbing above 20-30% annual thats when shorts are getting nervous
If you have House Money from Puts, might want to DCA some OTM Calls as a Tithing to the Ber Gods of Chaos. IWM 0.01 Calls have been Jackpots when Tweets come in the afternoons. Usually 🥭 will try to change the trend with a Tweet the redder the Market gets, especially on Fridays. But again, this is an offering of thanks for the Put House Money, and don't expect any returns from said offering.🐻😉
Give me one more pump on IWM and I will full port puts again, sold them too early this time
IWM really has regard strength.
Imagine buying shitty unprofitable boomer tech stocks instead of going all in on Midwest regional credit unions and southwest regional meat packers. IWM to $500
🤔 hmmm. Tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM ET, the U.S. government releases the May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation report...we either print or go full Satan drill... Keep a close eye on the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). Small-cap stocks are heavily weighed down by high interest rates; a cold inflation print tomorrow will spark a massive, aggressive rotation into smaller companies. Tomorrow marks the official conclusion of Amazon Prime Day 2026---Early data and consumer spending engagement metrics from the event are expected to hit the newswires throughout the day.
IWM needs to hurry up and crash too
IWM is going to drill hard one of these days
For their next trick, they will rug the shit out of IWM.
Yeah I went for it because IWM has been unusually strong and keeps getting closer to breaking out over 300, maybe tomorrow is the day... but maybe not lol
The market is rotating away from tech (QQQ) and into small caps (IWM) and Industrial (DIA). Seems like QQQ is holding above 700 for now though.
And now IWM pushes again. Market manipulation clear as day
Don't know what's happening IWM, but thanks for the discount on Puts. 🐻🤷♂️
Thankfully I am invested in IWM not the bag 7
Another day of IWM being the safest investment on planet earth
Everything down outside of memory and small caps. And a bunch of RSP components. You just know if this continues they will rug the shit out of IWM. It’s the next source of capital if we don’t get a real bounce soon.
I gave up on puts with IWM. Your brain says it should be dumping and it won’t
Lmao I bought IWM puts at the bottom again
IWM also in a clear uptrend. I feel like this is really just a mag 7 story. QQQ at neckline for the Head and shoulders need to see this hold.
This is awesome. Every pop gets shorted on IWM.
How is the IWM and QQQ moving in sync
Cmon 303 for IWM ain’t hard. It’s literally right there
been a month straight of rotation into small caps. IWM is 0.5%+ outperforming spy and qqq almost every day
small caps make no fucking sense month+ of IWM being at least 0.5% higher than spy basically every day. refuses to meaningfully drop with it
New port idea: 25% XMAG 25% DRAM 25% SMH 25% IWM
I’m short the one fucking ETF that refuses to die. Fuck you IWM. Feels bad man.
Yo J.P. Morgan or sacs, you have to power to pump IWM, just do it pimp
303 for IWM and we will be alright
IWM under 300 is an automatic buy
IWM casually making new ATH’s intraday while the rest of the market dies on the vine is absolutely comical.
Imagine buying the QQQ dip instead of the IWM dip
why the hell is IWM pumping lol
IWM is ticking my taint. 300 and hard rejects.
Except for the small caps that become mega caps IWM 12 out of the last 13 months green
Imagine buying QQQ calls yesterday instead of IWM calls
Backing up the truck and loading up on absolutely DIRT CHEAP IWM calls on this fake dip
IWM has a P/E of 71 lmao. Good lord.
IWM. A collection of the hottest companies on earth.
IWM calls or SPY puts or HOOD calls to make it outta hood?
Bols have been so mouthy tonight with all my comments. Only thing to do is bid a goodnight to all while MU, QQQ, SPY and IWM are starting to point down. Sweet dreams.🐻
IWM went up on MU earnings and the bag7 down.
Thanks for the info, I really do appreciate it. Can you please expand on rolling the untested side? What's the benefits of this? I have been living somewhere in between the .15 and .20 mark on delta. I was running weeklies as this is kinda what I feel the sweet spot is for dodging bad news or rate/inflation data. I feel like the longer you're in the longer you're exposed to something going wrong right? How high does IV have to be to collect a 1:2 rr? That seems really good. Mine are like 1:3 average. I've been running them on IWM/RUT pretty successfully. This week I put one in on SPX and NDX. Then the entire market dropped like a sack of bricks so I'm teetering on a failed trade if tomorrow isn't green. They expire Friday and I'm about .3% below my put strike.
Ok, you know what. Now I'm genuinely happy for MU, SPY and QQQ Bols. Beacuse everyone's about to sellout of IWM on *quadruple* divergence and prob rush into tech.
Market broadening. See RSP IWM XBI
Last chance to sell all your tech and semi positions and all in IWM calls
why the fuck has IWM been so impossibly bullish for like a month straight always outperforming spy and qqq, barely moves down with them
IWM going to finish up 2% today Plenty of meat left on the bones do not be left out
Backing up the truck and loading up absolutely dirt cheap IWM calls on this fake dip
Looks like Bol traps across SPY, QQQ and IWM forming. Selling off due to uncertainty over reaction to MU earnings would make sense given what we've seen happen to NVDA with their own stellar beats.
We have a narrow double-peak on IWM. Looks like this could be a super narrow head and shoulders. If so, we're about to sell off the rest of the day on a confirmed Bol trap. 🧐 Buuut too early to tell and the peaks are very close together, so could just be getting ready for another leg up.
IWM up 1.5% today how's dram and SMH?
Well it turns out shit (IWM) does float
IWM been moving like a meme stock
IWM casually hitting another ath
Any chance of IWM hitting 300 today? Would be a nice milestone.
wtf has IWM been injecting? unlimited strength for like a month straight it outperforms everything
IWM up another casual 1% lol
IWM has regard strength. My goodness.
Why on earth is IWM up another 2 bucks
If rate hikes are the fear, then tell me, while SPY dumps, WHY IS IWM GREEN
Rate hikes, dollar going up, bond yields signalling investors are exiting, somehow IWM squeezes up again. There has never been a more manipulated index than IWM
Since when did IWM become the safest place to be?
IWM / small caps outperforming every index YTD and 1Y by a large margin Load the poots
In with 297 IWM calls
Anyone have theories on why the IWM/RTY is showing so much relative strength? Wouldn't interest rates affect SME much more than the S&P?
how on earth is IWM just -0.2% lol
